Animal rights association L214 calls for a ban on slaughter without stunning, a ritual aimed at producing halal or kosher meat. The request was made after the broadcast, in March, of a video filmed in the Bigard slaughterhouse in Venarey-les-Laumes (Côte-d'Or) While the animals must remain immobilized after slitting their throats until they become unconscious, they are transported and hung, showing "obvious signs of consciousness" “Some are in total panic,” according to L214, which stigmatizes “cruelty” and “deliberate violence” The Dijon prosecutor, Olivier Caracotch, confirmed having received the complaint, indicating that it would be “examined quickly’ The prefecture, for its part, assured that this slaughterhouse “is subject to permanent control” L214 also demands the abolition of the exemption authorizing the slaughter of animals without stunning.
