Dear subscribers,
The opportunity was too good for carnivorophobes.
Take advantage of the suspicion weighing on the origin of Covid-19 - a starving Chinese who ate pangolin in sauce - to support their campaign to attribute all the misfortunes of our world to the fact that humans eat meat.
“Eating animals got us into this mess.
Avoid another pandemic: go vegan »
is the current slogan of PETA, a particularly moving association. For lack of humor they take themselves so seriously, let's recognize that vegans have ideas. And a talent for activism, like the leftists once did. Commando operations in suspect farms, wild demonstrations in front of ministries, attacks on butchers, shock videos, "name and shame" against agrifood companies accused (rightly or wrongly) of promoting questionable practices.
In a few years, their fight has taken on spectacular media coverage. But what does the backstage of this radical movement look like? Are his intentions as pure as they appear? How are these associations financed? Don't they sometimes have the wrong targets? Are their methods legal and that effective? Do all vegans share their way of acting and thinking? For several months, Édouard de Mareschal and Clément Fayol investigated the heart of this sometimes opaque nebula. Giving a voice to both sides, they have also dissected their texts, their leaflets, their books where sometimes appear, between two scientific data, disquieting stories and lies. This does not prevent them from weighing more and more, especially with the political world.

As for evaluating their ability to replace those they devote to gemonies to manage animal life, we only have to see what has become of the Breton zoo of Pont-Scorff bought by the ban and the backbench of animalist and vegan circles at the initiative of Hugo Clément to question and doubt reasonably.
Or even worry?
To read the vigorous essay by Paul Sugy, pillar of the Figaro Vox for several years despite his young age, there is no doubt.
In
The Extinction of Man
(Tallandier), from which we publish exclusive extracts, he warns about the anthropological issues that the antispeciesist ideology carries.
From promoting animal welfare, there is only one step to the destruction of mankind, he warns.
So true is it that hell is paved with supposed good intentions.
And that happiness never ceases to be presented as a new idea.
Saint-Just was already saying this in his time.
It was that of Terror.
Paul Sugy, a young journalist from Figaro Vox, torpedoed antispeciesist ideology by publishing a vigorous essay from which we publish exclusive extracts.

Opposing radical animalists is not incompatible with love for animals. May we be forgiven for distinguishing the giraffe and the earthworm, the rhino and the centipede, the lion and the mosquito. When a photographer of harmful insects manages to subjugate us like Laurent Baheux with his black and white pictures of savannah animals, we will bow down. For years, this photographer has been immortalizing in particular the big cats of Africa, and it's sublime. By publishing his photos, by supporting the release on the screens of a documentary dedicated to him, signed Mathieu Le Lay (UshuaïaTV, Tuesday, May 11, 8:45 p.m.), we relay without barguign the cry of alarm that he pushes to protect the wild animals. Our crazy African Vincent Jolly theeven followed in one of his last reports in Kenya, in the Masai Mara reserve where an incredible migratory episode of wildebeest and zebras takes place every year. The place is known to all:
