Question 3821 — animals

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi alerts the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty to the conditions of killing animals in a public slaughterhouse in the Rhône. An investigation recently revealed a clear non-compliance with the regulations in force, set by the decree of December 12, 1997 relating to the processes of immobilization, stunning and killing of animals and the conditions of animal protection in slaughterhouses. Of the cows are decapitated alive and slaughtered while conscious despite being stunned, the animals are brutalized there, panicked at seeing other animals treated in this way. This slaughterhouse produces 3,200 tonnes of meat per year and plans to increase its capacity by 1,300 tonnes by 2026, while being largely financed by public money. The slaughterhouse today supplies school canteens, supermarkets and butchers in the Rhône, under Label rouge or organic Beaujolais certification. On February 3, 2025, the prefect of Rhône partially suspended the activity of the slaughterhouse, in particular the pork chain following a visit by the departmental population protection directorate which noted “major anomalies in terms of animal protection during slaughter”. She asks him if strict compliance and recovery procedures are planned and whether the generalization of activity suspensions is considered given the scale of the problem.
