Question 7146 — animals

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Le Coq draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty to the inhumane slaughter practices practiced in certain slaughterhouses in France. On April 25, 2025, a survey carried out by the L214 association highlighted slaughtering techniques within a slaughterhouse. The investigation reveals acts of cruelty, serious abuse and mistreatment of animals. These practices are not unfortunately not unique and many slaughterhouses are regularly blamed. These revelations, beyond highlighting the persistence of cruel slaughter methods, also illustrate the inability of public authorities to properly ensure compliance with its own standards. These practices contravene the objectives set by Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009, in particular as to the fact that “operators or any person associated with killing animals should take the necessary measures to avoid pain and alleviate as much as possible the distress and suffering of the animals. He asks for an audit of all French slaughterhouses with publication of reports in order to guarantee transparency and compliance with standards.
