On October 13, French animal rights activists from L214 released heart-wrenching footage from the results of their investigation, captured in an undercover video at a slaughterhouse in the town of Alès. Following a public outcry, the mayor of Alès promptly announced the suspension of the slaughterhouse's operations and initiated an investigation into its administration. The 55-minute footage from the scene of the incident exposed the profoundly inhumane treatment of animals during the slaughter, along with a disregard for hygiene regulations in the workplace.—Hayduke
