This opinion was voted almost unanimously yesterday! The public authorities and the sectors should now seize it.

Animal welfare (BEA) is thus seen as the lever for a transition in animal husbandry.

- The end of certain practices, such as tail docking, debeaking poultry;
- The reorganization of the sectors with the end of the grinding of the male chicks.
