For several years, animal welfare has been invited to public debate.

The raw videos of animal rights organizations like L214 have a lot to do with it. Just last week, the association published a video of a rabbit farm in Deux-Sèvres, crammed into small wire cages not far from drugs that are sometimes out of date.
