The Brigitte Bardot Foundation affirmed in a tweet that after ten days spent at the Agricultural Show, amid noise and drinking, the animals were loaded into livestock trucks, heading to the slaughterhouse. True or false ?
While the Agricultural Show closed its doors, an official from the Brigitte Bardot Foundation affirmed that the animals would be killed. “After 10 days spent in noise, the animals will be loaded into livestock trucks, headed to the slaughterhouse”, tweeted Christophe Marie. A statement relayed en masse on social networks.
A minority is slaughtered
According to the profession, these animals are far too valuable to be killed. The Agricultural Show is an opportunity to present their most beautiful animals, the pride of breeding, whose animals are sought after for their genetic qualities. The Bardot Foundation representative acknowledged a lack of nuance and has since removed his tweet. However, a minority will be slaughtered at the end of the Show, like cattle sold at auction.
