L214 Une voix pour les animaux

Faced with the unacceptable suffering inflicted on animals by humans, the L214 group has become their voice, revealing to the public the barbaric practices on animals and broadcasting videos filmed in secret in French abattoirs.

But how has this collective, which started as a handful of militants, succeeded in alerting the media and breaking the law of silence? L214 has carried out detailed and uncompromising inquiries into the violence inflicted on animals due to farming and slaughtering conditions France, and the impact of these practices on the environment and on our health.

The book sets out their conclusions, the way in which they were made public, and the reactions of industrialists, the media and the government. Based on recent ethological studies, it reminds us that animals are sensitive and intelligent creatures, are able to feel moral suffering and have social links with their fellow animals. It questions our consumer habits and incites us to change the way in which we view animals .
