Overview

• Ajaccio prosecutor Nicolas Septe launched a gendarmerie-led inquiry into the Porto-Vecchio multi-species abattoir after L214 filed a complaint for “sévices graves”.
• The investigation centers on alleged non-compliance with stunning protocols and slaughter regulations at the Collectivité de Corse–owned facility.
• L214 published videos shot on May 7 and July 7 that depict cows, calves and sheep bled alive after failed stunning and flawed ritual slaughter practices.
• The association accuses the DDPP Corse-du-Sud and other state services of complicity in illegal abattoir practices and demands the plant’s immediate closure.
• Foundations 30 Millions d’Amis and Brigitte Bardot have joined L214 in urging Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard to order nationwide inspections of slaughterhouses.
