Savoie Abattoir Suspended After L214's Cruelty Allegations

Animal rights group L214 has filed a complaint, prompting a judicial investigation into alleged inhumane practices at the Maurienne facility.

L214 released a video showing animals being slaughtered while still conscious, which contradicts animal welfare regulations.
The abattoir's operations have been suspended pending a thorough investigation by state authorities.
The association demands an internal audit of French abattoirs and the immediate closure of the Maurienne facility.
L214's complaint highlights multiple instances of non-compliance, including lack of consciousness checks and brutal handling of animals.
The case has spurred discussions on the oversight and regulation of animal welfare practices in the meat industry.
