The activists give passers-by a deliberately shocking brochure on which is written in red letters: “Operation open doors in the reality of the Gaulois farms”

“We also denounce the genetic selection of chickens which aims to make them grow too fast. They have the bodies of adults and the heads of chicks,” adds Paul Teigné-Soulignac.
“We just inform people who then decide how they want,” says an activist.
“Signatures are flooding in, which shows a problem that affects consumers,” notes Paul Teigné-Soulignac.
