FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 France will ban from next year the killing of male chicks by crushing or gassing, a practice denounced as barbaric by animal welfare groups, and will push for a similar measure at European level, the agriculture minister said on Sunday. Each year, 50 million male chicks are culled in this way, Julien Denormandie said in an interview posted on the website of daily Le Parisien. Only females, future egg-laying hens, are kept alive. "France is the first country in the world, along with Germany, to end the crushing and gassing of male chicks," Denormandie added. The two countries will try to convince their European Union partners to outlaw the practice at a council of EU agriculture ministers on Monday, he said. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/france-bans-crushing-gassing-male-chicks/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"From 2022, breeders in France will instead need to equip themselves with machines to detect the sex of chicks before they hatch." So there won't be any males unless they choose to let it hatch (for breeding I assume). Do you feel him sir? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
