The ELB, in a last-minute call, urged the population to mobilize by 6:00 p.m. on Friday in the portals of the farms of Dominchine, Gabadi and Barkox to prevent the slaughter of birds from small farms as the French authorities want.
The leader of the ELB union, Panpi Sainte Marie, has described what is happening as dramatic. Andde Sainte Marie, a counselor in Aquitaine, says the police and health services do not have the right to enter by force.
The owner of the farm in Gabadi warns that the police have left today, but that he can return tomorrow.
