More than 819 million animals are killed each year in Canadian slaughterhouses. Quebec law has recognized, since 2015, the sensitivity of these animals. However, do they receive the legal treatment associated with this recognition? What are the legal limits imposed on farmers who exploit these animals? And even, do such limits exist? If you want to understand, for example, why it is legal to euthanize a piglet by hitting its head on a hard surface, come and attend this conference. This conference aims to untangle the normative elements that revolve around farms and allow them to do what they do.
