                 Farming and agriculture are huge in France, yet their 
government is missing something big: a ministry position for farmed animals' 
protection. The lack of such an authority figure has meant abuses against 
farmed animals such as cows, pigs, horses, and chickens have not been taken 
seriously enough — and it will continue to be this way until the situation 
is corrected. For example, a group of French animal rights activists called 
L214 Éthique et Animaux has taken countless videos over the years 
documenting graphic cruelty against animals inside various farms. Despite 
this concrete evidence, harrowing abuses continue to happen.

                  Currently, such investigations would fall under the 
jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture — but since that department is 
more interested in the economics of farming and the interests of farmers, 
there's clearly a conflict of interest. As a result, that means it's not set 
up to care for animals' well-being. Polling shows that more than 70% of 
people in France want the government to create a specific ministry dedicated 
to the welfare of animals. It's time for their leaders to listen to them. 
All animals need protection, and evidence of violence and cruelty needs to 
be investigated properly. Tell French President Emmanuel Macron to rearrange 
his cabinet by adding a new position, the Minister for Animal Welfare!

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Just recently, a Nestlé-owned pork company in France 
was caught abusing its animals so badly, the pigs in their "care" started 
cannibalizing each other. France could and should prevent this by 
establishing a Minister for Animal Welfare now.
