“They are pampered”
Once again, Nagui confirmed that the show would be done “without cows”. Except for the presence of Topa, a “mascot like one you see on sports fields”. The opportunity for this France TV program to give the floor to Charles Dayot, the mayor of Mont-de-Marsan, one of the flagship cities of the program and who do not wish to participate in these conditions. The cities of Dax and Bayonne are in the same positions.
The chief magistrate posed in a vast field where Jean Barrère's horses graze. “These are hectares as far as the eye can see. They are pampered. They will be born here, die here. There are no more animal defenders than the Landais,” he explains, emphasizing this last point: “the Landais are civilized and we love animals.”
“This game is linked to the cow”
In a speech facing the camera, he asks Nagui, using familiarity, to “think carefully”. “You can put the cows back in Intervilles. This game is related to the cow. She is unpredictable, she is playful, she is comical. » And to finish by inviting Nagui to come to the Landes “to see for himself”.
Back on set, Nagui thanked the Landes elected official for this invitation. “He has an extremely soft voice. He speaks to me as if I were someone dangerous,” he adds with a smile. He takes the opportunity to assert his position a little more: “I have no doubt that Landes cows are happy in the wild. This is why I would like them to remain happy in freedom.”
