“We are tackling the Dordogne, even if we began our first forays into the department three years ago. Our goal is to be there every two months in Champcevinel, to start. We are also looking for new distribution points near Bergerac and Marmande. [Lot-et-Garonne] and Langon [Gironde]. We just need parking and a nice partner, connected to our action,” explains Thomas Dano, founder of the association which has become a company.
“Ethical choice”
“Without your help, the chickens will go to the slaughterhouse the next day,” warns Poule pour tous on its website. To save the layers destined for the slaughterhouse and offer them a peaceful retirement, individuals wishing to “adopt” them are invited to reserve their animal online. “It’s obligatory. We must know who we bought from, but also who we sell to, it's a question of traceability. And we only transport those that are reserved, it’s also a matter of animal welfare,” defends Thomas Dano.
Through “the rescue of 18-month-old laying hens from slaughterhouses”, the company claims “an ethical choice”. It involves recovering chickens from farms, transporting them and distributing them to customers.
Every year, 50 million of these chickens are slaughtered in France, according to Poule pour tous. Those rescued are able to lay eggs in private homes for three to four years, the equivalent of 1,000 eggs.
“Given the urgency”, specify the defenders of these animals, they will be sold at 7 euros each, with a price per batch of six hens (35 euros).
