Intervilles will make its comeback on France Télévisions in 2025. And, with Nagui hosting, this new version of the cult program, will no longer call cows. It’s an animal welfare issue.
Thus, faced with the growing controversy, Nagui confided this November 23, 2024, in the program C l’hebdo, his reasons. He estimated, facing Aurélie Casse: “I would like them to remain happy in the wild. I think there are plenty of people who play pool games in the summer, without necessarily having a cow in their pool. I don’t believe that this is the natural element of a cow to be in a swimming pool or on the track with black soap“.
Nagui remembers the death of a cow
And if Nagui assured: “I don’t accuse anyone of mistreating“, However, he recalled that he had this show.produced for years”. And to mention one incident in particular: “In L’Isle-d’Abeau, in 2005, there was a cow that died during rehearsals.
This November 26, 2024, on the set of Touche pas à mon poste, Cyril Hanouna’s band returned to this statement. And while Thomas Guénolé sided with Nagui, Isabelle Morini-Bosc got angry.
She said: “I’m sorry Thomas but there is one thing that exasperates me, it’s when people who don’t know anything make judgments in-depth as if they knew the sector very well“.
Obviously well informed, the journalist with a 40-year career explained: “For the cows ofIntervilles, First of all there are veterinarians and ethologists next door, and they are not at all unhappy.”
Turning to Thomas Guénolé, Isabelle Morini Bosc lectured him: “You say ‘I can’t stand animal abuse’. What allows you to say that there is animal abuse in this show, with the cows? This is absolutely false.”
Isabelle Morini Bosc furious
And to specify regarding the production of this popular show: “And what’s more, they’re not stupid, they take cows that want to play and others less so, they took those that were the most participatory, first for the show and then because the animal is happier.
Without mentioning Nagui, she said: “No, an animal is not necessarily unhappy when he’s on set. Obviously, you have to look at it on a case-by-case basis.”
To conclude, Isabelle Morini Bosc was very angry. She swore: “But it annoys me when people who don’t know anything start to pass judgment on everything, that annoys me“. Cyril Hanouna and the entire set applauded wildly.
