While our campaign on forced swimming continues, we have not forgotten that animal testing is overflowing with other legal but just as unbearable practices.

Raising awareness of the harmful effects of hunting: One Voice is rallying in ten towns in France on 8 and 9 October
The day after the publication of the decrees on traditional hunting of field larks, that One Voice went up against the State Council for, and the publication of the IPSOS/One Voice survey on the opinions of French people regarding hunting, on the weekend of 8 and 9 October, One Voice is organising national action coordinated by their local branches to raise awareness among the population of the harmful effects of hunting… regarding the animals killed, of course, but also the dogs used as weapons and considered as tools, the risks for humans, and the pollution that this hobby inflicts on natural spaces. One Voice will therefore be in Bordeaux, Gap, La Rochelle, Lille, Montpellier, Nantes, Nice, Paris, Rouen, and Troyes.

Official opening of the Chatipis in Marignane (13) on 2 October and Valbonne (06) on 4 October for stray cats
One Voice, who has fought against feline straying for years, is implementing three-way partnerships with towns or drop-in centres and local associations, to make the public aware, to microchip and neuter homeless cats and release them, while finding them a wooden chalet for them to rehydrate themselves, eat, and take comfort. This is therefore what is happening in Marignane (Bouches-du-Rhône) and in Valbonne (Alpes-Maritimes), where the town councils and local associations, ‘La Paix entre les bêtes’ [Peace among beasts] and ‘Extrême sauvetage’ [extreme rescue] respectively, have thus signed a convention alongside One Voice for them to take charge of the problem of stray cats in these two localities.
The Chatipi programme allows cats without a human family to stop suffering from deprivation and above all teaches about cats as well as about feline straying.
The official openings of the Chatipis in Marignane and Valbonne will take place on Sunday 2 October at 5:30pm and Tuesday 4 October at 5pm respectively.
