The debate, "The Animal Question, A Politically Essential Question," led by
Yves Bonnardel at Le Seul Problème (The Only Problem) (46 rue Consolat, 13001), went well and was warmly welcomed. 30 people were present, mostly those who are already interested in the subject. The discussion often turned to the fact that activists -- often unintentionally -- present the animal question to the public as if it were a personal question: as if each person were ultimately free, morally, to decide whether
to exploit and kill or not. The main assertion of the abolition of meat presents the question from a political angle since it addresses all of society in its demand to ban this practice. The discussion was dynamic and interesting and continued late into the evening.
