Aujeszky's disease. 'Another fraud': questions about the causes of contamination and the slaughter of over a hundred woolly pigs from a farm.

Over 15 days after the discovery of an Aujeszky's disease outbreak in Tarn-et-Garonne, the prefecture announces on Thursday, March 28, 2024, the culling of the 'entirety of animals on the farm'. A blow for farmer Pierre-Guillaume Mercadal. The operator, known for his conflict with the mayor of Montjoi and his links to the far-right, believes he is the victim of a 'shakedown'.
