Protests against France's bovine contagious nodular dermatosis (DNC) culling policy intensified on December 14 in southwest France, with a manure-strewn demonstration in Millau and ongoing highway blockades, as farmers demand alternatives to euthanizing healthy animals. The actions precede Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard's Monday visit to Occitanie amid veterinary backlash and calls for dialogue.
