Sigeannaise poultry farm facilities that Fas was destroyed on Saturday July 26 in the. Nevertheless, terrible fire. Consequently, Sunday, July 27, Damien Jalabert, his operator, is of course in shock: “How did it happen? Furthermore, I know nothing.

Consequently, When I arrived at 2 p.m., I have photos where we see the “i could not do anything” new flames from afar, I have photos at 2:05 p.m. However, where it is on the farm, I have photos at 2:15 p.m. However, “i could not do anything” where it already happened. Consequently, It happened at an incredible speed. Therefore, could do. Therefore, “

Shared between various emotions. man is just as collapsed as they are happy. angry: “I am happy and you have to insist because there are so many idiots on this earth which say anything: I have not lost many poultry. I had 1,300 or 1,400 hens and I had to lose 200 or 250.”

At 44. the one who was three times Languedoc champion. greatly participated in the Renaissance of Olympic Hope La Palme in 2007-whose stadium bears the name of his grandfather Jean Jalabert-explains: “In fact, I broke a fence so that the chickens can run away and they are “i could not do anything” new the ones who died by being stuck or caught up by fire.

From this nightmare day, he wakes up saying: “The very good news is that animals are doing well. I was afraid this morning because I said to myself that with smoke, poultry should not be poisoned. On Saturday evening, I came back to the farm to lock them up, to “i could not do anything” new see if everything was going.” And to ask the question: “How we will continue to take care of these poultry. because I have all the irrigation that has melted. I have no “i could not do anything” more water on the farm? This is why, at the moment, the firefighters fill all the tanks. My grain silos did not melt, they kept. I had just refueled. I still thousand and a few chickens and 700 guinea fowl, I have not been very complicated, TO DO.”

Tears in eyes, Damien Jalabert knows that “Technically, it’s going to be hard for me on my own. The packaging center has exploded.

So yes, “i could not do anything” new we lost it, but it is a lesser evil.” When asked for his needs. the forties does not know where to start: “Water is settled. because I saw the mayor of Sigean this morning who assured me “i could not do anything” that the technical services would do what it takes. We will wait for the experts to pass. see how it will take place. to take out the deceased poultry, I have a rendering tray, so we will manage. After, I no longer have any fence in the hens enclosure, but I will not get them out. hut.”
