"Unfair" Bulgarian ducks

Producers of duck products in the Gers have been badly hit by avian flu this year but are angry to find Bulgarian products on supermarket shelves at prices considerably lower than home produce.
Certain activists complained that although Bulgarian ducks are only half the price of the French equivalent, their competition is unfair because the welfare standards are lower. Consumers, therefore, choosing to pay less are risking the whole production of French ducks.

In an operation designed to draw attention to the problem producers toured supermarkets in Auch and fixed labels to the tins, indicating that the contents were "seriously damaging to French aviculture".
