In the last days of January 2003,the horrifically mutilated and decaying body of the President of the French foundation, 'La Societé Nationale de Défense des Animaux' (SNDA), was discovered in her home in a near suburb of Paris. Andrée Valadier was last seen alive on November 15, 2002 and forensic reports apparently indicate she was probably murdered that same day. Her daughter, missing since then, has been accused by the French Criminal Police of responsibility for this heinous act, notwithstanding irreconcilable contradictions in this 'official' version of the crime, as well as its psychological inconceivability to the two women's last closest collaborators. Meanwhile, the same Criminal Police have gone (and continue to go) to great lengths imposing this grotesque explanation, trying to intimidate and discredit those who publicly refuse to accept it, among whom, this article's author. The Criminal Police stubbornly refused to investigate other leads at the time, which may make ever now knowing the Truth improbable. Nevertheless, the lessons of this murder (or murders, Mother and Daughter) are forgotten, as the authorities so clearly hope, only by increasing the peril of those involved in the same kind of uncompromising Animal Defense in France...
