L'Équarrissage pour tous (English: Dog Culling for Everyone) is a play by Boris Vian, originally written in 1947 as a three-act anarchic farce and revised in 1948 into a single act. Set during the Allied liberation of France in 1944, specifically on D-Day, the play is a satirical work characterized by strong antimilitarist themes. Through derision and burlesque, it critiques war, aspects of American society—such as imperialism, puritanism, and propaganda—and the institution of the family. After difficulties in securing a director and cast, L'Équarrissage pour tous was eventually staged by André Reybaz and the Compagnie du Myrmidon. The premiere took place on 14 April 1950 at the Théâtre des Noctambules and was initially well received by the audience. However, several theatre critics who had previously expressed amusement published negative reviews the following day, criticizing the play's content. Others, including Jean Cocteau and René Barjavel, offered more favorable assessments. Attendance declined, and the play was withdrawn from the program in May. The incident contributed to Boris Vian's growing dissatisfaction with critics, whose "papers" he referenced in the first published edition of the play later that year.
