‘Animal rights’ campaigners urge Germans to put pork in Halal sections of supermarkets

encouraging Germans to place pork in the Halal sections of supermarkets

 

Campaigners on social media are encouraging Germans to place pork in the Halal sections of supermarkets, citing the unethical killing of animals. But although the activists say the campaign is about animal rights, others say it’s an attack on Muslims.

“They do slaughtering like psycho killers, they put knives and cut the animal without any injection or gas. We try to get it in the public, what it means to slaughter Halal and that’s our challenge,” one activist told RT.

The campaigner went on to state that “we don’t want to have religious rights over animal rights, Islam is taking over in Germany, and they are getting more and more rights, and that’s also a very bad thing.”

However, some have accused the campaign of specifically targeting Muslims in Germany, under the guise of championing animal rights.

The campaign is not the first to use pork, or pigs, as a way of speaking out against the Muslim population. Earlier this month, a pig’s head was dumped at the Moroccan ambassador’s home in France. December saw a string of incidents across the globe, with multiple pigs’ heads dumped outside a Muslim school in Lancashire, England, and another one dumped outside a Philadelphia mosque. Also in December, a pig’s head was left in the toilet of a Muslim prayer room at an Australian university.
