Villeneuve-d’Ascq. An animal protection association calls on a restaurant to remove pig from its menu

A restaurant specializing in pork asked to change its menu out of respect for the animals. This is the request that was made by the animal protection association PETA, against Friends like pigs, located in Villeneuve-d’Ascq (North).

For PETA, if you like pigs, then you don’t eat them

“The name of your restaurant couldn’t be more apt: pigs are sensitive and playful animals, who develop friendships with each other and with humans. It is worrying that animals we consider to be ‘friends’ are reduced to mouthfuls of flesh on your tables.», We can read in the press release sent to the address and which we were able to consult.

Understand that if we love pigs, we shouldn’t find them on our plates. The Villeneuvois restaurant, which has been operating for forty yearsis therefore requested to review his copy. At least in part. Because the menu already offers some meat-free recipes, to the delight of PETA.

To drive the point home, the association does not hesitate to recall certain data concerning abusive pig farming: “Piglets are taken from their mothers far too young, subjected to mutilation, often deprived of care, fattened and then sent to the slaughterhouse, where they are asphyxiated in CO2 wells or hung upside down and their throats slit,” she writes.

So, will the restaurant comply with PETA’s requests? Contacted, its staff has not yet responded to us on the subject…
