Unreal scenes in Constanța, where, in the middle of the day, two piglets were slaughtered, burned and then cut up in a park in the city, recently set up by the City Hall. And to complete the picture, the two piglets were brought to the “operation” site by a patient transport van with IL numbers. Unfortunately, it seems that the two “patient” piglets did not survive.

A group of at least 5 people acted to fulfill the age-old customs and traditions of slaughtering pigs on the eve of Christmas holidays. Equipped with a kettle, a burner, water bowls, everything needed for a successful Igant, they slaughtered, burnt and butchered the two piglets without anyone disturbing them.

The incident took place in the Constanta district of Km 4-5, Progresului street, right in the new park set up by the Constanta City Hall two weeks ago near the fence of the military unit.

Ignat is the (Orthodox) Christian Holiday associated with slaughtering pigs. It’s also known as “pig’s giveaway” (alms) because parts of the pig carcass are shared with participants and neighbors.

Description:

Scene is in a bar, showing people standing at a bar and some crowd behind. In the foreground, there’s some man drinking a beer, a dog drinking a beer, and a woman drinking a cocktail and standing like she just came in. The woman is dressed for a night out. The dog looks like a dog, but with an eye patch, bald/shaven head, scars on the chest, and ear partially cut off. The drug turns to the woman with an expression of anger and resentment, and says:

It’s people like me who make that cheap perfume you’re wearing possible.
