Don't Take Your Pigs To Town...in Mazeikiai, Lithuania

From Jen, courtesy of the Baltic Times:

"Just to prove that the English speaking world doesn’t have a monopoly on NIMBIES (not in my back yard) people from the northern town of Mazeikiai rallied outside the Danish embassy in Vilnius July 6 in anger at a Danish pig farmer whose operation they say is will create a nuisance that they can not stomach. The owner of the farm, Erwin Nissan, plans to expand his farm permit from 3,000 to over 12,000 pigs. He had previously attempted to get a permit for 54,000 pigs..."

Jen adds, "So they're okay with a Soviet-era refinery (which blew up in a horrific fireball not too long ago) but these little piggies must all the way home...to Denmark."

And for the record, the pig is a brave and noble animal. Send your love letters someplace else PETA.
