So this could get messy

TL;DR: a bunch of extremist vegetarians are threatening to starve themselves to death if the local butchers don't get closed down. Muslims are protesting that this is discriminating against them and their religious duty to kill stuff. The funny thing is, it looks like the veggies might win. No, this isn't in the Mail.

I'll just point out that this is not in England (or the rest of the UK) before anyone goes crazy without reading the actual story

You're right - that's probably why the Mail haven't picked it up yet

I don't care where in the world it is....and I haven't read it.

If they want to starve themselves to death, let them.

If there is ever proof veggies need some good meat this is it. They've lost their marbles. Muppets.

Yeah, it's as outrageous as muslims banning alcohol shops.

Or worse Muslims killing and abusing each other in the region. Man if they want to pick a cause and make a stand there are so many worthy causes.

Fun fact about the Jainists: they found Gandhi to be a bit too violent for them.

Live and let live I say! Though that doesn't work so well with hunger strikes and ritualistic animal slaughter I suppose!

Somehow, i dont think butchers will close.
