Protest: Greenpeace turns Lidl branch into a pigsty
Posterized protest in Hamburg: In the Hanseatic city activists of Greenpeace have protested at a Lidl branch against animal suffering. The environmentalists had a special plan: "Through pictures and sounds, the business becomes what's behind the Schnitzel: a conventional pigsty."
So the activists not only filled the shop windows with pictures of breeding pigs, but also put on loudspeakers, from which they played typical noises of an (industrial) pigsty.

With this action, the environmentalists once again want to draw attention to the suffering of the animals, which later end up as schnitzel at the supermarket counter. Greenpeace denounces the conditions in the breeding: "Instead of spout and straw for rooting, there are mostly dirty slatted floors for the clean and extremely intelligent bristle livestock More than 90 percent of all pigs are kept in Germany, including those who later joined Lidl Be meat.

The activists have repeatedly pointed out in recent weeks that our meat is produced in terrible conditions. In another action, activists in many markets have placed stickers on packaged meat in Lidl markets. Inscription for example: "With animal suffering" or "With antibiotics".
"Acting as if there is nothing will not work in the long run," says Christiane Huxdorff, Greenpeace expert on agriculture.
