The upcoming parliamentary election is, in part, about pigs, and on Sunday a demonstration was called on Rådhuspladsen in Copenhagen.

At the demonstration on Rådhuspladsen, people were urged to look their bacon in the eye.

There was a demonstration against Denmark’s pig production on City Hall Square in Copenhagen on Sunday.

At one of them, called Restaurant Fodkold, the owner said demand for organic sausages was higher than usual. Foto: Jens Dresling
