German Town Changes Tune After Nursery Rhyme Triggered Vegan
Legal Insurrection ^ | 2/10/17 | Mary Chastain

Posted on 02/10/2017 3:36:32 PM PST by markomalley

Someone needs a safe space! The German town Limburg an der Lahn in Hesse has decided to change a song in its glockenspiel after the nursery rhyme triggered a local vegan. From Heat Street:

Before, the town’s bell tunes included a song called “Fox, You Stole the Goose.” It describes how theft puts the fox in the crosshairs of a local hunter with a big, long shotgun.

The Limburg glockenspiel played only the melody, not the lyrics. But the unnamed vegan woman was bothered by the song’s imagery about a hunter with a gun, so she complained to city officials, who yielded to her request.

Limburg’s mayor Marius Hahn said in an interview with a German newspaper that the decision was “really nothing ideological” but instead “just a kind favor for a citizen.”

“I thought it was nice,” he said. “Who am I to refuse such a kindly wish?”

Hahn said he hoped the widespread coverage of the decision would attract visitors to see Limburg’s charming bells. But some, he said, criticized local authorities for yielding to “the demands of a vegan mafia.”



TOPICS: Culture/Society; Germany; Government
KEYWORDS:
In order to avoid offending anybody, perhaps they should change the tune on the Glockenspiel to the Muslim Call to Prayer.

I really loathe vegans and their inclination towards orthorexia. I do not have them as friends and will not tolerate them as customers when I cook.

The Germans seem anxious to give up their heritage and culture.

City Leaders like this pushover Mayor will receive that ‘request’ far sooner than is now expected.

Must be a bad case of “German guilt.”

They’ve become totally spineless.

Vegan diets are so disgusting. The eyes become bloodshot, the skin become pale. And then they do this to their pets too.

Veganism is an eating disorder and, ergo, a mental disorder. Projecting that same psychopathy onto a helpless animal is animal abuse.

I cannot believe how many of these sick degenerates will take dogs and cats as pets and then force them to eat beans.

A real vegan wouldn’t live in a town where she would be known as a Limburger. Cheese is verboten to vegans.

These arrogant vegans think they can invent their own dietary morality and impose it on the rest of us. If there is one thing that the three great monotheistic religions can all agree on, it is that eating meat is morally acceptable. In Judaism, it is even commanded — during the Passover.

The boys were intentionally emasculated by the skools which are filled with lies, etc. Germany was corrupted right after WWI but actually Fichte and Wundt and student Pavlov were working on Mind Control-—to destroy Free Will and agency in little children as early as 1810-—so they can be conditioned (programmed) like Pavlov’s dog-—completely dehumanization with the removal of Reason and Natural Laws (common sense/natural instincts).

Living a Lie is hard for all human beings and that is what Germans have been forced to do for almost a century now.
