And to complete the picture, the two piglets were brought to the "operation" site by a patient transport van with IL numbers. Unfortunately, it seems that the two "patient" piglets did not survive. > > >A group of at least 5 people acted to fulfill the age-old customs and traditions of slaughtering pigs on the eve of Christmas holidays. Equipped with a kettle, a burner, water bowls, everything needed for a successful Igant, they slaughtered, burnt and butchered the two piglets without anyone disturbing them. > > >The incident took place in the Constanta district of Km 4-5, Progresului street, right in the new park set up by the Constanta City Hall two weeks ago near the fence of the military unit. > > Ignat is the (Orthodox) Christian Holiday associated with slaughtering pigs. It's also known as "pig's giveaway" (alms) because parts of the pig carcass are shared with participants and neighbors. > > Translated with DeepL.com
