Unreal scenes in Constanța, where, in the middle of the day, two piglets were slaughtered, burned and then cut up in a park in the city, recently set up by the City Hall. 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.
