Fischerfest in Rostock: Peta wants vegan sushi, market says no!

Fischerfest in Rostock: Peta wants vegan sushi, market says no!

Rostock, Deutschland - A remarkable offer from the animal welfare organization PETA recently caused excitement in Rostock. PETA offered to donate 500 vegan sushi when the traditional fishing festival renamed Vischerfest and the range of food is switched to purely vegan alternatives. But the offer met with broad rejection.

The Großmarkt Rostock GmbH, led by Inga Knospe, rejected the proposal. Knosppe emphasized that the folk festival was intended for all citizens and that the variety of culinary offers should be reflected. She received support from Julia Kristin Pittasch, the chairman of the FDP/Independent in the Rostock citizens who pointed out the long tradition of the fishing festival. Since 1963, fish and other attractions have been celebrated here, a very clear indication that diversity also means freedom.

The reaction of the citizens

The invitation of PETA to focus on vegan alternatives has called on some residents. A neighbor expressed that vegan food should not be forced, but suggested to integrate a stand with PETAs without exercising. This idea comes up with the consideration of how you can create an inviting atmosphere for everyone despite the lensation opinions.

PETA pursues the goal of preventing fishing with the "Respect fish instead of filleting" and point out the diverse vegan alternatives. These approaches are part of a broader movement. No surprise that Peta, with her shocking way, how she draws attention to the grievances in animal husbandry, also tries in other cities such as Rosenheim to raise awareness of animals, as an action showed in July 2020.

The vegan trend in society

The militant vegan movement has gained dynamics in recent years. More and more groups are actively committed to the exploitation of animals and propagate a vegan lifestyle. These developments are not only supported by activists, but are also part of a global discourse on animal rights. Historically speaking, movements that are committed to the rights of animals have grown greatly since Jeremy Bentham already moved the parallels between animal exploitation and human slavery.

More and more people are interested in a vegan lifestyle, which could also affect the fishing festival in Rostock. The discussion about the diversity of dishes will undoubtedly continue, not least because of the growing number of militants and peaceful animal rights activists in society. The increase in such initiatives could even affect the lifestyle of many people.

While the 60th fishing festival is celebrated at the Schwanenteich from June 20th to 22nd, it remains to be seen how differentiated the food supply will be designed. The opening will take place on Friday at 4 p.m. with a dealer mile and a colorful stage program, the Saturday attracts as a family day with hands -on activities and appearances, including "Rena Die Band" in the evening. On the last day of the festival, a service is on the program, initiated at 11 a.m., followed by music until the afternoon.

The discussion about animal husbandry and nutrition remains exciting and will certainly also influence the preparations for the fishing festival. A respectful exchange between tradition and modern awareness of the animal world can make a valuable contribution to the future of such festivals.

Nordkurier reports that the fishing festival has been celebrated with fish and other attractions since 1963.
