An action by an Edeka branch in Brandenburg is making waves.

The stumbling block is a stuffed dead animal.

Vegans are stunned.

Munich/Hennigsdorf – The topic of nutrition is often hotly debated.

While some people do not want to do without meat, others swear by meatless cuisine.

As the German Vegetarian Association recently stated, around 8 to 9 percent of the population in the Federal Republic eat vegetarian food

(as of October 2022)

.

Some go even further and only eat vegan foods, i.e. neither meat nor animal by-products such as eggs or milk.

In the supermarkets and discounters of the big chains like Edeka, Rewe, Aldi, Lidl or Kaufland there are enough products for all groups.

However, according to a customer, there was now a sales corner in an Edeka branch in Hennigsdorf, Brandenburg, which caught her negative eye.

The Edeka customer had published the case on Instagram, and the images also made waves on Twitter.

Edeka branch places young cattle Anton in the middle of the liverwurst sales corner – vegans are foaming with anger

A Twitter user, who claims to be vegan, posted screenshots of the Instagram post and was stunned: "And just when you think you've seen all the tackiness of animal exploitation, Edeka Henningsdorf comes and places the stuffed body of a victim of the animal exploitation industry in the middle of liver sausage glasses.

Incomprehensible."

The pictures show that the supermarket placed a stuffed or prepared black beef in the middle of a sales corner.

According to the author of the tweet, liverwurst was offered there in a glass.

"Is that disgusting.

A lot of idiots find these stuffed animals 'beautiful'," raged one user.

"Well, I would have hated that even back when I was eating meat myself," said another.

“Well, I expect something like that in the Natural History Museum (or I expect it).

But that's creepy," it said.

Edeka action with dead cattle gets negative reactions – some hope for an educational effect

The fact that the stuffed animal was also given a name tag with the inscription Anton also irritated some Twitter users.

“And even give it a name.

Wtf... how macabre.

I would throw them up in the next aisle," wrote one user.

Another Twitter user criticized Edeka and just said: "We deserve a total boycott!"

But there were also voices that assumed that the Edeka campaign might have a warning effect (from the point of view of vegetarians or vegans).

"Possibly also good as a reminder that there are living beings in these glasses," read one comment.

Or also: "Maybe the shopkeeper wants to achieve exactly the opposite: to become aware that it is such an animal that is being killed and processed." Another user said: "I think it makes sense to see that meat or Sausage is from a living being and does not fall from the sky.

So you can very well see it positively.”

It remained unclear whether the action of the branch had been agreed with the Edeka company management or whether the branch management of the Brandenburg market carried it out independently.

Since Edeka is structured as a cooperative, individual branches can work independently.

"The approximately 3,500 merchants in the Edeka group own their store or stores and enjoy all entrepreneurial freedom," says the company's website.

Meanwhile, a vegan product from Aldi recently raised eyebrows – because of its taste and appearance.
