Early Learning Centre - removing a pig?!

[mummy2jack]

I am sorry if anyone may find this offensive but removing a toy pig from a toy farm because its offensive is just crazy

 

[mizzk]

Why would the toy pig be offensive!? Do they state a reason?

 

[dizzyisacow]

who, what, when, why, how??

 

[mummy2jack]

A woman complained to elc cos the pig was missing from the farm. She was told it had been removed because it is offensive to muslims. I could not believe my ears

 

[dizzyisacow]

Yeah was on This Morning today.
They said it was done as they sell the farm sets all over the world and the feedback they had was that a lot of people didn't want a pig in the set.
But after the complaints of taking it out, they are now putting the pig back in the farm set
Sounds silly to me but at least they have changed their mind

What about the Hindus? Why aren't the cows being removed?

As a veggie I am offended that there are any animals at all in it!

The world has gone mad

I actually laughed out loud when I read this in the paper this morning because it is so utterly ridiculous. It is just political correctness gone mad! I have no idea what the world is coming to nowadays xx
