Yet, there's no brouhaha about the annual slaughter. The Economist, though, did run an article about how the EU's animal-welfare rules may stop Romanians from slaughtering pigs for Christmas in their backyards.
During talks in Brussels last year, the Romanians asked if Christmas pig-killing might enjoy the exemption given to Muslim and Jewish butchers. The commission said no. The directive offers an exemption only for “religious rites”, and Romanian practices are deemed traditional, not ritual.
