Police in Bath, England, are reluctant to allow the sale of roast hog in the city center on Sundays for fear of attracting the ire of animal rights activists and non-Christians, reports the Bath Chronicle.
Marie Gibson wants to host a barbeque each week in which a whole pig would be roast on a spit.
But in a letter to the town council objecting to the plan, Sgt. Jan Bebbington of the Bath police said the stall would be inappropriate. Among her many objections were that animal rights folks would complain and that "a hog roast may well offend visitors and residents of particular religious groups."
