New vet clinic celebrates opening with roast pig cutting ceremony

What a contrast.
A place where animals come to be cured and treated, celebrates its opening with the death and serving of two healthy animals.
The opening of the new vet clinic at the City University of Hong Kong, was celebrated with a traditional roast pig cutting ceremony.  Such a ceremony is “regarded as a traditional ritual in Hong Kong when a new building has been completed” issued the University in a press release.

The event sparked critical feedback from animal rights activists, as the photo went viral over social media.
The City University of Hong Kong has urged all departments to stop traditional roast pig-cutting ceremonies at special events after the criticism.

I also hope they will not be serving animals in the vet clinic’s cafetaria.
