Wakker Dier has filed an injunction against NS regarding a rejected advertising campaign. The animal rights organization wanted to hang posters at stations featuring a cow, a pig, a chicken, and the question: "Shall we not eat 650,000 animals for a day?" With this, Wakker Dier is drawing attention to its annual initiative, Eat No Animals Day. However, NS Stations refuses to display the appeal.
Wakker Dier has won its battle against NS Stations. The railway company refused to display a campaign against meat consumption at stations because the message could lead to public debate. The judge has now overturned that decision. NS must withdraw the refusal within 24 hours and hang up the posters after all, reports AD. If the company fails to do so, a penalty of 25,000 euros per day will follow.
Wakker Dier posters must be visible on advertising boards at stations. NS Stations refused this, whereupon the animal rights organization took the matter to court. On Wednesday, the court ruled in favor of Wakker Dier in summary proceedings.
The court has ordered NS to allow Wakker Dier posters on advertising boards at stations. NS refused the campaign for Animal Day because the posters were deemed ‘too controversial’. Wakker Dier subsequently took the matter to court and has now been vindicated. If NS does not display the posters, a penalty payment will follow.
Wakker Dier has gone to court because NS refused a campaign poster for ‘Eat No Animals Day’. On the poster, the animal welfare organization calls on people to refrain from eating animals for one day on October 4. According to Wakker Dier, the poster was refused because the message was deemed too controversial.
