'Slaughter porn' animal calendar slammed

Animal rights organisation PETA has condemned a shocking animal slaughter calendar which shows a topless model chopping the head off a pig. In one photo for the calendar, a woman is pictured suggestively bending over a dead pig while chickens peck at the blood-soaked ground. Other images are believed to show lambs being slaughtered and chickens being choked by models.



PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) slammed the calendar, calling it ‘slaughter porn.’ 'Only a sociopath could find sexual excitement from the depiction of horrific and violent acts against frightened living beings,' a spokesman said.

‘Such imagery is likely to get the public to consider that real pigs used for meat are sensitive beings who suffer violent, bloody deaths and who do not want to die.’ Diana Kobzanova, a former Miss Czech Republic, is featured wearing stockings and stilettos swinging an axe at a dead pig.



The 27-year-old model has hit back at accusations the calendar promotes animal cruelty, claiming that all the animals featured are models built specifically for the shoot. She explained the calendar is actually for charity, saying: ‘All the proceeds from the calendar will go to the Helppes Associaton which trains guide dogs for the blind and the physically handicapped.’
