The well-known animal rights’ organization PETA has recently demanded that a Bavarian town in Germany stop using donkeys during a religious and folkloric pageant held every year.

The town of Oberammergau in the southern German state of Bavaria organizes an extremely popular and well-regarded annual presentation which is dedicated to the last days of Jesus Christ.

Religious pilgrims come from all over the world to Oberammergau to see the spectacle in person every year.

The man who represents Jesus rides a donkey in the pageant in order to simulate Jesus’ glorious entrance into the city of Jerusalem at Passover time.
