Ikea Accused of Condoning Cruelty
Ikea was acused of cruelty towards animals because it sells boloney made from reindeer meat. The militants for the animals` rights claims that the modern methods of hunting causes a lot of physical and psychic stress to the animals and Ikea should eliminate the reindeer meat products from their stores. Ikea sells reindeer boloney in batons of 130 grams with about 2 pounds in its chain of stores. Ikea was asked to withdraw the boloney because of the cruel exploitation of these wild animals by the hunters. The Ikea company answered that it tries to respect the ethical standards.
