Butcher window display: Public to decide on dead animals
This is how it started...
Quote:
A butcher who stopped displaying dead animals in his window due to complaints they were upsetting children says the public can decide whether the displays should return.
JBS Family Butchers in Sudbury, Suffolk, stopped displaying the carcasses after people threatened to boycott nearby shops.
Some shoppers said the sight of the animals was "disgusting".
The business said it was now asking for people's thoughts on the matter.
Assistant manager Richard Nicholson, 25, said the shop, which is in the Borehamgate shopping centre, had displayed the animals in the window for "years".

A butcher who stopped displays of dead animals in his Suffolk shop window due to complaints is to reinstate them.
JBS Family Butchers in Sudbury stopped showcasing the carcasses of seasonal produce after people threatened to boycott nearby shops.
But butcher John Sawyer, 53, said he had received "overwhelming" support in favour of displaying the produce and it would return at the weekend.
"It's easily avoided if you don't want to see it," he said.
The shop, in the Borehmagate shopping centre, had displayed the dead animals in its window for several years before two letters published in the Suffolk Free Press prompted their removal on Friday.
