PETA calls for renaming the fishing festival - Rostock remains with diversity!

Schwanenteich, Rostock, Deutschland - The 60th birthday of the fishing festival in Rostock is approaching, and preparations are in full swing. From June 20th to 22nd, the festival will be celebrated at the Schwanenteich, with a colorful mix of fish dishes and attractive framework programs. The opening will take place on Friday at 4 p.m. with a dealer mile and a stage program. Saturday is all about the family, with a cake bazaar and a appearance of "Rena Die Band". The last day of the festival begins with a service and offers music and entertainment for young and old until 4 p.m.

Now, however, an action by the PETA animal protection association takes attention. The organization has offered to donate 500 vegan sushi, on the condition that the fishing festival renamed "Vischerfest" and the entire range of dishes will be changed to vegan. This demand met with clear rejection at Großmarkt Rostock GmbH. Boss Inga Knospe underlined that the festival should be a place of diversity that takes all tastes into account. She received support from Julia Kristin Pittasch, the chairman of the FDP/independent in the Rostock citizens, the emphasized that the tradition of the fishing festival that has been celebrated since 1963 must be preserved.

prejudices and discussions

viewed in a broader context, a recent study by the organization shows the potential of a vegan agricultural system. It suggests that the complete exit from livestock farming would be necessary to reduce global warming and protect biodiversity. The research, led by Prof. Jan Winsam from HTW Berlin, concludes that a vegan ecoland building could not only reduce CO₂ emissions by at least 113 million tons annually, but also has to bring many advantages through more efficient use of natural resources vegconomist.de.

consequences for society

A vegan Germany could fundamentally restructure agriculture and reduce the dependence on animal products. The food market would increasingly focus on herbal alternatives, which would benefit not only the environment, but also the health of the population. However, experts warn of the challenges of such a changeover, such as the increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency in vegan nutrition, which can only be covered by nutrient preparations [nationalgeographic.de] (https://www.nationalgeographic.de/umwelt/2025/veeganes-deutschland-das-passier-wenn-wir-kein-wiren-biet-ehre- more

The questions about the future orientation of the fishing festival and the general diet in Germany will continue to move the mind. In Rostock it is clear that the fishing festival should remain a festival for everyone, even if the discussion about vegan alternatives can no longer be ignored. It remains to be seen how these developments will affect festive traditions. In any case, it turns out that in our modern society there should be space for all views to live a real coexistence. That is what the fishing festival is ultimately.
