Muslim play sparks outrage in Spain
MADRID, April 20 A play in Spain has provoked outrage following word that its creator calls for a lamb to be slaughtered for each performance.
The Muslim playwright created the scene to depict an Islamic ritual on stage, Britain's Telegraph newspaper reported.
"It is outrageous that an animal should lose its life in this way for the sake of art," said a spokesman at a British animal refuge center. Animal rights activists told police the theater company performing the play was breaking an animal protection law that "prohibits the killing, mistreatment, and causing of harm and stress to animals used in film, TV, artistic and commercial productions."
