Protest Against Egged's Apartheid Policy

The Israeli Federation for Animal Rights last week organized protests against the Apartheid policy of the national bus company Egged.

In an Arab village close to the Lebanon border goats and a dog occupied the local bus station where they demanded entrance to the Egged busses.


Egged now mulls the establishment of so called "intercreative lines" based on an ancient concept taken from the book of Bereshit.

In the new concept, dubbed "Noah", the front part of the busses will be Haredim only, the middle part will be for other Israeli's and the back part for all other creatures.

PETA however has already reacted against the proposed solution, pointing out the negative connotation of sitting in the back of the bus. Instead, they suggest that the dogs be given window seats.
