Swedish city to dump metric ton of chicken manure in park to discourage festival gathering
[FoxNews] A city in Sweden plans on spreading 2,000 pounds of chicken manure to deter festival crowds descending on the area Thursday amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Tens of thousands of people typically travel to the Swedish city of Lund in celebration of Walpurgis Night, a festival that also sees parties and bonfires scattered across Europe. Officials believe the smell of manure will help detract people from the gathering, which is classified as "spontaneous," so it can't be banned by authorities.

“Lund could very well become an epicenter for the spread of the coronavirus on the last night in April, [so] I think it was a good initiative,” the chairman of the local council’s environment committee, Gustav Lundblad, told the Sydsvenskan newspaper, according to the Guardian.

While there is no official lockdown in Sweden, officials throughout the country have warned people to stay away from the yearly tradition in order to limit the potential spread of the virus. Lundblad said the chicken manure in Lund will have an added benefit, allowing the city to fertilize their lawns.
