Meat-eating men should be banned from having sex, the animal rights group PETA has claimed.
PETA have called on a sex ban for meat-eating men
The organisation's German division has claimed that gorging on sausages and schnitzel is a symptom of "toxic masculinity" and has urged women to go on a sex strike to "save the world".
PETA pointed out that scientific research has revealed that men caused 41 per cent more greenhouse gas emissions than their female counterparts and should have to face the consequences.
Daniel Cox, campaigns team leader for PETA Germany, said: "We all know them, the suburban fathers with beer bottles and barbecue tongs, sizzling sausages on their €700 grill.
"The courgette added by the visitor is eyed with suspicion and only reluctantly tolerated."
He added: "Now there is scientific proof that toxic masculinity also harms the climate. Therefore, a hefty meat tax of 41 per cent for men would be appropriate."
