Netherlands city passes the first ban on meat ads: The Dutch city of Haarlem has passed a motion banning meat ads in public spaces — the first such ban ever, the BBC reports. The motion was initially put forth by the green GroenLinks Party. Naturally, the meat industry was incensed, calling the decision an infringement upon freedom of speech and entrepreneurial freedom.

Dutch cities have had a few such firsts: Amsterdam and The Hague have already banned adverts for the aviation and fossil fuel industries.
