The sausages, which are 25cm long and cost £3.50 (US$9) each in the delicatessen, have come under fire from locals in Sandwich who say the animals used to make them may have suffered hardship and cruelty by being transported thousands of kilometres across Europe prior to slaughter.
The charity The Donkey Sanctuary has urged delicatessen owner Dominique evet to stop selling the sausages, but Levet said the sausages are a quite normal food in his native France and do not cause offence there.
