lol
Obviously not getting enough protein or she would have been able to hold onto it.
I’m convinced just stop oil and wankers like these vegan fucks are a psyop by big companies to turn people against their causes.
Especially just stop oil. Protest and fuck with oil companies? Na, let’s block the road for normal people and be a nuisance. That will surely help our cause!
If they were protesting outsideca shop on public land, then that is probably legal.
But surely by protesting inside the shop on private property and by deliberately obstructing shoppers access to products on the shelves, they’ve broken the law and should be subject to arrest?
(Yet the in store security only seemed interested in stopping the guy that smashed the megaphone!?!)
I don’t get what people want. This is the least controversial way of staging a protest – nobody’s being harmed, there’s no destruction or damaging of property. It’s literally just visibly making their point. And the comments on the article are still all about how they’re turning the public against their cause by being wankers.
I’m no vegan at all, I eat meat like it’s going out of fashion, but I genuinely think people who are so wound up by vegans that they condone violence against harmless protests like this are displaying insecurity.
Why does no one hate Sea Shepherds? Because they don’t do shit like this. They do action where it matters.
Same as the other commentator, I’m vegetarian, but standing in a store berating people for their choices is idiotic.
That said, it is for the store and police to resolve, not angry men.
Say what you like about vegans, but I’m pretty sure that’s assault. You could disagree with her groups message and actions in plenty of other ways, but violence is never the answer.
I love meat and I eat meat most days, however, should most people?
The most effective promotion of vegetarianism or veganism would just be to ask people if they could kill a lamb, a chicken or any animal which they eat.
Living on a farm this is nothing new to me. I have pulled the intestines out of many an animal and drained the blood, plucked the feathers etc… As someone who eats meat it is my duty to eat all of the animal, including the liver, heart, lungs… We use the intestines for sausages…
My opinion is that if you couldn’t kill it, perhaps you shouldn’t eat it. Every piece of meat involved the death of a once living creature. This shouldnt be taken lightly.
Quite frankly people that only eat chicken breast, refuse to eat offal and pick only the choisest cuts of meat are worse than vegans. At least vegetarians and vegans, especially those who have made the choice later in life, understand what they are not capable of and live their life with integrity.
Most people that eat meat need to take a look at themselves and ask themselves these uncomfortable questions.
People didn’t like suffragettes either back in the day, for mostly the same reasons. They were still right though.
Women got the vote after a world war made their point, and after time meant their ideas had percolated. Not sure we need another world war…
Whatever my views on veganism, that bloke in the red is a prick.
I am all for freedoms of speech. I have been on a few protests myself but when you start to interfere with the freedoms and rights of people going about their daily business then you lose all respect for your message.
I’m with the customers on this one.
Having watched the video I’m intrigued by them arguing with staff, claiming “we have a right to be here”. Surely, if it’s private property, they don’t?
Also the guy in the red t-shirt squaring up to the guy who smashed the megaphone is an idiot unless his goal was to get himself punched for “exposure”
I honestly don’t understand why people let these things get into their head. I don’t like these vegan activists but I would never be this confrontational about it. I would probably walk by with lamb in my trolly and smile on my face. Life is short, better to be an asshole and trigger others than get triggered by assholes.
always find it odd how these so called hard men only ever seem to tackle the easy targets.
I wouldn’t be using a megaphone in a shop, or protesting at all really, but I can guarantee this fellow wouldn’t be coming for me.
I mean.. why was she harassing people trying to buy food?
Veganism is not panacea. If the entire world went vegan tomorrow we would screw the planet up even quicker than we are now.
Let people eat what they want.
Not sure why the supermarket hadn’t chucked her out. It’s private property at the end of the day.
I hate megaphones anywhere near my left ear. No matter the message, I would definitely react.
Even if it was whatever angel blowing the 7th Trumpet, I would rudely interrupt
Selective outrage.
People kill a swan – outrage.
People eat dogs – outrage.
Seaworld – outrage.
Hundreds of thousands of lambs are slaughtered ready for easter – attack the protestors.
I guess they hit a nerve. If you’re secure in yourself about your decision this wouldn’t bother you.
You can tell they are vegan by how weak of piss they look.
Well that man should be congratulated. Do these vegan fools really think that they could go and disrupt a supermarket’s trade and their shoppers without facing consequences?
Nobody cares if you want to be vegan, but don’t behave like a cult.
If farmers didn’t have them where do these people think the animals would live? Just wandering freely in city centres? If it wasn’t for farmers most of these breeds would be extinct.
His about “annoying vegan activists annoys the fuck out of everyone pushing their own views onto them while they quietly shop and gets the consequences of their actions” FAFO
Can’t help but wonder why the shop didn’t just remove her.
Completely support her right to protest, but also if your protest involves winding people up then she can hardly be surprised if someone responds in the way he did.
Silly arse.
It would have upset them more to go “excuse me” and reach around them to get a pack of mince from the fridge. Render them irrelevant.
You make your food choices, I’ll make mine.
Yes, they are annoying. But bear in mind that animals are mistreated and abused by farmers and slaughterhouse workers every hour of the day.
Vegans are the Jehovists of the diets. The most annoying of all.
