facts verse presents a restaurant owner
cooks and eats deer in front of outraged
vegans there is always a hot debate when
it comes to the morality of consuming
animal products according to vegans the
practice is not only not ideal but a
gross violation of animal rights having
been a vegetarian for the last five
years I am of the opinion that everyone
should be allowed to eat what makes them
happy
my sentiments are however not shared by
most of my vegetarian counterparts the
more radical followers of the vegetarian
diet look for every opportunity to
spread the gospel that eating meat is
wrong under the right conditions they
will not shy away from organising
protests to champion their cause in my
opinion such a move not only widens the
rift between vegans and those who eat
animal need but also fuels constant
conflicts among the two groups of people
for instance when confrontations have
emerged between these two groups there
has been a lot of tension and bizarre
scenes as a restaurant owner cooks and
eats a deer in front of outraged vegans
the vegan protests a recent incident in
Canada brought to the spotlight the
ever-growing conflict between these two
diverse groups of people a protest
organized by the vegetarian community
outside a Canadian restaurant called
antler sparked a lot of emotions
according to the vegans the restaurant
which specializes in local seasonal and
wild foods such as boar rabbit and deer
was not fit to be in operation they were
just not going to let the management get
away with it even though the restaurant
had also included a few vegan dishes on
the menu
the protesters felt that it was
violating their rights as vegetarians
people were dining on animals such as
deer that are meant to run free in the
wild the protest seems to have angered
the restaurant chefs the employees
decided to take matters into their own
hands and staged a unique demonstration
of their own the retaliation by the
restaurants chef having had enough of
the constant bickering and noise by the
vegan protesters one of the restaurants
chefs who happened to also be a co-owner
in the enterprise took an entire deer
leg and dismembered it at the
restaurants window
he boldly cut up the leg in full glare
of the crowd of protesters on a table
meant for diners according to Marin Jill
you gar who was one of the organizers of
the protest Michael hunter took a seat
and comfortably ate the dead deer as the
crowd watched on his Facebook page Marin
outlines that the deer was treated like
a joke and deserved better it was a free
animal that did not deserve to die at
the hands of the cool chef this incident
not only shocked the crowd that had
gathered but greatly angered the vegans
who saw it as a slap in the face for
championing a worthy cause it took the
skillful approach of police officers to
calm the situation after the chef
started chopping up the deer head they
had to walk into the restaurant and try
to talk to the chef's to back down their
actions seem to have greatly angered the
crowd making the whole situation very
unpredictable from there on the entire
scenario happened in the full glare of
the media and came as a shocker for the
vegan protesters who could do nothing
but watch antlers restaurant response to
the incident in response to the incident
the owners of the eatery stated that the
incident had tainted the reputation of
their business the owners were quick to
point out that their menu was something
that members of the public were well
aware of and people who came to the
restaurant did it out of their free will
even though the business was engaging in
the selling of meat the owners had also
undertaken severe foraging and farming
initiatives all this was to ensure that
their business was operating in a manner
friendly to the environment the owners
termed the protesters as unfortunate
considering that as a business their
main aim was to ensure they serve
customers with food that they will enjoy
without degrading the environment having
incorporated a few vegetarian dishes to
their menu they felt the protest was not
necessary even though they had
anticipated such an eventuality the
response by the company was not only
very respectful but a sign that we need
to tolerate each other we should all
coexist peacefully
may we be vegans or people who eat
animal products the owners of the
restaurant outlined in their statements
that they were just in the business of
making clients happy and in no way did
they intend to spark such hostile
reactions
a chaotic environment is terrible for
business their address however steered
clear on the actions of the chef who
decided to agitate the vegans by cutting
up a deer leg cooking it and later
eating the meat in their presence
emerging trends the incident is just the
tip of the iceberg on the divide between
vegetarians and people who eat meat
vegetarians have a deep conviction that
eating animals as food is wrong and
cruel the innocent animals are meant to
roam free but human beings are denying
them that chance
restaurant owners who sell this animal
products are now facing the heat of this
conflict with restaurants such as antler
now having to cope with constant
protests as human beings we need to
learn to coexist no matter our
differences vegetarians should respect
the rights of those who love meat in
return
meat lovers should also not engage in
activities meant to agonize the vegan
counterparts for their decision the
protest may be over but the push for a
vegan society is still on according to
the vegetarians in the future they hope
that our community will embrace their
way of life restaurants such as antler
will see sense and start offering an
exclusively vegetarian diet to their
customers it is the best way of
conserving our environment by insuring
animals such as deer and boar are free
to roam the wild without them facing the
risk of ending up under a butcher's
knife subscribe for more
