Vegan protesters storm steakhouse, shout at customers

A group of vegans thought they would further their cause by storming a Toronto steakhouse, peppering a hostess with questions and shouting at customers.

Instead, even those on the left are ridiculing their tactics.

Several protesters from a group identified as “Direct Action Everywhere Toronto” by the Huffington Post entered The Keg Mansion steakhouse in Toronto, Canada. Video shows the lead agitator perusing a menu near the entrance of the restaurant.

“So, I’m just wondering, I don’t see any dog meat here,” the protester said to the hostess trying to wait on restaurant patrons. The hostess stood stone-faced, either unamused or not understanding how this would could be so stupid.

“That’s the latest thing. I thought this was a meat restaurant,” the agitator said.

“It’s steak,” the hostess replied.

“It’s steak, but steak is made out of cows. And I see you have chicken which is obviously chicken. And I see you’ve got pigs here but you don’t have dogs here. So I’m wondering why you don’t have dog.”

The hostess shrugged her shoulders, probably wishing she called in sick this night so she didn’t have to deal with this moronic protester.

The woman handed back the menu and said, “Where’s the dog meat? I mean, you’ve got the other meats, I don’t understand it. Are you ever going to have dog meat here? Why not? I want to know!”

In the words of one Reddit user, the “group of assholes” then went to the center of the restaurant and began shouting at the confused customers.

The woman proceeded to rant about Cecil the Lion, a chicken the woman knew “who had a unique personality” (let that sink in for a moment) that likes “corn, watermelon and hugs,” while her comrades walked around with printed signs reading, “It’s not food. It’s violence.”

In between snickers and smirks, the customers appeared to be unmoved by the protesters’ tactics.

Jenny McQueen, one of the protest organizers, tells Vice.com: “We’re trying to cause a little disruption in society. Society normalizes violence against animals, unknowingly a lot of the time. People eat meat, buy meat from the supermarket. They don’t realize what they’re eating or what they’re buying was a thinking and feeling animal. You know, pigs feel pain just like cats and dogs.

Having been the target of animal rights groups, I can tell you they are dangerous. Protect yourselves from them with the full extent of legal force.

I think we need a little social disruption against all forms of liberal violence.

(revised to make more sense)

I would then escort them to the kitchen and announce , “These people said they would rather eat dog meat than your steak.”

Q: “Where’s the dog meat? I mean, you’ve got the other meats, I don’t understand it. Are you ever going to have dog meat here? Why not? I want to know!”

A: Because this is a Steakhouse, not the White House.

If anyone really were to let the enemy take away their firearms, they’d be sheep. Sheep do what they’re told — In between shearings. And sheep eat grass too.

If G-d didn’t want us to eat meat he would have given us flat plant chewing teeth, a ruminant stomach, and teeny tiny little brains.

If everyone in the restaurant would have stood up, formed a human chain and forced out the vegan meanies that would have scared the living crap out of them.

Hold down the biggest, loudest one, and force feed him meat. He’ll love it!

Steak is not made out of cows, it made out of steers.

"I would then escort them to the kitchen and announce , “These people said your steak tastes like dog meat.”"

And tell the cook this is low grade dog food. I've had better food at the ballgame.

I would have loved to have been there, laughing and chewing with my mouth open.

As you prefer.

I also have the same attitude towards deer hunting - I hunt them because they are made of venison...

Quinoa is a good source of protein for vegans and vegetarians (I’m a vegetarian). It’s also a hip and trendy food for the “enlightened”. Someone should ask the protesters about what’s happening to the Peruvian rain forest, animals and the indigenous people due to the rise in popularity of quinoa.

Nothing better than Bacon wrapped beef hot dogs in my opinion!

But yeah, I grew up on a farm and saw everything and have no qualms at all about eating meat.

Some of my friends growing up were the barn cats and if they ate meat, then who am i to question kitty wisdom! :P
