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.

That’s the way I read it at first glance.

Supply and demand. It’s not just a good idea - its the law! (My daughter is vegetarian and likes it too. I’ll eat it.)

If they had dog on the menu, Obama would be a regular there.

Those two were legit, unlike the vegan freaks.

After all, they were on a mission from God.

[ I was there in 1978-79 and 1981-82 and only saw dog once at a butcher shop. ]

You were in South Korea, in glorious North Korea they eat dogs, not because they can but because that is the only thing LEFT to eat in that socialist hellhole/paradise.

I doubt if there are enough dogs left in the DPRK to feed a small family for a week. People there eat tree bark and grass.

:: 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 ::

THIS...right here...is the proper conservative response. George III would have soiled his breetches.

For what it’s worth — My inelegant “Chewbarkah” screenname refers simultaneously to the youthful dog meat-eating of our dear President Soebarkah, the wookieness of his consort, and the fact that hearing Barack yapping like a little dog made me want to chew the bark off the nearest tree.

Are you ever going to have dog meat here? Why not? I want to know!”

Ummmmm....because dogs are pets and cows are food?

That’s right He didn’t give us canines for chewing vegetables.

Having a bigger brain and binocular vision means you are by default a hunter!

These libs should go join the lowland gorillas if they wanna live their backwards lifestyle and ignore nature.

Funny how these people think that we god believing folk are scientific idiots when they themselves deny their own HUMAN god given nature!

And stand back as a bunch of angry guys with meat-cleavers “communicate” their displeasure with the PETA brain-dead.

Was there any doubt?

Hitting is apolitical.
