Death threats follow local vegan’s Facebook post about Vegas shootings

WILKES-BARRE — The Mother Nature Vegan Cuisine food truck is no more and its owner finds herself in the middle of a firestorm for insensitive comments about the people killed in the Las Vegas massacre.
Delinda Jensen, 60, has received death threats after posting this Facebook comment: “Yes I am jaded. Fifty nine meat eaters dead. How many animals will live because of this?”
She then made a comment under the post that said: “I don’t give a (expletive) about carnists anymore.”
Jensen, a former adjunct history professor at Marywood University, said Thursday she is living in fear since her post set off an intense backlash on social media earlier this week.
She is out of business and her bright green food truck is in a secret storage area.
“I (expletive) up,” Jensen said while sitting at her kitchen table with son and business partner, Kyle, 28. “Was it poorly written? Absolutely. Do I regret it? Yes. I am so sorry I wrote that.”
Many Facebook users shared Jensen’s post, which generated hundreds of hate-filled comments and threats and little defense of her stance.
Jensen emphatically insisted she was not happy about the death of 59 people.
“Meat eaters or not, no one deserves to die like that,” Jensen said. “I wasn’t celebrating the death of those people. That’s not how vegans think — we are non-violent.”
In trying to explain her motivation for writing the post, Jensen wanted to make the point that too many animals are tortured and killed every year — she estimated 2o billion-plus — and consumed by humans.

I’m sure she has the bumper sticker...”hate is not a family value”
Uh-huh. Ask that head of lettuce you just chopped up or that tomato you just sliced and diced or that cabbage you just boiled or that artichoke you just roasted what they think of your non-violent ways.
Non-violent my big blue eyes.
Pull carrots out of the ground by their hair. Separate radishes from their families. Put chiles on an open flame until their skin falls off. Evil.
my niece went to Marywood....
Bullcrap. Hitler was a vegitarian. Elevating animals to human status inevitably lowers humans to animal status. It wasn't "poorly written", she just let out how she really thinks outside her cohort of food Nazis.
Dunno. Methinks if that truck ain’t paid for, she’ll need to be selling it. Nobody is gonna want to buy her food.
Maybe it’s a trailer......
I love all things about/with Blue Cheese.
To Vegans, mold is a living organism!
sounds like a code word for Republicans IMO.
Mold IS a living organism, and we eat it alive!
We’re so deplorable ...
I’m sure she has the bumper sticker “hate is not a family value” right next to the coexist bumper sticker.
#PlantLivesMatters
Adolph was a vegetarian and a non-smoker for what that’s worth.
Whereas I would never post death threats I think the fact this guy is scared to death is a Good Thing.
Hopefully he will go into hiding and will never draw a free unafraid breathe again for as long as he lives.
That was the episode where Guy and June were laughing so hard they had to leave the set, leaving poor Jonathan and Billy to try to make it through on their own.
See her picture in post #2, I’ll bet she’s never even HEARD the word “inartful”, let alone know what it means.
Idiot liberals and their own hate filled posts on the internet’s social media sites is smacking them down with their own hate filled words.
From a vile former CBS lawyer to this vegan anti human piece of trash to College professors and idiots in charge and even to some of the mediots.
Ask Meagin Kelly how her career/life has been since she trashed candidate Trump?
Made my day.
Da-n Straight!
Let them all die of old age?
Too many vegetables has made this vegan's brain mush.
