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 don’t give a (expletive) about carnists anymore.”
Is this like some vegan pseudoword trying to compare meat eaters to racists, sexists, and fascists? Sounds like it.
Vegans make good compost...
Attempting to mask her hate for people in general.
You know, the ones that used to pay her bills.
Idiot.
“Was it poorly written? Absolutely.”

At least she didn’t say “inartful”. What an absolute moron.
Unless, of course, you dare to disagree with our political agenda, muthah-(bleep)ah!
I think my babble fish has gone insane!
Billions of potentially delicious animals are killed every year.
“I don’t give a (expletive) about carnists anymore.”
If there are death threats they’re probably her own.
Most normals I know couldn’t give enough of a rat’s ass to react to these fools.
You can’t fix stupid.
Delinda chose poorly.
I wonder if there’s any connection between aggressive veganism and stupidity.
Hahahahahaha...Of course she's sorry, she's having to put up with the consequences of her free speech, many are getting fed up with her ilk.
These counter-cultural types of 1969, who “had a better idea, more peaceful, and in harmony with nature”, in this case a Vegan really seem to be angry vengeful types. “Godless” in a word.
Not to mention stupid.
Social media — a minefield for idiots. Well, you live and learn, toots.
People who join Facebook mobs on (fill in freakout cause) can't really be called "normals."
why do vegans look so sickly
