The chef and co-owner of a Toronto restaurant named “Antler” has shown the world a new way to deal with vegan protesters. After days of being bothered by strict vegetarians hanging around outside his establishment, he brought part of a deer carcass to the front window and carved it in front of them.
A Toronto based site called blogTO reported:
Toronto restaurant shocks vegans protesting meatAnimal rights activists were horrified this weekend when the co-owner of a Dundas West restaurant they’d been protesting for weeks staged what appeared to be a counter-protest of his own.
The restaurant in question, Antler, is known for serving “local seasonal and wild foods” that are native to Canada, such as bison, boar, rabbit, duck and deer.
They also serve foie gras, which has long been condemned as especially cruel in terms of animal welfare.
A group of local activists had arranged a protest in front of the restaurant on Friday evening, writing on Facebook that it would be their fourth of such protests outside Antler…
About an hour into their demonstration, protesters say that the restaurant’s co-owner and chef, Michael Hunter, “brought out an entire animal leg and started cutting it up right in the window on a table reserved for diners.”
Event organizer Marni Jill Ugar wrote later that night on Facebook that she felt Hunter had been “taunting” the group by cutting up a deer leg right in front of them.
“Once the deer was cooked Michael Hunter, owner of Antler, sat back down at the window to eat the dead deer,” she wrote.
The report says police showed up and went inside the restaurant to find out what was going on but left smiling. If that’s not a happy ending, I don’t know what is.

As you can probably imagine, this garnered some great responses on Twitter:

Everything about this makes me to eat here now. I would like to personally thank the protesters for advertising this establishment. I did not know a place like this existed. I also hope those nice police officers had a good lunch. ???? https://t.co/y4WiVvjCq2

Reminds me somewhat of a place we went to in Quebec City last year, Chez Boulay-bistro boréal.
Loved the food in QC, and encountered none of the hostility towards English-speakers you hear about from people visiting Montreal. The people in QC were almost invariably warm and friendly, very “real”. I liked the town a lot.
“People have a right to eat meat and its none of other people’s business if they do.”
My best friend is a strict Vegan. It doesn’t bother him at all that I eat meat. At least he never says anything about it.
It’s so worth it to watch the short video.
One of the protesters says, (paraphrase but really close,) “Look! He’s butchering the leg of that murdered deer! Is that even legal?”
The protesters called the cops on him for carving meat in his restaurant and “taunting” them? Golly liberals are dumb. Like that Hogg kid who wants to violate our constitutional rights, but breathlessly claims the school mandating clear backpacks violates his.
There I always room for God’s animals....right next to the mash potatoes
The reaction to liberal insanity is gaining steam ...
These protesters have given the Antler some great free publicity. Chef Hunter probably would like them to keep coming back.
And the vegans had all their righteous anger ready to go.....cut down by meat
BWAHAHAHAHA
I think the more significant part was the cops showing up because of it rather than the dispatcher just hanging up on them.
Very nice of you to not use, Mike! ;^}
Beauty, eh?
For really fun times, they should have been around to see me help a neighbor quarter up a big buck that he shot from his front porch.
Amen to that, brother. That's why now that I have the resources, I pay someone else to do it. Of course as I get more resources, I plan on building my own processing kitchen with commercial grade saws, slicers, and grinders...all so I can have "fun" butchering my own meat again. Go figure...
Nom nom, venison ... I’m jealous.
