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.

When conservatives want to be vegans, they don’t eat any meat. When so called progressives (whackos) want to be vegans, they want EVERYONE to not eat meat.......never works.

Every place setting in a steak house includes a large knife specially designed for cutting thick slabs of flesh. Protest at your own risk if you disturb my meal. “I believed my life was under immediate threat, Officer”.

They always were trying to get him to sell her to them.

I'll remember that the next time I see a lion munching on a gazelle.

These animal rights yahoos never helped a cow deliver, never had to pull the remains of a half eaten by coyote calf out of the mother cow, never had to move a dead cow. They are just as disconnected as the city folk eating the steaks.

If God didn't want us to eat cows, He wouldn't have made them out of beef.....

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

True...the steers weren't too happy with that either....but basically,bovines are bovines and a steak from either male or female is better than tofu.

What about the poor carrots and celery that scream out as they are pulled out of the ground and then sliced and diced.
By the wear short of belt were they wearing to hold up their pants? What kind of shoes were they wearing as well?

Cows eat vegetables so eating steak is being a vegan.

Do you see this shiny sharp object I’m holding to your throat? It’s called a “steak knife”. Everyone in this room has one.

Would you like to call the cops, or would you like me to?

I am a very mild-mannered guy, but it’s people like this that turn me from Dr. Jeckyl to Mr. Hyde.

I’ve seen people harassed at pro-life rallies and at a Sarah Palin rally. I drop everything and heckle them without let-up. They don’t know what to do except walk away faster.

Both of those look pretty good.

Send me 10 boxes of each.
