Thank you. Thankfully it was a few years ago and I have had no further dealings since (except for one time being stopped at an intersection beside him and blatantly pretending to not notice him). Your "no pun(s) intended" cracked me up.

It's deer rutting season here, and there are deer carcasses by the side of the road everywhere here in the DC suburbs. They come wandering around my neighborhood every night looking for food. If they don't get hit by cars, they starve to death.

More annoying is the, "Oh, but you're missing out on steaaaaaak," bullshit that I get from Christians (it's always, ALWAYS white folk) when I mention I'm Hindu. Like, dude, what? Do you tell Jewish people about the power of bacon and how it compels you, also? Food politics are bizarre.

I found the enjoyment comes from:

Granted, I do live in Portland.

The concept of MYOB has gotten lost becasue people have agendas to justify.

the fact that you think these people are like "mwahahaha this death is delicious I see its fear" says a lot more about you than it does them. I think you need to quit watching so many horror flicks

Are you a vegan? If you aren't I really don't get why you would think humanly killing your own food is creepy. Any meat you eat comes from a defenseless animal you idiot.

I would totally go do this if I had the money. I'm not sure what the side eye is about. If you eat meat, I think it's pretty reasonable to go do this. It doesn't mean you're going to be turned on by killing an animal. It's kind of fucked up in my opinion that so many people eat meat and wear leather sneakers but can't…

Lamb is really, really delicious.

Real story. As a child, I went to the grocery store with my mom once and she saw them carrying lamb and said "I don't know how people can eat that."

How can you tell when someone is a vegan?

I'll sing it again, this article is about someone forcing their opinion on someone else.

This entire article is about someone forcing their beliefs on other people.

Oh hey, I lived with them too! But since I was already vegan they had other stuff to be sanctimonious about (daring to bring non-organic food into the house, making sure I knew cashews were a "sometimes food" due to the food miles and yet they all ate avocado every day). My latent eating disorder came rearing back up…

I've met plenty of non-preachy vegans, I think it's just that the preachy ones are way more visible. (As a long-time vegetarian, I also get preached to.) There's probably some confirmation bias going on there as well — it's always the sanctimonious assholes that stick out in your mind.

I wonder if meat-eaters realize…

Yes, and there are those of us who believe that and yet still don't feel the need to force our beliefs on other people, contenting ourselves with not participating in the system ourselves, while explaining our reasons if asked.

I have not yet met a single vegan that didn't feel the need to preach about the superiority of their lifestyle and/or lecture other people about the inferiority of theirs. Even mine, as a 20+ year vegetarian (it was about ten years ago that I first started encountering them).

It's delicious. Veal too. Chicks though is weird. Hardly any meat on them. I never understood that.

But lamb is delicious. And I know it was killed at some point before ending up on my plate.
