Vegans bully California butcher shop into hanging animal rights sign

More fascism from the Peoples Republic of Berkley.

 

Vegan extremists have bullied a mom-and-pop butcher shop in California’s most liberal city into hanging an animal rights sign in the window that the shop owners say amounts to “ethical extortion.”

The Local Butcher Shop, of Berkeley, had been targeted for months by nearly naked protesters dripping in fake blood. The protests had been organized by the vegan group Direct Action Everywhere, or DXE, which said they would continue if the shop’s owners, Monica and Aaron Rocchino, didn’t cave in to their demands.

“To be threatened and forced to abide by their beliefs just makes me sad,” Monica Rocchino told The Guardian Wednesday. “Their tactics are really extremist … This is ethical extortion.”

The paper quoted Matt Johnson, a Direct Action Everywhere organizer, as saying that he and his group challenge places that market their businesses as humane to animals.

“People are paying a lot more for these dead animals,” he told the paper. “They have some notion that these animals are being treated well.”

The group contends that there is no ethical way to kill animals for food and are campaigning to make Berkeley the first “city free of violence toward animals,” meaning banning the sale of meat, The Guardian reported.

“I don’t understand why activists would pick on a mom-and-pop shop supporting the most humane farmers, rather than the animal factories and meatpackers responsible for brutality on an unimaginably greater scale,” said Michael Pollan, the well-known American food writer and a University of California, Berkeley professor, in an email. “Unless you believe the complete abolition of meat-eating is a realistic goal, attacking this sector of the animal economy … strikes me as misguided.”

There is a McDonald’s a few blocks away, he added.

 

Hmmmm

Pretty much.

 

Anyone they think can get away with bullying, they'll give it the good ol' try.

While initially I feel anger towards the Vegan protestors, in the end I just end up feeling sad.

 

They don't get to eat bacon, steak, salami, proscuitto, salmon, tuna, duck, rabbit....

 

I would be really bitter and pissed off if I were them also. If I had to eat "fake meat" all the time, I'd go crazy.
