No foul language - i.e. French ๐Ÿคฎ

Obviously satire, dozy wankers

The angry man can be seen confronting the vegan campaigners, who held up screens showing animal slaughter and used the megaphones to get their point across to shoppers.

One man took direct action against the protesters, grabbing a loudhailer from an activist named Ella Wild and breaking it on the ground before walking away.

Ms Wild posted a video of the incident on her Instagram, calling the shopper who retaliated "an angry customer".

Most of the commenters sided with the shopper, with one saying: "Good man glad someone done it".

I don't agree with her methods and I don't believe it's the correct way to get the point across.

Just keep in mind - one side is crying its heart out due to unbelievable cruelty while another side is simply annoyed that someone says something about requesting them to acknowledge the suffering they are causing simply because they want to eat what they want to eat whatever the cost may be because they believe they are entitled for it for some reason unknown to me.

The vast majority of them requires meat at much lower quantities in order to be healthy(saying lower so you won't attack me for saying not at all) but they still choose to consume for many other very selfish reasons.

grand, nobody needs to hear about your cause when they're trying to shop, they aren't all slaughterhouse proprietors (and most of them don't care about eating the same stuff humans have done for hundreds of thousands of years)

I get what vegans are trying to do, I really do, but man are they tone deaf.

Pissing people off is not the way to get your point across, neither is blaring nin their ears with a megaphone.

Having said that, being violent against vegans also does not solve anything. I get the sentiment, but you're onlyaking yourself look like a shit bag in front of the whole world.

Vegans: find better ways

We're still right though

You walk into a shop with a megaphone and start taunting people through it, you deserve what you get, regardless of why you were doing it.

Yep. Don't tell people how to live their lives.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Think I will actually

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

unless you're telling them to live their life without megaphones

Ah yes the holy and sacred temple of the supermarket. Under no circumstance can there be protest here, especially not protesting mass murder and incarceration, because it might hurt the feefees of the most important and precious class: The Consumer.

Respectfully, I disagree. She deserved to be asked to leave. When she refused, she deserved to be arrested for trespassing and probably harassment, too. That guy deserves some charges as well.

Retail workers aren't paid enough to deal with some self important asshole who thinks that screaming at people through a megaphone is their right.

Protest the horrible meat industry by making their lives hell, don't go after the consumer go after the source ffs, but that would mean actually putting in effort to your cause, which these megaphone blasting people don't want to do.

These people are why us non vegans have an issue with vegans, most of you are chill people enjoying your life, but these pricks make you lot look insane and then you defend them because you agree with their message, but while you defend their message, you also defend their actions!

Start holding these people accountable for making the rest of you look bad, I know most of you vegans are good people, you don't deserve to be made to look like idiots.

Agreed, in general. As someone who has worked retail, I'd just ask them to leave once and then call the police. There's no need to mediate this situation.

Yeah, if one were really going to support militant action against the meat industry, it should be way higher up the chain where the decision makers and infrastructure are. There are a lot of bigger consequences to doing that, which is why timid people usually just harass consumers.

Also, I'm not a vegan. I don't advocate for harassing people that don't share my ideology, either. I'm just opposed to vigilante "justice."

Nah. If you're shouting at someone through a megaphone, you don't deserve that level of civility.

Easter lamb? Did Jesus love young sheep as much as he liked chocolate eggs?

It's funny how the attacker has a super fat ass and the vegan is healthily skinny ๐Ÿ˜„ This is so clichรฉ.

Luv lamb. Ate megaphones.

Using a megaphone indoors in a store should considered assault. My child and spouse both have sensitive hearing, if someone was within a couple meters of them and shouted into a megaphone it would instantly reduce my child to tears and cause pain and distress, and my spouse would probably drop anything they were holding from the shock and pain of it.

No-one is gaining the moral high ground there.

Why can't this shit happen where I work? It would add some excitement to my boring job.
