re: Toronto restaurant shocks vegans protesting meat

They were lawfully protesting. He was taunting them and it was unnecessary to do so.

I mean, they are essentially trying to shut down his business.


Taunt away Mr. Hunter.

A sweet, innocent, harmless, leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer. … Imagine you’re a deer. You’re prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water… BAM! A fricking bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a frick what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?

had this for the first time last year. damn, 45 years went by before i had ever heard of this. it's now one of my favorites, but at an average of $15 per bite, it's definitely not something i get to indulge in often.

ETA- got a hundo in my pocket that's telling me to grab some tonight.

GTFOH. You're absurd. Its ok to ruin a guys business but its not ok to fight back. Dumb fricking dummy. You're absurd.

Sounds like the chef is trying to get a date with the dog walking vegan protester. Canadians are weird. Kind of like Californians.

an assortment of animals and is decorated with photos of Hunter and his business partner on foraging expeditions. It all began last December when an employee wrote, “Venison is the new kale,” on a sign. “There was no offence meant,” Mr. Hunter said. “I’m not trying to promote a meat diet. I have a lot of respect for the vegan diet because I know how hard it is.”

The sign caught the attention of Marni Ugar who runs a dog walking business. Ugar's initial protest was peaceful and in time grew larger. The restaurant in return tried to promote its vegan sides but that was not enough and after a while Hunter realized he had to respond.

Following his March display, Hunter said he received an email from Ugar who offered to reduce the frequency of protests in exchange for an animal rights sign to be displayed in the restaurant window. The chef said he now regrets his actions and is working with Ugar on a resolution which includes bolstering the restaurant’s vegan tasting menu and offering to take her and the group on a foraging trip.

That place is probably good as frick. Also, why the frick are the cops in there

The protesters either called the cops or stopped two who were walking their beat. Aside from murder and taunting, they were outraged that the owner was dressing the deer "in a food service area, NOT THE KITCHEN!" They thought the cops were going in there to stop him and seemed disappointed that they were laughing.

I actually feel a little bit bad for these pussies. They're SO upset. They didn't even recognize what kind of animal hind quarter was being cleaned. God help 'em ...

I wish I had been there so I could have told them that I was veterinarian and that it looked like a Great Dane quarter to me.
