17 Horrible Encounters With Vegans

9.

We had a neighbor’s friend over for dinner one night (Vegan of course). The conversation got turned to Kobe beef, (you know the beef that is massaged and feed beer and ice cream) and right in the middle of the conversation she blurted out, “those animals are tortured!”. Let’s just say she was a very arrogant stupid lady.

I picked up my buddy to get some lunch from his college campus. I was wearing a PETA shirt (People for the Eating of Tasty Animals). As I was walking to meet him I hear over my shoulder “do you have any idea what the F*CK you are saying” as I turn around I see about 15 girls and the biggest one had to weigh 110 lbs. I use to be a Bar Bouncer, I’ve taken on Bikers, College Bros, and Marines but these 15 little girls somehow scared me sh*tless. I was taken back and realized what I was wearing and there happened to be some kind of animal rights rally at the college. Thankfully campus security was close by and I dodged 15 bullets. When I met up with my buddy I turned my shirt inside out and got the hell out of Dodge.

I have a very alternative, kinda pretentious vegan friend who is very strict and “moral” in his food choices down to looking for vegan chips/crisps and beer and definitely not eating eggs because the industry is so terrible and what not… however, when you talk to him about his choices he wouldn’t flinch an eye at killing and eating fish or insects or other “lower” beings because allegedly “they can’t feel pain”. Personally I always found this drawing-a-line-here to be incredibly hypocritical because either you value life or you don’t. Just because you think a fish doesn’t have an evolved-enough nerve system to “feel pain” doesn’t make it OK to kill them.
