Yesterday I read about a demo/protest against meat production that had taken place in Stockholm. To me, it seemed to be a good way to catch people’s attention. Nowadays, you probably need to use shock tactics to make stressed out, apathetic people pay attention, and hopefully, think a little. Then I read a couple of comments about it. Most people were irritated and almost no one (with a few important exceptions) seemed to care. Instead, they seemed to take the whole thing as yet another excuse to hate us vegans.

The word itself seems to be a provocation to many meat eaters (or necrophages as I like to call them). Why is that? If they’re so convinced that what they’re doing is right, why don’t they ignore those of us who don’t eat meat? It’s up to each person to make these decisions.

I’ll admit that I haven’t discussed this topic with that many meat eaters. Unfortunately, almost right away their comments tend to degenerate into personal insults and petty teasing. So I can’t really say what’s causing their spitefulness. I’m guessing they feel guilty over not getting involved in any causes like I do.
