Entitled Vegans requests to neighbors!

[FrenchieBoy]

I just came across this little article (From Australia). If it were me that the letter was sent to I would organize a mass barbie/street party in reply to the senders - And invite the sender too!
What would your reactions be if a similar letter were sent to you?

I’d just ignore it

Use the letter to start off the burn for another load of charcoal.

In reality, these stories are to create outrage from a non-existent problem.

 

[foxhunter]

I would have as many barbecues as possible.

Who do these pastey faced morons think they are.

 

[Hook'N'Bullet]

I'd probably just ignore it but I would like to probably hang a carcass in the back garden in full view of their windows while butchering it. Then proceed to organize a BBQ for the neighbors making sure an invite went through their letterbox along with details of species, location shot and outlining the efficacy of hunting and its benefits compared to mass produced/farmed, shop bought meat.....along with a polaroid "grip 'N' grin".

People should mind their business

 

[Dunwaters]

I would respond with a polite hand written letter noting the concerns expressed and promising to give their views careful consideration with a full response in due course.
Then I’d fire up the barbie every single day.

When the wind was blowing the right direction I'd hang cooked bacon on the washing line.
Idiots....

Maybe scorch some horsehair to the wind, & let them think you were blowtorching a sow.

Many years ago I worked on a feed trial pig farm for Dalgetty feeds. We had a small incinerator for disposing of piglet casualties but occasionally there'd be dead sows to deal with. We had one on a hot summer day, nothing suspicious, just a heart attack, but we had to dispose of it quick because of the heat. It wouldn't fit into the incinerator whole so there was no option but to cut it up, which we did outside next to the incinerator. Next door, in full view, was a private prep school and we were seen by some of the kids from a window "murdering" a pig and cutting it up with a saw.
There was consternation at the school so to show we weren't random pig killers we had a special open day for the pupils to visit the farm and learn what we did, including why animals sometimes die and why they had to be dealt with. This went down very well with teachers and kids and we were told led to interesting lessons about farming and food production.
That was in the early 1990's. It's hard to think of such a commonsense outcome to a similar incident today.

The level of conceit and entitlement in the letter by the vegans, is breath taking. Clearly they inhabit a higher moral plane than us mere mortals!

 

[Basil H]

Some veggies do bother about food choice and moral philosophy. Some have even been "converted" to wild food. I think I would start by trying to discuss their life style choices and mine and maybe find some middle ground, rather than behaving in a boorish manner.

Good luck with that then....

I won't slide off into anecdotes, Mr Dog, but one of my ex-sixth form students back in the day underwent the full conversion. The point is that you try to influence people, whatever the area, by being reasonable. We have (and have had) family members who were degrees of anti but you don't get anywhere by rowing. See the "woke" thread.
Men who have only ate plastic clad meat also get a misty eyed when you lay some walnut and blued steel in their lap.

 

[User00053]

Would just carry on as normal, if it became verbal my reaction would be if you do not like you know what you can do‍

 

[VSS]

Well for a start I doubt it really happened. Just click bait.
But if it did, well I guess it's no different to a neighbour politely requesting that you don't smoke directly beneath their window, or that you try to curb your dog's incessant barking.
No big deal, and if you're a reasonable kind of neighbour then you try to come to some sort of compromise.
Next time, the boot might be on the other foot.

In fairness, I would be miffed if there were meat smells coming from a neighbour's house. Liver and onions, bacon and a steak sizzling! That would send me wild and want to rush around and eat it for them. Inconsiderate people!

That's proper food (and you've reminded me to home-cure some more bacon. Thanks). But I must admit the waft of cheap and nasty bargain brand burgers being incinerated on someone's drunken Sunday afternoon BBQ is not quite as mouth-watering.

I wouldn't really hang bacon out, it's far to expensive and tasty for that.
I'd probably just start chuckling to myself.
Being reasonable with people I'm all for.
It's just that certain groups...I'm not seeing any reasonable reason to try with. So I'm best just politely saying nothing and walk away from.
After all, you can't drive a nail in a knot can you....

I was once eating a packet of biltongue on a train. Vegan opposite got upset. Oh dear. I ate my biltongue.

Admittedly living in a city in the summer it is rather irritating when neighbours have wood fired pizza ovens or bbqs going and smoke gets everywhere with the smell of cheap burnt burgers.

Solution is to invite yourself taking a couple of haunches of venison and show how to cook them properly.

A while back some of the boys at work decided to have a bbq at my place. As several of them are of the muslim faith they said they would bring the burgers. Much beer was drunk and the Burgers fresh off the bbq were very tasty. Next morning I cleaned up the carnage from the night before. There were about half a dozen burgers left that had gone cold. The dog will like those think I. Fed one to the dog, a dog who will eat any crap. The dog gives the burger a couple of chews a spits it out with a look of WTF is that. Cold these burgers were tougher than a leather sole. Over the course of a couple of days the dogs did finish them off. They were tougher than any dog chew that can be bought from the shop.
