...nobody is applauding the butcher of dogs. Talk about disingenuous.
Since when is it okay to insult people like this on here?

Are you serious? That's highly subjective. For many people, climate change, womens rights, the rights of minorities etc. doesn't merit protests either. The Person you replied to has made a valid point. Telling vegans to just let others live doesn't work if they think that what those others are doing is bad. Minding your own business doesn't always work when talking about morality/ethics.
I have no problems with vegans, vegetarians and the like
but damnnnn, that's some proper trolling.

They die, and if any animals are around they become food.
Same with the deer!
Predatory animals have much crueller ways of making a kill. For every animal that gets swallowed whole, they don't actually die until they are burnt by acid of the digestive enzymes of the stomach. Many animals, if hungry enough, will tear apart and start EATING an animal while it's still alive and screaming. I've seen my fair amount of nature documentaries, to see it happen to zebras etc. enough times by hyenas/lions. If the deer didn't get shot, there is still a chance that a cougar/bear might have killed it in a similar fashion. I like to think that predators mercy kill an animal before consumption, but that's just not always the case :/
Nature itself can be a very mean thing.
The question was regarding torture, not whether or not they will die from a fatal wound. There are humane ways to die and horrible ways to die.
I work in wildlife, I agree with everything you said. But I don't think we're doing them any favors by killing them our own way. We should just leave them the fuck alone.
Under no definition is foie gras "humane."
If you like it because of the taste, cool. But trying to defend it as "humane" is like claiming that Donald Trump is an avowed liberal.
You're equating protesting in general with protesting one butcher, all protests aren't made equal, protesting against the meat industry is one thing, antagonizing a single butcher (because there were more butchers in the area but they still targeted him specifically) in his business is being a dick.

Nah, not with deer. Leaving them alone is bad for everyone. Fucking Bambi set us back 100 years.
Is it though? We could get rid of it if we wanted. Meat would get more expensive and people would have to cut down on their consumption. But factory farming is definitely not neccessary. It's just that most don't give enough of a fuck about animals to make changes to their diet. At least be honest about it.
Going to go see the Jays this weekend. I think i'll go there too, I love venison.
How can you work in wildlife and think leaving deer alone is good?
What about so-called "humane" foie gras do you see as problematic?
TorontoERA meetup coming soon? Some inside eating, some outside protesting.
As long as we re-introduce their natural predators, why not?
Oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
If meat gets more expensive and people would have to cut down on their consumption, what's the point? Millions of people need to be fed cheaply. Those people grow up and become scientists that stop the need for factory farming, which helps animals more than any ethical consumption ever could.
Kinda feels like the people involved handled in a more mature manner than we are tbh

If any of you guys actually end up going to the restaurant, please share your experience with us.
Also, tell the chef that he is a hero and that we love him.
Thank you.

Uh is there really a reason to protest this guy? If they're just harassing him then good on him.
I have no idea what you even want to say. The point is to reduce animal suffering and environmental impacts of our diet. People would eat less meat and more other stuff. Like millions of people already do. What does your last sentence even mean? That they wouldn't grow up to be scientists if they don't eat meat every day?
There's nothing mature in boycotting a small business though.
I think a boycott is absolutely fine. Weekly shouts of "murderer" in front of your business though...
