An unhinged man with a hunting knife went to a grocery store and decimated their supply of red meat, with the intent of battling female weight gain. I’m a little late with this one, but it’s funny. Also, I wanted to question an assumption about this anti-beef crusader that I feel some anti-vegetarians are manipulating to paint principled animal lovers in a bad light. 

I know that it sort of sounds like this guy read Skinny Bitch one too many times. And I guess that’s possible. But even though the AP assumes this was done in the name of vegetarianism, I’m not convinced.

Most veg*ans would be too grossed out to get near all that meat in the first place. The fact that he was able to stab processed bloody cow corpses without puking makes me think he had the steely stomach of an omnivore.

And then he had anti-red-meat tunnel vision, which makes no sense from a save-the-animals perspective. If he really wanted to reduce suffering, he would have stabbed chicken breasts; any ethical eater knows that chickens have it worse than cows do.

Nor would he have stopped at meat. He would have destroyed eggs, milk, and honey jars too.

Plus, vegetarians know how important supply and demand is in the fight for animal dignity. By destroying all that meat, which will just be replaced by raising and killing more cows, he might as well have eaten all those animal corpses himself. Appropriate that his weapon of choice was a hunting knife.

Also, he claimed to be a messenger from God. Real animal advocates are atheist.

I’m guessing this guy is in jail right now, eating some “vegetarian” fish as God smiles down on him.
