A woman in London Ontario (Canada) has bumper stickers on her car that indicate her vegan choices. These bumper stickers include expressions such as: “If you love animals you don’t eat them.” “Be kind, be vegan.” And “Friends, not food.” One sticker shows a picture of a dog and a cow, asking the question: “Why love one but eat the other?” As a result of these bumper stickers, she has been yelled at, aggressively run off the road, and had meat and other objects thrown at her car. She is worried not only for herself but for her children. Regardless of your own diet and choices, we can likely agree that this is a sad state of affairs. Source
