Chef carved raw deer leg in front of vegans
The vegans planned their protest for the middle of the restaurant’s busy dinnertime shift.
The group of animal rights activists were incensed that Antler Kitchen & Bar, a locavore restaurant in Toronto that says it highlights regional ingredients, served foie gras and farmed meat “meant to run in the wild.” So a group of them stood in front last week chanting “you’ve got blood on your hands,” and holding a banner that read MURDER in hot pink lettering.
Then came the counterprotest.
Michael Hunter, a chef and co-owner of the restaurant appeared in its window with a raw deer leg and a sharp knife, when he began to carve up the meat in full view of the protesters, some of whom later said they were disturbed for days, according to news reports.
“I figured, I’ll show them,” Hunter told the Globe and Mail. “I’m going to have my own protest.”

Video shows him cutting up the leg, slicing the red meat away from the bone, as protesters decry the “recently murdered deer,” and ask police at the protest if what the chef is doing is legal. At one point, the officers enter the restaurant to talk to Hunter.

should too...it's unprofessional and he's the business owner with potentially much more on the line.
The zealots hurt the cause that they are zealoting for. And yes that's a word. 
and the environment? 
days I tell you.
as would a Mediterranean restaurant chef slicing bits from the gyros on the spit.
The show is part of the dining experience.
it would be a better Earth...especially cutting down on cow consumption.
I can't even fathom eating raw organs...but next time I want to gorge on chocolate I'll think of this post and I bet that will help curb it. 
I do not like corporate animal production and do all I can to only eat animal flesh that I kill or I know where it comes from. Preferably local.
And notice I do not use euphemisms like harvest. I know exactly what I am doing.
I just believe that is part of being human.
I also realize we are both coming from places of extreme privilege...
I can afford to eat really expensive fucking meat, and you(if vegan) have the time and money to research and sustain your lifestyle.
If we were an immigrant living in poverty wages, we would eat whatever we can get.
Have a nice evening.
Seems to have worked.
Awwwww.... poor widdle vegans are upset because dey were "taunted" 
What started as a simple protest in downtown Toronto is becoming an international news story this week as more and more people learn of the chef who cut up a deer leg in front of some angry vegans.
Michel Hunter, who co-owns Antler on Dundas West, has become an internet hero of sorts since we first published a story about his bold counter-protest on Monday.
While some have decried the chef for "taunting" vegans, the vast majority of readers have been praising his peaceful, yet impactful method of fighting back against a group of animal rights activists who'd been haranguing Antler's customers for months.

You don't have to, the vegan will be telling everybody.
These people are out of their fucking minds.
No one who isn't involved in their beliefs should have to tolerate this kind of shit.
