So this is the face of "ethical veganism"?

Oh dear. I really don't think these people are doing veganism or animal rights activism any favours.
Quote:Arson, Cracked Testicles, and Internet Death Threats: How Animal Rights Extremists Are Learning From the People Who Murdered George Tiller
Jordan Heller 1/16/13 4:30pm
"We will...strap you into a monkey restraining device and use industrial pliers to crack your testicles like walnuts." That was the simple message that medical researcher Dr. Donal O'Leary received in October 2011.
The note, which threatened to kidnap O'Leary and went on to reference myriad tortures including dismemberment, disembowelment, Drano and napalm, was published on Negotiation Is Over (NIO), a website that acts as a one-stop shop for animal rights extremists looking to gather intelligence on potential targets. In addition to labeling O'Leary—a professor at Detroit's Wayne State University whose studies on congestive heart failure involve experiments on rodents and occasionally dogs—a sadistic animal torturer, it published his photo and home address.
In an email to O'Leary alerting him of the post, Camille Marino, who until last month ran NIO out of her home in Wildwood, Fla., told the professor that some of her "associates" would be paying him a visit to take pictures of his home.
"Then you can join ‘NIO's most wanted,'" she wrote. "I hope you die a slow and painful death."

For some damn reason, it is the case that the best known examples of vegans are the ones who are COMPLETE assholes about being vegan. *SIGH*

I'm going to guess what is happening is this.
1. People who are vegans care about it a lot on the emotional level.
2. For some reason, something I don't know about human nature means that 1 means that many of the people who identify as "vegans" must be complete ASSHOLES about veganism.

I'm only an "ethical" vegetarian, and so far havent felt any urges to crack nuts or the like. You have Gruyere cheese to thank for that one I guess...

Unfortunately, all the wrong sort of attention.
*le sigh
Oh and did you know that there is such a thing as 'No Meat Monday' here in Oz?
What a joke that one was! We had (from the Australian Meat Industry) 'Meat Only Monday' in counter protest.
And don't get me started on 'Fluffy Kittens turning feral' and decimating our native wild life

I am perfectly fine with people who are vegetarians or vegans, it is a perfectly legitimate lifestyle choice.
Howeer I have no respect for people like for example; the members of PETA. Because they often treat other human beings the way, they don't want animals to be treated.

Totally concur Tristo.
The example I posted does no one any favours. But they truly believe they are the sacred warriors for animals and veganism.

PETA, while being an organization the exists to further animal rights, is so extreme that they do things like horribly abusing animals. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!
Seriously, people, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
