Toronto chef butchers, eats deer leg in front of protesters.

Agreed, I don't like people telling others how to conduct themselves or judging them based on abstract moral or ethical ideals.

As is the case with most moral debates, both sides of the argument are filled with loud mouthed morons.

Venison. If you have strong teeth and don't mind chewing for an hour. ( per bite) I wonder if it would soften up in a pressure cooker. The magic pot that tenderizes the toughest meat.
They don't sell it around here.

A friend of mine at work brought some deer jerky in, it was like eating a Slim Jim. Not sure how the butcher prepared the Venison, but it was pretty darn good with cheddar and jalapeno mixed in.

And ultimately, they want the restaurant, all restaurants, to go totally vegan.

It's a shame that these radical groups actually believe they can force the world to abandon a natural for humans diet that includes meat. Even worse that trying to put innocent people out of business is actually considered protest, which it is not. It's actually strong arm extortion with victims.

These people who think it is their right to stomp all over other peoples rights don't deserve the time of day. I'd bet if a group of pro-meat people tried to drive a vegan restaurant out of business, they would be arrested and charged with something.

Well I personally have a odd out grandson who seams to hate eating meat .
Looks like a vegan will be in the family ( only took 250,000 years )

As for the people how wish to be vegan what every personally I love meat and once a rabbit farm was shutting down so I went over and killed me 150 Rabbits . Just one hit each for all thous who feal sorry for the Rabbits .
aa nothing like a freezer full of meat .

PS Dont think Lions tigers or bears would shed a tear over my dead carcuse .
Only a Human predator could possibly feal sorry for its prey .
Have said UNLIKE a lion I dont feal a need to play with my prey . Just kill it quickly and cleanly say a prayer to the forest gods for providing such bounty .

I dont agree with imposing your own diet on another species which is clearly meant to eat meat

100% agree with you there. When dogs evolve to have a longer, curvier digestive tract...then maybe things could change. A short straight tract is designed for mostly carnivorous animals.

I lost any vegan tendencies when my vegetable soup spelled out "F@*# you" at me.

Vegan fare's ok, but it ultimately seems to lack satiation substance entirely.

I can't see it being worthwhile as an overall diet for most people, it's like trying to achieve satiation off a bowl of red beans & rice for 8 hours. Tasty, but ain't gonna happen. Mix in some chorizo & now we're talking long-term results. Most vegan items are perfectly fine -- as sides. They just don't cut it for the average human. We're not hobbits, for F's sake, even the best balanced vegan diet leads to constant nibbling to thwart that hunger instinct.
Pro-tip: that instinct is telling you something important. We need long-lasing satiation from our food intake to last, and that balance thereof takes more than just plant nutrients. Anybody who's ever read any of Ricky Mouse's posts knows there's a huge chemical difference between plant fats & protein and flesh fats & protein. We were designed to need both. Not one or the other.

For the majority of people, going vegan isn't optimal, it's like the difference between trying to run a vehicle on rubbing alcohol, and gasoline. Just because the engine will combust the rubbing alcohol & may work satisfactorily for yours doesn't mean that's what's supposed to go in there for optimal results.

Only time I have enjoyed bear was in a stew, haven't had an opportunity to try moose yet, its one of those I am unsure if I want to try hunting it.

I went through survival school with a kid who could not eat meat for medical reasons, I can understand swearing off meat when its medically mandated.

Its choosing to that boggles my mind.

My husband works with a Canadian who brings in bear & moose stews for lunch on a regular basis, occasionally in large enough amounts to split with my husband. According to him, both are phenomenal, and his willpower is lacking -- I've yet to actually have him come home with a small amount from either stew set aside from his half, he can't help but polish it off XD

Can't be bad stuff, hubby's picky about his meat taste & texture as it is.

It's funny you mention the constant nibbling thing, when I began reintroducing meat into my diet after 15 years(ish) of vegetarianism I had an insatiable hunger that lasted months, I just didn't want to stop, everything (even veggies) tasted amazing! It's been a few years now, and I am back to having a normal(ish) appetite, I did put on more than a few pounds, but it mostly went to my chest not my gut, and it's not like I got big ol' man boobs, my chest and shoulders actually got bigger, at 30(ish) years old...

I went vegan years ago and lasted 2-3 years. Veggie for close to 10 yearsish. Your body adapts and stops itching for other foods. It sounds like a hard road and wasn't at all. Downside was not being a missionary vegan and not giving an honest crap what anyone else ate. People have an urge to ask 20 questions about 'Why vegan?' They want answers dammit!

As for the legend in the OP? Top man and much respect to him. He wasn't out trying to preach to others about eating meat so why should vegans or vegetarians feel it's OK to preach their diet choices?

You know, I don't care what people decide to eat. We had a gal in my scholarship house who was pescatarian. She was totally cool. She didn't give us any flak and we returned the favor. Someone might occasionally ask her about what she was eating because she had a different repertoire of recipes than we did and some of it looking pretty good. Vegetarian food isn't bad, just not what I want to eat as a constant diet.

What I dislike is when people start to think their diet is not just a nutritionally sound choice, but a morally superior one like these protestors are doing. That's when people start to get overbearing.

Bunnies are good food. I prefer mine baked, or a good stew with lots of veggies...

Venison stew is great, too. Or any other way, so long as it's tenderized a bit.

Gender swapping deer???

How forward thinking of you!

For some reason, that picture struck my funny bone.

Many times!!

Yum. Got treed by one, too, once upon a back-packing trip. Not fun. She was one unhappy moose, and they move much faster than one might think.

'course, that might be why she was so angry...I ate one of her, or part of, relatives??

Some people just don't understand that in order for us to continue to live and exist in this world, many plants, animals and even people have to die. There will always be a price. Maybe they don't want to hurt or kill anything with a central nervous system (particularly if they're cute animals), but realistically, killing a 100-year old tree to make floorboards to walk on in your house is not much different. It's all killing.

And then someday we will all die and something will eat us. Circle of death.
