What the ? Vegans.....they're a bit confused.

And therein lies the problem with these idiots. The human body, especially infants, needs animal protein to develop and grow. I was in a pub in Hampshire about 25 years ago and this family came in, small Bill Oddie lookalike man, earthen hippy wife and two little daughters. The parents didn't exactly look the picture of health but the kids looked like they'd just been released from Auschwitz. At the bar, the father asked for the vegetarian menu. Assuming those kids are still alive, I would imagine they're under-developed in all areas.

If you want to be a vegan or vegetablist, I'm ok with that, but it should not be forced on others, even their own kids. I girl I sometimes walk my dog with is a vegan and she has three kids (16, 13 and 11); one is normal, one is a vegetablist and the other is a vegan, all by their own choices.

I sometimes have to go vegan when eating in places of very limited choice, such as planes, and I don't know how people can do it because it is not in the least bit enjoyable. I never travel without a bag of protein and a slack handful of protein bars, just in case. I'm fed up of trolley dollies telling me I could've pre-ordered my in flight meal on line; bit difficult when jumping on a plane with only a few hours notice.
I get particularly angry when I meet plebs who inflict it on their dogs and cats.

They should be arrested. That is all.

I read about this idiot Vegan woman in the States (where f'ing else!) that decided her dog would be vegan, too. I've just found the article and it's well worth a read:

We have two or three ‘non-meat’ main courses a week, not out of particular choice but because we enjoy them.
We're having a non meat tea tonight also, I forgot to get anything out of the freezer so it's cheese omelette time.

By confidence we are also non-meat. Bit of a lazy meal I’m afraid, shop bought cheese, mushroom and red pepper quiche with leftover couscous with mushroom, aubergine, sweet corn with a dash of lemon running through it.

probably a big dollop of Branston as well:p:p

What's confidence got to do with you not eating meat?

I know of one Newfie who was subjected to this. Needless to say it was not successful. They (it was a vegan couple) were reported to the RSPCA, who did.....feck all.

The dog was eventually and forceably "rescued" (that's probably the best way of describing in an open forum what happened) and rehomed.

Makes me laugh with that new advert on telly for the vegetarian butcher. To butcher is to cut up an animal, so how can you be a "vegetarian" butcher?

Lets just say in that situation I would be front an centre for a little re-education and would have ended up with a newfie, there is very little doubt of that as I still like dogs more than people
