VIEWS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA

STORY: Why do people hate vegans?

Stuie Matthew: People generally dislike others who point out the wrong in certain things we enjoy doing. It doesn’t make them any less right though, and that’s what can be annoying.

Brian Bell: Nothing against

vegans. You’re entitled to your opinion and choice but no right to dictate/bully other people what to do with their lives.

Carly-ann Richards: I

don’t hate anyone. You can be whoever you wanna be, not causing me any harm.

Norm Russell: “Their lifestyle choices rarely impinge on anyone else’s well-being but vegans routinely find themselves as targets for jibes, sneers and even abuse.” Maybe it’s because they routinely force their lifestyle opinions on other people?

Ian Stephenson: Why can’t it just be “Dry January” Without hijacking a platform month just to further your constant need for validation.
