    Seeing some of attacks and rhetoric they engage in with our university pharmacology department folks I would be completely unsurprised.

    oh no, did the scary vegans tell your group of folks to stop abusing and killing animals?

    There are no scary vegans, but the humane harvesting of animals for food has occurred for millions of years.

    Consuming animal protein is also one of the healthiest things you can do for your body.

    I’m a scary vegan that’s probably healthier than you. What is this “humane harvesting” - could you describe it and how it relates to university pharmacology departments?

    Consuming animal proteins that cause cancer and promote zoonotic diseases are not “one of the healthiest things you can do”. Got anything peer reviewed? Share away.

    They did feel threatened yeah. Not scary as in unwashed or scary looking, more like "unhinged" scary, as in "they could slash my tires" or physically attack and such.

    Oh wow, creating a boogeyman by thinking how motivated people could do something bad but having no evidence for that sounds both terrifying and exhausting. Glad you made it out alive. Wish the animals did, too.

    Oh me? I am fine, never had anything to do with. I just worked in the lab nearby. But glad you're glad I am ok!

    This is a public service announcement: please stop barbecueing your jackfruits, this is a culinary crime beyond even boiled vegetables. Please, for the love of god, just eat something fresh for once in your life
