‘Chopping up animal corpses is barbaric’:
Vegan ‘terrorists’ threaten to petrol bomb UK butchers
“A cruel and wretched person who maintains his existence at the cost of others’ lives
deserves to be killed for his own well-being, otherwise he will go down by his own actions.”
He who gives permission, he who kills the animal, he who sells the slaughtered animal, he who cooks the animal, he who administers distribution of the foodstuff, and at last he who eats such cooked animal food are all murderers, and all of them are liable to be punished by the laws of nature. No one can create a living being despite all advancement of material science, and therefore no one has the right to kill a living being by one’s independent whims. (SB 1.7.37)

Vegan ‘terrorists’ threaten to petrol bomb UK butchers
Staff of a family-run butcher shop are living in fear after receiving death threats from vegan activists. In a less violent approach others have also targeted the shop by leaving negative reviews on social media.
Activists spray painted ‘Stop Killing Animals. Go vegan’ and the logo of the Animal Liberation Front across the front of Marlow Butchers in Kent. The business has received dozens of threats, including one message that said the shop would be petrol bombed, along with slightly less sinister one-star reviews on Facebook. It is unclear why this business in particular has been targeted.
Wayne Marlow, who runs the shop with his father, Trevor, and brother, Martin, said that vegans from around the world were terrorising their family business. “It has got ridiculous,” he said.
“Activists from as far away as Australia are getting involved. Not only are they threatening to physically destroy our business but they are also trying to ruin our reputation by leaving negative reviews and comments. They want to close us down and people are threatening to smash the windows or petrol bomb the store.”
Trevor Marlow – who has been a butcher for five decades – was so worried about the threats being made against them that he reported the threats to police after the May 7 graffiti attack.
Vicious vegans also flooded the shop’s Facebook page to leave negative reviews of the family business. Henry Washington Hutchings left a one-star Facebook review, stating that: “Chopping up the corpses of innocent animals and using their flesh for food is barbaric.”
Another user, named Avril Elaine Sims said that Marlow’s is a “terrible place that profits from the sales of animal body parts. No different to others that trade in elephant, tiger or rhino body parts. In fact it’s worse as farmed animals are born only to be murdered.” A spokesman for Kent Police said officers are investigating the report of “malicious communications and harassment” aimed at the business.
Others have used social media to defend the family-run shop. Vegan and Facebook user Gary Wills condemned the behavior of his fellow vegans, stating: “I bet you’ve got a very reputable business with great quality products.
“It’s unfortunate that some so-called vegans think trying to vandalise someone’s business is a legitimate way to get their message across,”he said. “All it does is give the vegan lifestyle a bad name. As a vegan myself I hope your business recovers from this as I know it’s your livelihood.”
Manchester resident Robert Ward chimed in with words of support. “…I am absolutely disgusted and sickened that these extreme left wing vegan terrorists are targeting your business,” he said.
Chief executive of rural advocacy group the Countryside Alliance Tim Bonner told The Telegraph that attacks on butchers, markets, and even abattoirs are on the rise. “It’s an extension of animal rights campaigns we have seen around other areas, using the same tactics including online abuse,” he said. “They usually attack small independent businesses rather than taking on the big boys – it’s quite cowardly.”
“Social media has been a catalyst for much of this campaigning, both in terms of bringing together international groups and, if they find the right independent business, it does bring a lot of pressure on family businesses and farmers.”
He added that social media companies did not take the threats seriously enough. “None of the social media platforms view the abuse of those involved in meat production as they would other minorities,” Bonner said. “This is understandable but there has to be an equality of response when people like this butcher or others are being targeted.
“It’s both personally threatening and people feel unsafe, they are not putting themselves forward on a controversial issue, they are just carrying on the business that their family has for generations.
“There’s a really nasty and cowardly tactic, using things like TripAdvisor and other online platforms to do fake reviews and it can have a direct effect on their livelihood.”
‘Vegan Terror’: French meat restaurant smashed-up in night attack
The difference between a human and an animal is that human is given independence, and animal acts on instincts, they are so-to-say programmed (by nature). That is the only difference.
Why then so many people are misusing their independence and massively killing animals and other life forms? Because in Kali-yuga most people are programmed to behave like animals or worse than animals, they actually do not act independently. Most people are uncivilized, contrary to popular belief that today people are more civilized than before. Previously most people were civilized, and only few people were uncivilized, barbaric. In Kali-yuga things are opposite. This is the nature of Kali-yuga, and things will get even worse, though animalistic people will still think they are progressing. The same will happen when they start to eat their own children massively. It will all happen ‘naturally’, as a result of the so-called continuous advancement of human civilization, or liberation from ignorance of their backward ancestors.
This is how Maya works, but most people are not aware of it. They are sleeping in Maya, not acting independently, but acting as slaves, or programmed.
To actually become independent or keep independence given by nature means to listen the instructions of eternal Vedas, not the instructions of Kali-yuga man-made propaganda.
Srila Prabhupada mentions that human life begins when one starts to inquire about self-realization, and then consults Vedas for the answers.
We are given opportunity to become civilized, by reading Srila Prabhupada books (unmodified). It is the greatest gift given to all people in Kali-yuga. If we don’t accept Srila Prabhupada books (unmodified) we will all be doomed (covered by Maya).
It is so unfortunate that even we are given the greatest treasure in form of Srila Prabhupada books (unmodified) – the Vedas, we have not utilized them in a way to become more merciful towards innocent animals and other life forms. We have not yet become human, and are still under the influence of Kali-yuga mass propaganda which keeps us as slaves to Maya – not independent.
Maya’s main weapon is to convince ‘civilized’ people that killing and eating animals is the main necessity and purpose of life, to fill their bellies will animal flesh, digest with the help of alcohol, and dispose in the form of sexual or exploitative energy. If people are convinced and act according to Maya’s way of life, in other words if they are programmed to act as brainwashed slaves, their intelligence will remain dull, and the self-inquiry will never come into their minds. They will reject Vedas as useless. The consequence is that they will remain in bodily consciousness, and never progress in spiritual awakening, but forever remain dull in material consciousness, by transmigrating from one body to another in this material world.
But the animal killers will not go to heaven, but degrade to lower life forms, like those of animals, bugs, insects, bacteria, worms, stones and so on.
And Maya is whispering, “I don’t believe this. It is not true. I am an atheist or I am very pious. It does not relate to me. Or, I don’t care.” Amazing how Maya is working within our tiny brains. Unbelievable.
Please don’t kill animals, it is sinful, and read Srila Prabhupada books.
Hare Krishna.
