Vegans don’t have a sense of humor.
Via Daily Mail:
A butcher has been criticised by vegans after a ‘tongue-in-cheek’ advertising board poked fun at their lifestyle.
Anthony Andrew Traditional Butchers in Duffield, Derbyshire,has been criticised after an advertising board put up outside said: ‘Dear vegans, we have the cow that’s been eating all your grass. You’re welcome.’
But the sign did not go down too well with some, with one passerby taking to social media to accuse the butcher of alienating potential customers.
t read: ‘Dear Anthony Andrews, when I saw the title of your board I was excited at what you might be offering; what a disappointment it was to then read this message and find you offering only hostility and bad grammar. Tip: don’t alienate potential customers. You’re welcome.’
Anthony Griffiths, owner of the shop, has said that the advert was just ‘a bit of fun’ and he meant no harm by it.
He said: ‘We are well-known for our silly adverts and our videos we post online – it’s all a bit of fun. There was no offence meant by them, we just like to have a good time and lighten the mood.
‘We have signs up about vegetarians, but I guess some people are more sensitive than others.
‘All we do is try and do our best every day.’
The butcher also said that the person who posted the comment online could come into the store and have a free steak on the house.
