What do other vegetarians think of this?!


Question: What do other vegetarians think of this!?
Ok, so my friend's boyfriend is into ag stuff (raising animals and killing them) and he knows that I'm a vegetarian!. He makes fun of me for it a lot!. This morning I wake up to a video text message of a cow being shot and killed!. I didn't recognize the number and I replied with something like "WTF!? I was asleep and you f***ing woke me up for that-that's mature"!. And they replied, "sorry someone stole my phone"!.
So I'm sure the people behind it was my friend's boyfriend and his friend!. I want to know what other vegetarians think of this!.
Personally, I found it insulting and I'm confused as to how they could think that's funny!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I'm sorry but the guy doesn't have a brain!. You can be happy in the fact that you are far smarter and more caring than he will ever be!. It's best to distance yourself from stupid people if that's possible!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

break up with the boyfriend and stay away from these people!. sorry but he, nor his friends, have any respect for you!. they don't have to agree with your lifestyle but they should respect it!. do you want to be with someone who laughs at you!? who thinks something that you obviously take seriously and is important to you is silly and dumb!? someone who loves you, respects you, and if he's making fun of you he doesn't respect you!. and his friends are just jerks!. seriously, i know it hurts, but you can do much much much better!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well they are really immature and need to be prayed evn though im buddhist because if they think the slaughter of animals is cool then they lack major empathy dont they and not people i would want to be around or associate myself with just make there comment go in one ear and out the other and know your a good person and that you will live longer then them and your cancer and other health risk will be less then thiers because you dont eat fleshWww@FoodAQ@Com

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's terrible trust me i know my sister breaks bacon in half makes it look like a mouth and talks to me and stuff!. She also put meat by me when I slept!. Which I understand is not nearly as bad but quite terrifying to a 13 year old girl!. They just do it to get on your nerves!. If you don't respond they will learn that it won't stop you from being a good person (a veggie) and they will stop!. Best of luck from one veggie to another!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think people who do this sort of thing are just jealous that you've found something you are passionate about and can stick with!.

ignore it - they'll likely pull another stupid stunt like this one, and if you react to it, they are just getting their way!. don't give them any reason to continue to tease you, just pretend you have no idea what they are talking about!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It doesn't sound like your boyfriend is being very understanding; explain to him the reasons you are vegetarian, and why his attitude offends you!. If he still makes fun of you, then perhaps you are not right for each other!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh wow, so mature!.

This sort of thing just isn't funny!. Ignore it, and don't retaliate - that's just fanning the fire!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is very offensive and disrespectful of your choices!. I would expect your boyfriend to set the record straight with his friends or friends of friends; he needs to let them know that wasn't cool!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Incredibly insulting!.I wouldn't put up with it at all!. Even people that eat meat would find it terrible to receive a message like that!.!.!.!.utterly disgusting!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ignore it!. Pretend like it doesn't bother you!. if he persists, find a new, sexy, veg*n boyfriend!. ;]Www@FoodAQ@Com

OMG! he shot a cow! dump him!. he obviously doesn't understand your believes and doesn't support you on them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i would kill that guy if i were you!. yes it is very insulting and that guy is moronWww@FoodAQ@Com

Omg! What a immature jerk! He needs to respect you, and I would be pissed if I were you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am not a vegetarian but that is plainly sick and wrong!.!.I would yell at him and tell him to knock off his crap!. lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

As far as I am concerned your so-called good friend is not a very good friend at all!. She may not be the one directly do these things to you, but she is willing to be a girlfriend of someone who likes to hurt other people's feelings!.

I would steer clear of her and if she asks you if you are avoiding her tell her that you are and it's because of the ignorant boyfriend that she chose!.

I think that is an absolutely horrible thing to do to someone, especially a vegetarian!. A regular omnivore would probably be offended by that!.

That is even someone that may be illegal!. If it continues to happen take the phone to the police and see what they think of the harassment you are getting!. Save the messages as evidence!. I seriosly think this may fall under harassment!

People like that end up making us stronger in the long run, though it might make you feel weak and sad now!. Just stand by your beliefs and know that the cow you had to watch be shot on the movie didn't have to die for you!. You can take pride in knowing that no cow will ever be killed for you again!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why would you want to be anywhere around somebody like that!. He sounds like a complete dirt-bag (like that toothless hillbilly in the Deliverance)!. He can't even be like one of those idiots who claim that they "have to earn a living"!. He sound like he enjoys it and finds it funny!. This may sound like an unfeeling thing to say, but if it were me, my beliefs would overstep any special feelings I had towards somebody !.I wouldn't so much be insulted as I would be angry and disgusted!. I'd honestly rather date a pedophile!. And I mean that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
