Toronto Chef Cuts Up Deer's Leg In Front Of Vegan Protesters, Takes Twitter By Storm

Toronto: In a counter-protest of its own kind, the co-owner of a Toronto restaurant has responded to animal rights activists by cutting up a leg of deer in front of them, prompting reactions from the Twitter and other social media platforms.

A group of local Vegan protesters had arranged a protest in front of the restaurant Antler, known for serving "local seasonal and wild foods" that are native to Canada, such as bison, boar, rabbit, duck and deer.

Restaurant's co-owner and chef, Michael Hunter reportedly brought out an entire animal leg and started cutting it up right in the window on a table reserved for diners.

Chef Hunter received support from meat-eaters and vegans alike who supported his freedom to cut up a deer inside his own restaurant.

DEER(😏) #Antler in #Toronto,

The vegan protesting outside your restaurant and hurting a small business does not have my support. I might not eat all the meats you serve but anything is better than veganism being pushed down my throat.

Super disappointed with how activists outside the restaurant Antler in Toronto chose to respond to a man doing his job in his restaurant. Its a lifestyle, not a religion. 😞 #antler #animalrights #humanrights #protest #love #respect #respectingthekill

However, a few expressed displeasure of the chef's move.

"Super disappointed with how Antler restaurant in Toronto chose to respond to animal rights activists outside their restaurant #antler #animalrights #protest #love #respect," tweeted host of Bachelorette/Bachelor Canada Noah Cappe.

I am disgusted by this entire #Antler incident. I am disgusted to have the protestors that think they have the right to dictate what others eat represent the #vegan community. I am disgusted by how the chef responded to this and will never consider his restaurant now. ~A Vegan

Everybody should boycott Antler! Sounds disgusting and as we can tell, the restaurant obviously doesn’t care about lives. Disgusting. If anybody knows if that “Chef” has a Twitter, let me know.

Vegans or being a vegan is  similar to being a vegetarian in India. But most vegans refuse to eat all and any animal-related products including dairy products and choose this lifestyle due to their love for animals and animal rights.
