Violence Towards Vegans

Introduction
Despite the fact that some people claim vegans are ‘violent’, ‘militant’, or ‘extremists’, and often use these excuses to justify them not becoming a vegan, there is a growing list of evidence to the contrary—that it is nonvegans who are usually the violent ones:

Advice

Unfortunately, it is very likely that violence towards vegans will continue and perhaps increase as the transition towards a vegan world continues. Other rights movements in history tend to follow the same pattern.

My advice to vegans, especially if you are an activist, is the following:

1) Be wise

2) Learn basic self defence

3) Get a support network

4) Keep a phone/camera on you at all times.

If anyone has more evidence, either anecdotally or pictures and videos, then feel free to share.

Thanks for reading.
