Title: Farmer sells out of turkeys after 'vegan mafia' sends him death threats

A U.K. poultry farmer was the victim of death threats after sharing a post on Facebook, but now he’s thanking the “vegan mafia” for drawing attention to his establishment.

“Come and pick your own Christmas turkey at the farm shop,” the Nov. 4 Greendale Farm Shop post read: “We will put a name tag on it and you come and feed it and help look after it for the next 2 months. You won’t need to get involved in any of the difficult bits at the end, and we will even bone and stuff it for you when you come and pick it up, in time for Christmas.”

The post, which suggested that a buyer will take care of a turkey for two months before sending it to slaughter, was met with ire from vegans.

“The ultimate betrayal. Looking after them, gaining their trust and then paying somebody else to slash their throats open for us because we don’t want to do the dirty work ourselves? How about we just leave them alone and eat something else?” one person wrote.

A more peaceful objector wrote, “Hopefully this will put people off eating meat as they make the connection between what they eat and who it once was.”

The post went viral, and Matt Carter and his staff at Greendale Farm Shop, in Exeter, England, started to receive death threats. The storefront was even spray painted, “MURDER! GO VEGAN!”

However, proving there’s no such thing as bad press, Carter has been selling 25 birds a day, instead of one or two as usual.

“People have wanted to support us, and the story has made some people [realize] we sell turkeys ready for Christmas,” he told the local Exmouth Journal.

He added: “This year, because of the extra publicity, we sold out of the free-range [turkeys]. It seems like although the vegan mafia wanted us to stop killing turkeys, it hasn’t happened. What has happened is people have decided to buy more and go for slightly better welfare turkeys, going for free range.”

"Unintended Consequences" in not in the left wing vocabulary.

In intelligence circles, "unintended consequences" are things that happened that are not expected. This idea dates back to John Locke and Adam Smith. ;)

Like I said, UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES...:)

Now celebrate some diversity like everyone else is doing!

Q: What is more justicy than a hipster wearing a Che t-shirt being shot through the head by a right-wing death squad?

A: When it happens in a soccer stadium.

That vid was freaky. It reminded me of when I did Belly Bumps with one of the guys on the crew at the concerts. He is dead a long time now. IIRC he died in his sleep.

And then there is the wracking in the head with a hammer. The gang bangers tried that with me swinging ball bats at my head. I was able to stave them off and I ran one of them over to get out of the circle they had me in. If that guy is still alive I bet he remembers it. God bleess Mayor Bilandic for giving us those galvanized garbage can lids with the handles. They made perfect shields. ;)
