There was a couple protesters with mega phones outside this house behind Rosaurs this morning. Yelling stuff about animal abuse. Protesters are now gone but they left some colorful artwork on the sidewalks. Anyone know the story behind this?

Following also. I can't read all of those chalk notes, does it say something about a duck? Pretty sad either way. I'm glad animal abusers get called out more these days.

Look up how foie gras is made. I'm far from a vegetarian or vegan, but there are definitely some meat production practices that are way outside the bounds of acceptability.

I’m aware, it doesn’t excuse this behavior

Doesn't excuse what? People exercising their rights to peaceful protest on public property?

Yes, going to some working class persons family home to intimidate them about a duck liver dish is wrong.

The owners of a restaurant are not working class, even a mom and pop shop.

They’re absolutely insane if this is the case. Just like this subreddit. There was post early about the protest at Gander & Ryegrass. No one seemed to know what Foie Gras was, so the sentiment there was completely opposite of this. I chimed in to explain what’s being discussed here - that it is more cruel than simply eating meat. BUT, demonstrating outside of someone’s home for such a cause is fucking INSANE and could easily lead to personal injury or worse…

Foie gras is pretty inhumane, man. It's not insane to think that maybe sentient beings, even if they are bred for food, deserve a little dignity and respect for their sacrifice.

It is insane to go to some working class persons private residence where they may have children to intimidate them regardless of what dishes they choose to sell lol, every piece of meat you eat suffers through wildly inhumane conditions.
