There is something very odd about vegan animal-rights activist. Every time a have criticized their working methods or voiced an opinion they disapprove of, they reply with racism and silly comments like “go home”. With my un-Swedish name, they assume I’m an immigrant. Never does it seem to occur to them that they are a tiny minority most people consider extremists.

I just had another experience like that. In an online discussion about kosher slaughter methods, I was immediately dismissed as a religious fundamentalist and a foreigner who should leave Sweden at once. So, what is about vegans and racism? Does the strict food regime turn them into bigoted fanatics or is it the other way around? Is too much love for animals the cause of hatred towards fellow human beings?
