Being responsible for the killing of and then eating an innocent animal is a form of fanaticism IMHO

Fanaticism - the quality of being fanatical.
Fanatical - filled with excessive and single-minded zeal. obsessively concerned with something.

That would pretty much sum up how meat eaters are about eating meat, wouldn't it??

Or pretty much sum up how many (and notice that I don't generalize to ALL, unlike your assertion about meat eaters) vegans and vegetarians are about not eating meat, and about those who do.

According to the OED, a fanatic (adjective and noun in current use) is Of persons, their actions, attributes, etc.: Characterized, influenced, or prompted by excessive and mistaken enthusiasm...
A fanatic person; a visionary; an unreasoning enthusiast. Applied in the latter half of the 17th c. to Nonconformists as a hostile epithet.

I think this applies very well to the attackers in the article linked in the OP, as well as to any others who make their dietary preferences into a political and social statement.

The article contains an appeal for donations.

I think what those carnivores did was act like a bunch of jerks, but I'm not so outraged as to fork over any green about it.

It's cool if any of y'all do, though.

Not in my experience. Quite the opposite, it's usually the vegans who are viciously aggressive and condescending, willing to fight for the right to tell others what to do. Meat eaters tend towards the "Hey, all the more burgers for me!" sort of attitude.

You just have not lived until you've been to a trendy restaurant with a veganazi feminist. She tells you about how eating chicken is murder and you point out how aborting five months old fetuses is a whole lot more like murder and before you know it glassware is shattering and the scream of police sirens is getting close...

I suppose this is a joke, but you don't actually believe in a concept of innocent plants right? As in, plants feeling emotions and such.

It's a little known fact (outside of the landscaping world) that many plants are evil.
I've been attacked by poison ivy, various tree branches, wild rose (nature's barbed wire), & garlic mustard.

Innocent in that they aren't causing harms to others, but humans (and other animals) attack them, kill them, and eat them.

What would a veganazi feminist be doing with you in a non-veggie restaurant?
