That’s true that vegans are safer in that regard but they do face threats and police brutality from protesting.

A woman in London Ontario (Canada) has bumper stickers on her car that indicate her vegan choices. These bumper stickers include expressions such as: “If you love animals you don't eat them.” "Be kind, be vegan." And “Friends, not food.” One sticker shows a picture of a dog and a cow, asking the question: “Why love one but eat the other?” As a result of these bumper stickers, she has been yelled at, aggressively run off the road, and had meat and other objects thrown at her car. She is worried not only for herself but for her children. Regardless of your own diet and choices, we can likely agree that this is a sad state of affairs.

thank you for sharing nevertheless i do find this post to be in very poor taste. there is a level of disrespect to comparing people groups who face systemic murder with a few individuals who have faced harassment.

The post just says protect these people not that they face the same level of discrimination.

Veganism is always seen as “disrespectful”

i have the utmost respect for veganism and all vegans :)
