the video and the news article you linked are different incidents. the video was made three years ago and no one died there, the incident in canada, in which the woman died, was recently - and she did NOT just jump in front of a truck (at least according to witnesses, video footage was not released).

i'm not a vegetarian or vegan, but i do care about animal cruelty and the carbon footprint of meat-heavy diets. that said, actions like shown in the video are an incredibly stupid and short sighted type of 'protest' that never had a chance of achieving anything meaningful. for all we know the trucker could be a vegan himself (probably not though), but either way he's just a low wage working class citizen who'd probably have to pay for any delays or damage of his shipment, at least in the US considering their lack of worker protection. bothering him for some clicks on instagram or to feel good about yourself is just stupid.

with all that out of the way, he should have stopped regardless. even though i think he was initially in the right, you don't take chances with other human beings' lives, no matter how wrong or stupid they are. they posed no danger to his own life, they didn't try to enter his cabin or anything, they were just overzealous animal rights activists.

I agree. But there have been times when I wouldn't have cared.

I was at a bar/ restaurant once, and they had this 3/4 lb. super burger, which I ordered, and ate. The waitress came to the table and said: "I've never seen anyone finish one of those".
Well, I was young, and silly, so I ordered another one, and ate it too.

I thought, "I bet that impressed her". Later on I thought... I bet they say that to anyone that orders that burger, just to sell more. :D

Lol they probably do say that to sell burgers.

Suicide by pig truck. This guy is a failed vegan guys.




Of course I'm just a huge piece of shit to you because i believe humans have rights but I'm inclined to agree with you. Protein and lipids are important.

Some description of the scene or where she was standing in relation to the truck would be helpful.

Also her bio is just one fucking work of insanity. If I'm reading this right, she married three man and they supported her while she quit her "modelling" job and became a full time activist, vowing never to have children and went back to college to get a degree in political science purely to help her activism. She may not have actually worked a day in her entire life, but she sure showed up to every single animal rights protest for 40 years and contributed absolutely nothing to society. She "cared for rabbits and squirrels".
