    It doesn’t make vegans look bad. It does show that some carnivore has a sense of humor, though.

  2. Alexandra Grey says:

    Wow. I saw this posted at Sevananda in Little Five Points, Atlanta a few months ago. Wonder if it was taken there? Also, carnivores are WIN!

  3. Diane says:

    != win. Making snarky carnivore jokes in response to any mention of vegetarianism is so old. They’ve made a choice, you’ve made yours, so what’s the big whoop? (And if it’s “But they’re so condescending and judgmental and they get mad at me for eating meat!” you are just hanging out near the wrong vegetarians, because I know a ton of them and they’re not like that.)

    Besides which, vegan support groups make sense. I’m not vegetarian but I’ve been trying to eat less meat, and there is an overwhelming amount of information out there–having a smaller group of people to talk to and get answers, instead of joining some massive online community, would be really helpful.

    • Jami says:

      Just remember, Hitler was a vegetarian.

      I’ve gotten more physical violence/death threats from vegetarians/vegans then I ever have from omnivores. It’s like the lack of meat makes them more bloodthirsty.

      Plus I’ve never known one that wasn’t a total hypocrite. They claim they’re doing it to live longer, but they’re also usually chain smokers/drug addicts/heavy drinkers.

      Girl I was friends with in elementary school, her parents were militant vegans. She and her brother both had serious mental problems, always having dizzy spells – they got arrested together in high school in a motel for cooking up/distributing crystal meth.

      • SambaOleg says:

        He was not vegetarian.
        He loved to eat Weisswurst, Bacon and other meaty stuff. It was just part of the Nazi-Propaganda to mystify him.

        • chris says:

          mmm weisswurst is great, there’s a German restaurant here that makes their own, plus bratwurst and bauernwurst. Not to mention the great kassler ripschen (smoked pork chop) and schnitzel.

      • John Eliot says:

        Ha ha, the old myth that “Hitler was a vegetarian” shows true ignorance. We have many samples of his menus and interviews of his personal chef, calling for pigeon stew and the like. He may have been curious about the diet but he was a carnivore through-and-through. Please! Get your facts straight.

      • John Eliot says:

        Okhe old myth that “Hitler was a vegetarian” shows true ignorance. There are many samples of his menus and interviews of his personal chef, calling for pigeon stew and the like. He may have been curious about the diet but he was a carnivore through-and-through. Haha get your facts straight.

        • lulu says:

          just because he cooked meat doesnt mean he eats it, I live with a vegetarian who is quite happy to prepare it for other people. Get YOUR facts right.

          • Person that belongs in hell says:

            I’m such a heartless person…I saw your comment and thought to myself. “yeah, he cooked meat. They were called jews. Doesn’t mean he ate them.”

            :

            Do I belong in hell? Yeah, I’ll just be going then.

        • David Huntley says:

          Omnivore, not carnivore. Haha get your facts straight. (way to show true ignorance)

      • Master Of The Sages says:

        a motel in a highschool?

        • Amfleet says:

          Humans cannot rely on meat alone, but if it were not for the comforts of a modern world that can quickly be swept from under our feet, we couldn’t survive on plants either.
          +1 internets to the creator.

  4. thx1449 says:

    and what, the omnivores get left out?

  5. Cedar says:

    I have also seen this at American River College in Sacramento, so evidently some carnivore with a sense of humor has been traveling. ;)

  6. Ray says:

    Shocking..Vegans get the reputation of being militant conversion-ists yet who’s the one being the ignorant asshole?

    • Kingfishe says:

      I’ll vote You.

      Because either:

      1) You’ve never met a Vegan, making you ignorant (and from your snarky-sarcastic tone, an asshole to boot).
      2) You’re a Vegan yourself, in which case you already know that.

    • RJMac says:

      It’s called humor, Ray. It’s OK to laugh.

      • Nom says:

        You forgot Mac, He’s a Vegan. He has no soul. He can’t laugh at the fact that he is a wimpy person who can’t put up with the fact that he is a 40 year old who lives with his mother and still cries when Bambi’s Mommy dies. Also it is a fact that the chicken population is greater than the human. P.S. I really don’t know why I said fact a lot. CARINVORES/ OMNIVORES FTW. P.P.S. Screw spelling.

  7. Eirinjas says:

    Looks faked just for the pic. Even the red header is exactly the same size in both.

  8. boaks says:

    Depending on where the vegan/vegetarian lives, I can totally see how they’d need a support group. I’m a vegan in DC and feel completely comfortable being vegan there, but when I visit my parents in Western PA, I do get a lot of verbal abuse for my veganism.

    But I do really, really enjoy the carnivore’s response. I lol’ed.

  9. Carnivoar says:

    There’s no “ignorant asshole” in this situation. There’s a rather clever instance of someone using satire. I garauntee 100% that the person that posted that (and everyone you know) is not a carnivore. Omnivore, sure. But not a meat-only T-rex Carnivore.

    please get over your vegetarian/vegan “why’s everyone attacking me all the time” mentality. It’s worse than feminism, or anti-racism, lately.

  10. Sparrow says:

    I once made a pot of vegetarian chili for a potluck-type lunch at work without telling anyone it was vegetarian. Nobody noticed – including the rabidly anti-everything guy who loudly proclaimed “Vegetarians are losers!”
    I wasn’t trying to trick anyone, though. I just didn’t want to admit that I’d forgotten to get ground beef when I went shopping for the ingredients…

  11. Smores says:

    Awww… Look at all the poor vegans getting upset.. U mad? Meat is murder.. and murder is delicious…

  12. M says:

    I lol’d. Chill out, it’s just a joke.

  13. Shag says:

    Consider:

    How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a leaf?

  14. RJMac says:

    Vegan- an old Choctaw Indian word meaning “lousy hunter”

    Well, that’ll make the vegans mad…………….

  15. Bleh says:

    Violent night, holey night, all is calm, not for long,
    round yon dead stegosaurus, juicey meat tender and glorious,
    eat it in many pieces, eat it in many pieces.

  16. Karena says:

    PLANTS HAVE FEELINGS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Lee says:

    There are lacto-vegetarians and there are ovo-vegetarians. I’m a lacto-ovo-carno-vegetarian.

  18. Elliott says:

    I’m vegetarian, and I find this really funny (also I’m not a hypocrite- I don’t drink, smoke, use drugs, or even drink caffeine, which are all personal choices, and I don’t judge anyone who partakes in any of the above). My only problem with the flyer is the use of “carnivore” when the clever flyer designer is an omnivore. No humans are carnivores. Anyway, that’s just my correct usage/spelling/grammar nazi self that I can’t hold back (those fast food commercials about being carnivores bother me for the same reason, but aren’t funny). I can’t see ever needing a support group for being a vegan, so poor choice of words on the original flyer. Sounds like a good way to meet like-minded people in a small town or in more conservative areas, though. I live in a major metropolitan city, so it’s really easy to live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. When I travel to less populous areas, though, it can be very hard to be vegetarian AND healthy (lack of nutritious options). Vegetarianism/veganism is hard for some people to comprehend, and on multiple occasions my food has come with meat in it, regardless of what I ask for. There is also a lot of judgment that I have experienced from conservative small town folk, probably because my lifestyle is a pretty clear indication of my liberal tendencies. Holier than thou vegans are not the only ones who look down on others, as common as that is (I hope I’m not like that). Many conservatives are just as judgmental about others who they don’t feel live up to their morals – they just appear friendlier while they’re judging you. But a good point to keep in mind is that pretty much every lifestyle is ridiculous in its own way, and they can all be laughed at. Try reading “Stuff White People Like,” which is a frustratingly accurate but funny take on youngish liberal white people. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Sorry for the treatise, I’ll stop now.

    • Roger says:

      “No humans are carnivores. ”
      .
      That’s not true. Many Arctic peoples such as the Inuit and Yakut were almost completely carnivorous. They occasionally ate a few berries in summer, but if that makes them non-carnivores then so are wolves.
      .
      Not only that, but they were very healthy with it. Then the modern western dieticians were all, “whoa, food pyramid, you must have your 5 serves of veggies per day”, traditional meat-only lifestyle largely vanished, and they have massive outbreaks of previously unknown diabetes, cardiovascular disease, colonic cancers and eye disorders.
      .
      Of course this doesn’t prove that pure carnivorism is the best solution for people of non-Inuit ancestry, but it does kind of torpedo several favourite tenets of the dieticians, such as:
      a) one set of dietary recommendations for everyone, regardless of what their ancestors were eating;
      b) claims that high meat diets cause cardiovascular disease or colonic cancers; and
      c) claims that certain plant food groups are *essential* to health.

  19. Always great to stumble onto a new site this terrific I’ll be coming back here for sure

  20. Becca says:

    saw it at gainesville state college too a few years ago! defiantly put a smile on my face!

  21. Becca says:

    definitely**

  22. fap says:

    THIS LOOKS PIXELED I CAN TELL THE THE TIME AND SEEING A FEW PIXELS IN MY SHOP.

  23. Elle says:

    I saw these posted in several buildings in the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa last semester. =D

  24. John Eliot says:

    Interesting that the carnivore avatar is a beast that is both extinct and fairly stupid.

    • DanFromDetroit says:

      Yeah – I’ll remember to look you up in a couple of hundred thousand years to see how your enjoying your boiled asparagus root and aloe parfait.

    • Irish says:

      Interesting that the vegan avatar is splattered all over my windshield… (that is a butterfly, right?)

  25. phyre says:

    ZOMG!!! People who care enough about non-human animals to stop eating them are SOOOOOO UNCOOL!!!1!1 Thank God there are good, red blooded meat eaters around to make fun of their attempts to meet and socialize with each other. If these losers aren’t ridiculed enough, normal people might start thinking about lame things like compassion and morality and questioning their own choices, and we certainly can’t have THAT.

  26. xmiq says:

    Hi all, many keep on saying that there aren’t no human carnivores, only omnivores. The thing is I am a carnivore not omnivores and I am awesome (couldn’t resist :P ). Well apart from that I have no particular desires and I am quite healthy (though I need more exercise). Now what I mean by carnivore is that I eat little to vegetables and likewise and only when there is nothing else available.

  27. Draco says:

    one thing that i find interesting is that no-one is mentioning the fact that carnavores eat the partialy digested vegitable matter in their preys stomachs. Thats how carnavores get their vegitables.

  28. Hai says:

    Ewww, that’s just sad.

  29. burgersaurus says:

    salad is murder.

  30. HivephethySet says:

    VANCOUVER — Fourthranked Mark Morris shot a blistering 54 percent from the field and took a giant step toward another league title by crushing Hockinson 62-46 in a Greater St. Helens 2A League boys basketball matchup on Friday .

    Dalton Thacker and Sean Atkins led a balanced MM attack with 17 points apiece, and Chris Reeves was a force inside with 10 points and eight rebounds.

    • Irish says:

      WTF??? See, here we are debating plants vs. meat while this guy has obviously been eating paint chips. Wrong forum, much?

  31. Blarg says:

    Dude, #1, Respect vegetarians.
    #2, Humans are nbot carniores, they are omnivores. Go to school.
    ykwim

  32. Renewer says:

    To be honest i have no problem with vegans. don’t get me wrong i think 90% of them are morons and have no idea what their talking about but as long as they don’t try to make me feel guilty about eating “Bambie” then im ok. p.s. im hoping to mark Bambie’s dad this year lol. i already got his mom and big brother(fork in horn). just in case you were wondering Bambie’s mom didn’t suffer…..HEADSHOT!

  33. Beth says:

    It doesn’t make vegans look bad, but it does illustrate the widespread cultural association of meat with masculinity and masculine-coded traits, and veg*anism with “wimpy” undesirable female-coded traits. The use of a picture of a dinosaur rather than of actual meat-containing food is significant. If it were a photo of a cheeseburger, that would be something culturally associated with fatness and laziness, so a long-dead reptile with a suitably “masculine” threatening demeanor is necessary despite the fact that most consumers of meat in this country are not, in fact, dinosaurs.
