A man has sparked outrage among the vegan community after being seen eating fried chicken at an animal rights rally.

Video of the man chomping away at the takeaway meal was uploaded to social media app TikTok and has gone viral.

Already garnering 246.2k likes, the post appealed to viewers with the caption: "Meat eating protest in Sydney gets a hungry visitor."

On December 11, members of vegan activist group, Anonymous for the Voiceless, were rallying at Sydney's Town Hall when the man appeared.

The animal rights activists were wearing masks and blindfolds and holding screens that showed graphic videos of animals being slaughtered.

Meanwhile, the man looked on, eating what appeared to be chicken from a KFC box.

Since the video has been published, people around the world have reacted on social media.

"Why do people think it’s cool to lack empathy for other lives?” one commenter said.

"I'm not a vegetarian or anything but you're being childish," another noted.

However, some supported the heckler.

"I must put that on my bucket list. Eating #KFC at a #vegan protest," one wrote.

"Not all heroes wear capes," another said.

"The bloke eating KFC is very innovative in making his own stand against Vegans protesting and trying to force their views on others. Well played that man," one more Tweeted.

People also drive their cars near Firdays for Futures protests. Guess what? If you are not part of the protest, you are under no obligation to share the protestor's goals.

 

[triplestation]

oh that's precious

 

[Rentahamster]

Trolls gonna troll.

This is what happens when we don't have to hunt and gather our food anymore while avoiding giant death bears.

 

[GymWolf]

Well, chiken is kinda the vegetable of the meat realm so in a way he was not breaking the rules...

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

I don't have anything against vegans or vegetarians, but anyone that tries to make me feel bad about eating meat can kiss my ass.

 

[Amory]

I am outraged!

It seems the more freedom people have, the more whiny they get. I’m sure they wouldn’t be vegan for long if they had to live on a farm and survive an average winter

 

[nocsi]

There's honestly nothing like walking around a public park while eating a bucket of fried chicken. It's a nice summer activity

 

[lock2k]

Nice

 

[June]

Eating KFC that you can legally buy in shops? This man is a true renegade

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Original recipe? Extra crispy?

Viral product placement.

Papa

Was this you?

 

[RealGassy]

I would do the same. It's on a public square.
What is a man supposed to eat? Lentils? Getta fuck outta here.

KFC doesn't even look like real meat anyways. So this isn't even remotely provocative.

 

[Ovek]

Viral product placement.

If only KFC were that cool. I bet they don't mind though.. behind closed doors.

No vegan diet, no vegan powers!

I think some of you are trying too hard and giving this guy way too much credit for what is nothing more than childish trolling.

We eat too much meat, that's a fact. I'm not a vegan by any stretch, but we need to reduce the amount of meat we consume for numerous reasons.

So, while it's easy and edgy to jeer the protesters, there's some truth to the message.

 

[newtypepilot]

i'm only outrage he's eating KFC, because KFC isn't even good. Church's all the way!

 

[Papa]

No it was Cunth

We don’t have Church’s or even Popeyes here

 

[IzukuMidoriya]

Right with you. We got Popeye's but I gotta go to the ghetto (and way down there) to get Church's. Nope!

First thing that came to my mind when I read this thread was that gif. Are you Professor X? Lmao

That's a hard pass from me. You do what you want, though.

oh that's precious

Holy shit lmao

 

[haxan7]

The vegans are just hangry. Someone needs to feed them some meat right in their mouths to cool them down

 

[triplestation]

Holy shit lmao

AHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAH

[StreetsofBeige]

Look at the guy.

I bet he was the happiest guy at the whole rally.

 

[KingGhidorah]

ma man!!

 

[triplestation]

wasted fucken opportunity

he should have made their mouths water

he should have cooked the fucking thing and then bring it outside for people to eat free samples

if possible he should have grilled it outside so they can smell and reluctantly deny the deliciousness

Im a vegetarian and even I got a good chuckle out of that picture in the OP

Sometimes I understand the point vegans are trying to make and even agree with them at times.

But man, to take it to the extreme some of them do is just totally the wrong way to go about it.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I have a problem with the treatment of chickens. They cut their beaks off to prevent them from pecking one another. That's awful. They're all just shoved in a cage and a heated blade cuts off their beak.

I'm a vegan. I hate the treatment of animals at slaughterhouses. I'm not trying to start a riot or anything, but I have my own opinions.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Overrated levels of funny.

 

[H4ze]

He looks sooo damn satisfied, I want to shake his hand, a true hero

 

[JSoup]

One of the comments expressed my thoughts exactly.
This is pretty good advertisement for the restaurant.
The meat is fresh and was prepared right in front of me, I'd stop in for a bite right then and there.

 

[petran79]

Near work there is a farm and I throw at the pigs some fruits and vegetable leftovers.

Why not just be a vegetarian?

 

[Yoboman]

There is a KFC literally 10 meters from the spot they are protesting. Dude probably just walked out eating his lunch

Semi-blind, crippled, beaks broken (they only burn off the tip of it), unable to move in any direction... Unable to mate. Can't discern shit with all the noise around them.

Even if you spare their meat and only eat their eggs you are still contributing to this inhumane practice.

Would love to change my lifestyle, but it ain't realistic at the moment. Maybe in a few years I'll have the privilege and first world leverage to enjoy a good life without animal produce. Until then...

 

[hariseldon]

KFC guy and butcher guys are the heros we need, with huge balls and magnificent testosterone levels. May their manly balls crush the soy out of these vegan cunts.

 

[Papa]

Be still, my beating heart.

Seriously, what did you do with him slug? Bring him back.

 

[Northeastmonk]

You can be a vegetarian and still eat animal products. That means you consume dairy. Milk cows are treated pretty bad. They live shorter lives, they’re forced to give up their babies right after birth, their milk is only intended for their babies, and a lot of times they collapse due to the stress of being milked.

I’m also against the fur trade and leather companies. There are more products designed around vegans. I have a vegan wallet made from vegan leather. Paul McCartney has a good documentary called “Glass Walls” and there’s another good one called “Earthlings”. Those two films really spoke to me and I decided to change my life. I don’t sit there condemning others, but I definitely have strong emotions about the way we treat animals.

Don't you have a declaration of how animals are kept in the US? The pictured system is completely illegal here In Germany now and for eggs, we have three remaining classes: Kept on the ground (up to nine chicken per square meter), free range keeping (similar rules as for keeping on ground, but additionally, the chicken can decide to go outdoors in a more spacious area), and organic farming. I would be in favour of also ruling out the first of those options, but I like that the consumer does have the choice of getting eggs / meat from animals that were kept under better conditions.
