Farming Tradeshow Ruffles Feathers
Toronto - The increasingly vocal Vegetable Rights Militant Movement (VRMM) staged a protest today at Toronto’s national farming tradeshow. What started out as a peaceful sing-a-long, with people dressed up as characters from the cartoon “Veggie Tales”, soon become a sea of violence when animal rights activists spray painted the cartoon character costumes, claiming they were made of animal products. A full-fledged riot ensued.
No one was fatally injured, but 13 people suffered minor injuries ranging from a broken rib to a black eye.
The Canadian Mounted Patrol was able to quickly contain the riot and separate the vegetarians and meatatarians from one another.
“We have a valid issue with the farming inudustry and it’s use of lethal weaponry during the harvest. Nobody has ever fought for vegetable rights until us and we won’t stop until our vegetable friends can lead the sort of peaceful life we should all expect on this earth,” says VRMM member Susan Richins. “We didn’t start this riot today but we won’t stand idly by while another group tries to force it’s views on us.”
The VRMM not only takes issue with farmer’s use of tractors, bailers, and other industrial farming equipment but is opposed generally to humans consuming fruits and vegetables as a food source for survival.
