Speech is aimed at you specifically , then it becomes harassment and work place disruption.

Animals are getting driven out of their territory at a staggering rate. In my small town they took about 3 acres of heavy woods , some of the last left , and are busy tearing it down to build crap for humans. I've lived here 43 years and deer always congregated there.
I am not vegan but see no need to criticize one.
