Vegan Selene Nelson Celebrates The Death Of 7 People.

[Deskdiary]

The woman who made public the jokey response from William Sitwell following her email to him touting for business has been discovered to have tweeted "good" in 2015 upon hearing the news that 7 people had died in a bull-run in Spain.

So let's get this right. This woman becomes all indignant with self-righteous victimhood over a joke thereby confirming the precious and humourless stereotype of vegans, but celebrates the death of 7 people.

Surely this is her supposed moral high ground well and truly lost, isn't it?

Couldn’t agree more with you DD.

Get a man the sack for a joke but when a real situation occurs rejoice in people’s death.

Her foux outrage earlier now just makes the term ‘vegan terrorists ‘ more believable.

Been mentioned in the earlier 'vegan' thread.

More fool people who capitulate to virtue signallers. They’re never as squeaky clean as they’d have us believe.

takes some energy to go over someone's tweets over the last five years innit ?

I thought seven was a bit much
BUT seven in August 2015 - computer voice - sorry

plenty of people on AB who'd hail deaths like those as deserving a Darwin Award. And plenty who don't like those who abuse animals.

Surely she was simply pointing out that occasionally the bull comes out on top during this barbaric sport in which people delight in the cruelty meted out to the bulls? By doing this she 'confirms the precious and humourless stereotypes of vegans' ... does she? I don't think she does. The vegans I know are neither precious nor humourless...but I suspect there are those (Mail readers?) who may believe what they are told. After all where is the humour in watching cruelty to animals?

If you are going to indulge in activities where there is a risk of death and you die.....well, shrug.....and if that activity abuses animals well double shrug......I don't rejoice in those deaths but I certainly don't care.

I couldn't give a flying about those that get killed when they involve themselves in the torturing of animals.

That said she's a *** hypocrite.

[maggiebee]

So she tweeted "good" three years ago? As woolfgang has already said, if you participate in these barbaric "sports" and support cruelty to animals then what do you expect? I don't celebrate their deaths but don't mourn them either.

i abhor bull fighting and running with the bulls, it's an incredibly poor show what human beings call entertainment. However i wouldn't want anyone or any animal killed for this so called sport.

[pastafreak]

While it is right to wish the end of blood sports, and to claim "live by the sword and die by the sword", it's wrong to seem to celebrate those who do die that way. It seems to show gloating, callousness and taking some sort of moral high ground.

[Deskdiary]

Let's take it as a given the bull fighting is not a nice practice, but that's not the point.

The point is she likes that people died. Tweeting "good" removes any ambiguity (not that there was any) that she likes that people were killed. I find that a pretty bloody callous thing to announce to the world.

But send her a jokey email and she goes nuts, makes it public, and results in somebody 'resigning' (which means Waitrose told him to resign or be sacked) from a job he'd had for 16 years.

She needs to understand perspective.

Yes.

As I said on another thread, I'm glad that editor lost his job. Not because of his attitude towards vegans, but because he gave a childish, stupid, and rude reply to a reasonable request.

Totally agree with the 9:42 post.
