I'm concerned about what identifying the cult killers as vegan is doing to the already negative view of vegans.
I found this in a Farhad Manjoo opinion piece in the NYTimes.
One survey found that vegans are viewed more
negatively than atheists and immigrants, and are only slightly more tolerated
than drug addicts.
