<\/p>\nAn angry vegan neighbor hand-wrote a note after they smelled a woman cooking meat in her house. The woman had left her window open, and the vegan neighbors could not help but smell the \u201csickening\u201d smell of cooking flesh. Now, the note that the vegan neighbor wrote to the woman has sparked a furious debate online about whether or not it is reasonable for the vegan to ask the neighbor to stop cooking meat or at least to close the window when she does.<\/p>\n
The note, which was written by hand, includes the message to \u201cplease take seriously\u201d and that the note carries a very \u201cimportant message.\u201d Sarah has shared the note on social media. She lives in the Australian neighborhood north of Perth in the suburb of Burns Beach.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, Neighbor,\u201d the vegan\u2019s note starts. \u201cCould you please shut your side window when cooking, please? My family is vegan (we eat only plant-based food), and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset. We would appreciate your understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
The note was signed \u201cSarah, Wayne, and kids.\u201d They are all vegan in Sarah\u2019s household and want the neighbor to stop leaving their window open when they are busy cooking meat products.<\/p>\n
The note was shared on social media and caused a strong divide among readers.<\/p>\n
Some people shared their responses to the vegan\u2019s angry letter, writing the following:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d understand if they were smoking cigarettes and the smoke and smell was spreading and affecting the family\u2019s health,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cBut not liking the smell of meat, this isn\u2019t really a good reason to ask someone to close their windows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does she do when she takes the kids to the park and people are cooking BBQs? Ask them to stop cooking. Audacity,\u201d another reader wrote.<\/p>\n
One social media user suggested that vegans are living in another dimension entirely.<\/p>\n
\u201cDisregard the letter, as there is no such thing as a real vegan,\u201d the reader said. \u201cAll vegetable farming has a massive impact on the land and kills thousands of small mammals and birds.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, there were some people who felt that the vegan\u2019s request of the meat eater was a reasonable one.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like this was a genuinely polite letter, and it\u2019s true the smell of meat is overpowering,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cIt would be nice to see some respect for your neighbors and not publicly trying to shame them for holding strong ethical morals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMost people are downright nasty to people who don\u2019t eat animals,\u201d another person wrote on social media.<\/p>\n
Another replied that: \u201cNo one has the right to tell you how to live in your own home!!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBe vegan. Eat meat. Each to their own!\u201d one reply stated. \u201cNo one has the right to push views on the other or expect to be able to control what they do. If she doesn\u2019t like it, close her own window. Simple.\u201d<\/p>\n
