Vegans protested his restaurant, so chef carved up a deer leg in the window

The vegans planned their protest for the middle of the restaurant's busy dinnertime shift.

The group of animal rights activists were incensed that Antler Kitchen & Bar, a locavore restaurant in Toronto that says it highlights regional ingredients, served foie gras and farmed meat "meant to run in the wild." So a group of them stood in front last week chanting "you've got blood on your hands," and holding a banner that read MURDER in hot pink lettering.

Then came the counterprotest....

Michael Hunter, a chef and co-owner of the restaurant appeared in its window with a raw deer leg and a sharp knife, when he began to carve up the meat in full view of the protesters, some of whom later said they were disturbed for days, according to news reports
