Some context: This woman was trying to prohibit farmers from equipping their cows with bells, because she felt that they made too much noise. The population in this rural and traditional village did not like that, as they disliked people interfering with their traditions (especially since she was no swiss citizen). Some months later, she asked for naturalization, which was promptly denied by the popular vote in the village.

Wait does naturalization get tied to an election in Switzerland?

It depends on your municipality. In some they have local ballots where every candidate has to be approved. If they are denied because of racist (or similar) reasons, they can appeal the decision to a court. I believe the cow-bell-lady did that, but i dont remember the outcome.

Edit: did some research, she was granted citizenship recently. Here is an article about her (in english): https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/society/swiss-passport_dutch-troublemaker-finally-granted-swiss-citizenship/43143162

So she didn't object to killing cows? The problem was the bell making noise? Ok, denial justified.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I could see an argument for the noise being detrimental to the cows and her trying to pick her battles in a Swiss cattle farming town. I guess she still didn’t hit the mark.

Its a proven fact that cow bells cause hearing loss in cows. But we do a lot worse stuff to animals, so IDK. Does the reduced chance of getting mauled by a predator make the hearing damage worth it?

We should be grateful for every vegan trying to save animals/planet/... and generally leading their life in a way that does not fuck up everything for everyone else.

For every "annoying vegan" there are 100 annoying non-vegans complaining about them on the internet

and a million people who just don't eat meat because they think it's gross. They didn't feel the need to build a cult around it.

I was once at my dad's birthday party and he invited like 20 boomer aged people. The food was pretty absurd. There were like 6 kinds of meat. And not much else. I was the only one there not eating anything, i kinda was just there to say hi, play with my niece and nephew and then bolt. Oh the fun they had making jokes about vegans that evening.

The actual annoying people are the ones who complain about (often imaginary) annoying vegans. Same with the anti-apple crowd, they're 100 times more annoying than the people who they complain about. Same as people who call others snowflakes mostly being the actual snowflakes themselves.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Also this story is very old but gets reposted all the time always explicitly stirring anti-vegan snark with captions like "Least annoying vegan".

The meat industry is one of the worst polluters on the planet and they spend a lot of money pushing anti-vegan sentiment.
