A butcher shop in Little Burgundy was the target of an act of vandalism by angry vegetarians.

Charles Bizeul, owner of Boucherie Grinder on Notre-Dame St. West, said he arrived at his store on Wednesday morning to find someone had thrown bricks wrapped with notes at the window of his store.

The notes called the butcher shop “hideous” and said it “long necessitated an intervention” and called on Grinder to close down.

“We came in to work and there were bricks that were thrown at the window with a clear message saying it was disgusting and not good for the environment,” said Bizeul.

A group calling themselves ‘Totally Vegetarian Future’ has claimed responsibility.

Bizeul said he’s rarely had any neighbours object to his business and nothing like this has ever happened, and that strong reactions are rare.

"Sometimes it happens, like maybe one time a girl came in and she just say ‘That's disgusting’ and she just leaves, but like usually they just don't come in. When they don't like it, you know, we respect you, respect us, that's it. Like I don’t think we’re doing something stupid here. We're working with local farms, local products,” said Bizeul.

The vandals' message ended by saying that as of now, more and more butcher shops will be vandalized.
