A Cambridge college has removed a 17th century painting from its dining hall because it offended vegans.

Hughes Hall received complaints from students who said the painting, depicting a pile of dead animals, was putting them off their food.

The Fowl Market, from the studio of Flemish artist Frans Snyders, features a striking collection of animals, including a boar and deer, caged hens and game birds strung up on hooks.

I can understand our formerly respected Ivy League succumbing to this cr*p. But Cambridge (and Oxford without doubt)? Come one, you’re better than tat.

Good grief, UK, you’re talking the homes of Newton, Hawking, and other greats. You have real scholars and real tradition.

Ditch the low-T idiots (send them to Harvard and Yale), and get back to being right at the top of world universities.

"Things were so icky in the Olden Days it's putting me off my spotted dick."

I'm trying to imagine what somebody like Sir Francis Drake would say about this one.

How long before vegan activists demand the guards at Buckingham palace have to change their hats because of the offense any reference to Beef eating may cause to vegans.

I’m on high doses of warfarin and must stay away from greens high in Vitamin K. Can I get paintings of green foods removed from cafeterias and replaced with MEAT?

Some Communist Totalitarian propagandist, maskarading as a ‘Professor’ has been busy with brainwashing activities. In Elizabeth I’d time they had methods of dealing with such people. And displaying what was removed publically. Modern Britain is full of wimps and snowflakes

Snowflake student: I am offended by this picture (or statue, or whatever).

Old-time administrator: Then don’t look at it.
Today’s administrator: Oh, sorry! It will be removed immediately.

But that doesn’t always hold true.

Conservative student: I am offended by the portrait of Che Guevara in the library.
Today’s administrator: You Nazi! Open your racist mouth again and you’ll be expelled from this university.

[on vegetarianism] I didn’t climb to the top of the effin’ food chain to eat carrots.
I get that Speedo on, it looks like a rubber band stretched over a head of cauliflower.
Have you ever seen a healthy-looking vegetarian? They look like 5h!t! They’re all gaunt and yellow. After a while, their bodies become intolerant of other things. I’ll give you an example: I was out to lunch with a comedian friend of mine, and later in the day he said, and I quote: “I feel nauseous and I have a headache. That soup I had must have had beef broth in it.” Your system’s kickin’ back broth? You’re a manly man, aren’t you?

Ron White is my hero. lol

I think the Beefeaters guard the Tower. The Buckingham palace guards wear the bearskin hats - I don’t think they were required to eat the bears first!
