A letter from a vegan neighbour asking a resident to close their window when cooking meat has sparked fierce debate.
A bizarre neighbourhood dispute has erupted in Perth’s northern suburbs.
And it’s over the smell of food …
On behalf of their vegan family members, a Burns Beach resident has written to their neighbour asking they close their window when cooking their “sickening” meat — PerthNow reports.
The upset writer presented the letter with “PLEASE TAKE SERIOUSLY” written on the front of the envelope containing the request.
The letter submitted to Hey Perth on Facebook begins: “Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking?
“My family are vegan — we eat only plant-based foods — and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset.
“We would appreciate your understanding — thanks. Sarah, Wayne, and kids.”
The letter has garnered hundreds of reactions from users on Facebook, primarily dumbfounded by what they’ve read.
“I bet her mouth starts watering when old mate mows his lawn and she gets a whiff of that deliciously fresh cut grass but!” one user wrote.
“I’m offended by the smell of the kale she always cooks,” another wrote.
Others said it was time to get their BBQs out despite the letter.
“Oh, man ... I’d be firing up the bbq and inviting the entire street,” one said.
“I would fire up the smoker and do a 12-hour brisket, with a sausage sizzle for lunch thrown in — entitled much,” said another.

Dear vegan neighbor, ESAD.
Your vegan farts smell far worse than my BBQ, so....NO!
My uncle used to do that. Used to sniff the pots and pans when we were kids and use his own to cook. Super zealot. He’s 92 and still unimaginably crazy the same way. But he’s also been declared mentally insane since too much LSD back in 1967...
His rights don’t end where her feelings begin!
How can you tell a Vegan?
You don’t, they tell you.
The sentence structure suggests that his brain needs more protein.
No doubt I would be tempted to fry up a big batch of bacon with a large fan pointed in the unfriendly direction.
Maybe the vegan neighbors should close their window? The sense of entitlement is ridiculous.
Could you please shut your side window?”
Maybe vegan boy should shut his.
I would write a two word response on that little note and deliver it back.......and it wouldn’t say happy birthday. 😏
Awww man, I would have to buy a few fans and have 6 small carnivore meals a day.
Why did she have kids? Doesn’t she know that humans are the worst polluters/animal habitat destroyers?
The solution here is sample. MOW YOUR LAWN WHILE BARBEQUING STEAKS AND BURGERS. The mowing will throw the lovely odor of plant based plants being mowed into the air.
Maybe the vegans should hold their breath until the smell goes away.
Your uncle had a lot of fun!!!
I know a vegan who just moved here. Very nice woman, smart too, but she’s a vegan. I invited her over for dinner. I was roasting a chicken for Thanksgiving and said, well, just come for the veggies. She said the smell of cooking meat would make her sick. Another vegan here doesn’t seem to have that prejudice.
Sorry, we are not cooking meat.
We are burning the parts we cut off our kids to trans them.
“PLEASE TAKE SERIOUSLY”
Or else what?
Dear Moron:
No!

Someone who is not your Mommy
