'Upset' vegan sends letter to neighbour over meat cooking smells in confronting note

A family of vegans hit out at their neighbours over meat smells coming from their apartment.

The 'upset' group took their frustrations and wrote a note to the neighbours asking for them to close the window whenever they are cooking meat.

This is because the smell leaves the plant-based family feeling 'sick and upset.' But not everyone thought the request was reasonable after reading the note the family sent, reports the Mirror.

The hand-written plea was delivered in an envelope marked with the words 'please take seriously' and has since been widely shared on social media.

Inside was a short letter explaining the Australian family's predicament. It read: "Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking please.

"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."

The post has since amassed hundreds of comments as viewers debated who was in the wrong. "Now that's some entitlement," one person wrote.

Several also suggested the neighbour should go out of their way to annoy the family. One responder said: "Open that window right up."

Another added: "They should move out if they don't like the smell of meats."

"That's crazy !! Want to organise a barbecue? Invite most of Perth? I'll come," asked a second. But others have defended the family's approach.

"At least they were polite," read one reply. Responding to the backlash to the letter, another said: "Why all the nasty comments? I'm a meat eater, but she was polite and respectful in her request and it's not hard to close a window.

"Why not just be a considerate neighbour and close the window, rather than turning it into a big issue?"
