A Cambridge college has removed a 17th century painting from the wall of its dining hall after students complained it was putting them off their food. Hughes Hall reportedly received complaints from vegetarians students about The Fowl Market, which shows a collection of dead animals hanging from hooks. The painting, by Flemish artist Frans Snyders, was on long-term loan from the university’s Fitzwilliam Museum but has now been taken down. It has been replaced in the dining room by a work by Damian Hirst.A spokesman for the museum told the Daily Telegraph: “Some diners felt unable to eat because it
Why don’t they curtain off an area for these puzzies and allow the sane students to eat in peace.

Somehow, this idiocy of removing anything even remotely offensive to intolerant lefties (a conservative vegan, if such an animal exists, wouldn’t be bothered by images of freshly killed game) has got to stop!

Addendum to previous post: Since their constitutions are so weak, vegans should never travel through Chinatowns where the marketers hang up poultry by their necks. I’d like to see the vegans try to make the Chinese give up their millennia's-old food customs!

How can you tell that someone is a vegan?
Don't worry they'll tell you.

Every college needs to have a required course on Developing Resiliency Skills.

Cowardly, foolish, ridiculous people who would die very soon in any sort of a normal environment. They can only play these foolish games in a modern, overprotected, overpampered, wimpy society which panders to their every foolish whim.

My opinions:
The painting is very old and interesting. It is pretty gross for a dining hall.
The students have far too much power.

If a student were to complain about the nude figures in the artwork of the churches, they would be told they are unenlightened and they would be ignored or more probably held up as an example of backwardness and intolerance. I think it is unenlightened to be so backward as to not recognize our own carnivore history and culture.

I am offended by apples due to the Biblical symbolism . Therefore, all paintings with apples must be removed from public places.

What a bunch of delicate blossoms we have in our higher educational institutions. What bunches of pretty posies with such delicacy of digestion that a painting puts them off their brussel sprouts and salads. Perhaps the carnivores in the school are equally put off by being subjected to the sights and sounds of bunny food such as are consumed by the delicate daffodils around them. Yet one hears no complaining by these vicious politically incorrect beasts.

First of all, how nice it is that the college can have a painting of this caliber hanging in their dinning hall on loan from a museum. Sure beats the crap that's hangs from most college dining halls. However, hanging such a painting with such subject matter in a dinning hang filled with college students seems odd.

My fault for not checking the source. Whatever the merits of this story, they were wiped out by the screaming left agenda of Yahoo. Who the heck is the neocommunist creep who ran that company into the far left propaganda ditch and when will there be a news story about the liars of the left who control so much of the information in our country?

I, for one, am getting tired of a group of one or two snowflakes overruling 1,000 others. DON"T eat there if you are offended. DON"T look at the Christmas tree. There are a million ways to avoid this if you don't want to see it but leave it for those of use who do enjoy it.

I wonder if any of these little snowflakes know how many cute little furry critters (rabbits, chipmunks, voles, mice) are killed by the machines which plant and harvest their beloved vegetables.

Remind me again why we don't spank children ? Oh yeah, Dr Spock.
We have become a nation of whiners and bed wetters. Protesters make the rules today.
I need 3 feet of personal space. Do not come near me.

#21, Dr. Spock came up with much of his naive thinking before he got married later in life and had children. He later retracted some of his theories, stating "sometimes you just have to swat the little brats!" I read this a long time ago, and I believe the story is true.

The painting dates back to the early 1600s. Can't they just once tell these snowflakes to grow up and appreciate something that took talent to create?
