Joe Hildebrand has made a “joke” about “killing two vegans with one stone” during a segment on his show Studio10. He was then applauded for his remark and it was swept under the rug! We want the producers to either make him publicly acknowledge and apologise for his remarks or boot him from the show! We aim to prove that these remarks, were they aimed at a different community such as a religious group, would’ve been handled differently and Mr. Hildebrand would’ve been forced to be held accountable, but since it is a minority group such as the vegan society, it was laughed off as no big deal! Therefor we aim to show everyone that making “jokes” such as the one Mr. Hildebrand made, aimed towards anyone, should not and will not be tolerated by us!

Was a comment like that really necessary,. Seriously...... In 2018. I don't think so. If you need to put others down to get a laugh you cannot be very good at your profession.

Making a "joke" about being violent towards a group of people...all because those people practice NON-VIOLENCE towards other living beings is just unacceptable in this day and age. Its 2018. Maybe Joe and all the other people on that show that laughed...should educate themselves and watch a little documentary called Dominion...maybe they will have a better understanding of why vegans will not contribute to the animal agriculture industry. Those words would be called hate speech if you were talking about any other minority.

Unacceptable. What a terrible thing to say. Young kids watch this and you've just made a judgement that they will think is ok. It's not. Terrible channel 10. Not good enough Joe. Wnough to have me change channels if thats their acceptable comments about killing 2 of anyone

Joe needs to apologise. He doesn't realise the abuse Vegans, especially kids in school cop on a daily basis.

If this was some stupid joke making fun of religion they'd be in court right now - but making fun of vegans is the same thing

Appalled that this was allowed to happen without repercussion. It was a suggestion as part of a movement trying to reduce the amount of systemic violence in our world, and that's worthy of mockery?? If this was 100 years ago, it'd be equivalent to mocking those who thought women should have a vote. Shame on you, Studio 10.

Joe Hildebrand should publicly apologise for his hateful and incitement of violence comment. This should not be tolerated by the network.

Killing anyone should never be promoted. In actual fact, people who put themselves up against the majority and advocate for peace, non-violence, equity, respect, freedom, safety and wellbeing in the form of veganism must be applauded and supported.
