Seems like the below prick Shane Ervine is the one that start it
A Bellevue butcher is learning first hand that promoting your business through Facebook can make you vulnerable to more than bad reviews.
The owner of Golden Steer Choice Meats just wanted to expand his presence on social media like so many other companies do. But the Facebook reviews became so vicious, he realized the problem was more than just a few angry customers.
John Dick said when he updated the business' Facebook page a few weeks ago, the store was enjoying 5-star endorsements. This week, the business' rating plummeted.
"I'm like 'Wow, what did I do?'" said Dick. "I must have made someone really mad. It was just a bunch of one star ratings by seven or eight different people."
Kristina Foley, along with other friends and customers, defended the butcher online and realized most of the critics were from out of state. The reviewers seemed to be part of an organized attack with a purpose.
"When you looked at their pages, they're all vegans," said Foley. "And I'm like that's not fair. You need to let people know your personal agenda is your personal agenda."
It turns out those vegans had a beef with anyone trying to call them out. They started posting disturbing photos on the store's Facebook timeline, then targeted the customers, like Jenny Lona. She said they reposted her photos, commenting she must look old from eating meat.
"Kind of creeped me out more than anything," said Lona.
Foley showed us they even went as low to repost photos of her son, calling him "inbred."
"I was instantly upset that Facebook wouldn't pull it," Foley said. "As long as it doesn't go outside their community standards, they can post whatever they want."
"My employees' children, my friends' children, when it went to that, it wasn't about Golden Steer anymore," said Dick.
His customers are showing their support online and in the store as well, trying to outweigh the haters one tenderloin at a time.
The butcher isn't a stranger to these types of attacks. Animal rights activists vandalized Golden Steer Choice Meats repeatedly in 1996.
Bellevue police say the people who are posting the disturbing photos may be breaking the state's cyber-stalking law. They encouraged the owner to file a police report, and Dick plans on doing so.
Just went on this page and gave them 5 stars and noticed there was 1.5k others who did the same thing. Many are coming to his defense and pointing out the hypocrisy of this.
Ugh! That just pisses me off! My good buddy's wife is vegan, but she would NEVER do something like that. Be vegan. Good for u, but let everyone else be whatever they are without trying to disrupt their lives. I feel so bad for those ppl that were harassed!
