But in a slightly more light-hearted incident a vegan influencer lost nothing but his ethics when he was attacked by a dog, claiming he claimed to turn his back on the diet and went straight to McDonald's afterward.
Mariano de la Canal told Argentine media that he headed straight to the fast food chain after the attack left him "feeling betrayed by the animal kingdom".
Speaking to Argentine newspaper Infobae he said: "I stopped being a vegan because a dog bit me, so I got angry and said, 'I'm campaigning for the animals, and then one of them comes and bites me'. That's when I stopped being a vegan.
"The truth is that I campaigned for all that, veganism, vegetarianism, all that."
"But a dog bit me on the street and I said: 'Wow, I'm trying a lot for them and one of their pack comes and bites me!' So no, I went to McDonald's, automatically."
