   A vegan man tried to shame a vegan woman online for buying a child a dairy   
   ice cream cone, only to have it backfire.   
      
   Popular UK-based vegan blogger itsallzara tweeted that she bought an ice   
   cream for a little girl who was crying because she did not have enough   
   money to buy one herself.

    Pulled up to my driveway to find a little girl crying, she didn’t have   
   money for the ice cream van like her friends did so I gave her enough   
   money to get herself a nice big ice cream with sauce, sprinkles and a   
   flake. She was so happy (and soon had ice cream round her mouth)

   85 people are talking about this   
      
   Twitter user 7AnthonyDagher7, identified as Anthony Dagher on his page,   
   saw the tweet and felt the need to reach out to the woman and shame her   
   for her actions.   
      
   “I am just sending this to ask if the ice cream van was selling vegan ice   
   cream, which would be surprising,” Dagher started in his direct message,   
   before suggesting “if the ice cream was the typical kind, which I   
   generally assume is the case, it definitely would have been best to help   
   the girl in some other way.”   
      
   Itsallzara responded, “Mate, I’m vegan, my mums vegan and my boyfriend is   
   vegan I’m not about to push the message onto a crying child.”   
      
   While that could have been the end of the exchange, Dagher instead took   
   pictures of the messages, along with images of the woman’s social media   
   pages, and posted them on his Twitter and Reddit looking for support.   
      
   “I usually do not do this, but I feel like this is appropriate to post   
   since this person is claiming to be a vegan even though she admitted to   
   buying non-vegan ice cream for someone else, defended what she did when I   
   spoke with her privately (hoping that would make her less likely to be   
   defensive, though I should not have had to worry about that) about it even   
   though I was respectful, and blocked me rather than admitting I was right   
   and that she should not have bought the non-vegan ice cream for that   
   child,” he ranted on Twitter.   
      
   “To my vegan followers, I know at least those of you who she is following   
   should be able to send her a private message here. Just in case that is   
   not possible, one of my screenshots shows her Instagram account. I do not   
   want her to be attacked. I just want her to see she was wrong, which I   
   hope enough vegans talking with her will accomplish. Please let me know if   
   that happens,” he wrote in multiple posts on Twitter.   
      
   However, Dagher was met with hostility even in the vegan community.
