Thousands of people have said they would attend a BBQ in the neighborhood of a vegan who recently sued her neighbors over meat and fish smells.
Cilla Carden, who lives in a town in Australia, took her neighbors to court saying the smells and noises they create have seriously damaged her way of life, according to 9 News. Australian courts have thrown out Carden’s suit despite multiple appeals.
A Facebook page created in the backlash to Carden’s suit is advertising a community BBQ in her neighborhood on Oct. 19. So far, nearly 4,000 people have said they would attend.
“Cilla Carden has a problem with her neighbors cooking meat on their BBQ, because she’s a vegan. Recently taking them to the Supreme Court!” the page’s description says. “Don’t let Cilla destroy a good old Aussie tradition, join us for a community BBQ in protest of her actions, and help Cilla Carden GET SOME PORK ON HER FORK.”
Vegans are not invited, the description says.
Carden began her court fight against her neighbors over the smell of outside cooking and cigarettes, as well as the sound of local children playing basketball.
“They’ve put it there so I smell fish, all I can smell is fish. I can’t enjoy my backyard, I can’t go out there,” she said. “It’s been devastating, it’s been turmoil, it’s been unrest, I haven’t been able to sleep.”
