This is actually quite funny.
My exclusive club is fine, but I'm offended as hell by your exclusive club!

Where's my ten foot pole with which I would not touch this one?

On the whole, "Am I the ahole" thing, the herbivores might have had a case that the meat guy was the ahole (albeit my kind of ahole) had they not put the, "nobody but vegans allowed" clause in their club. If it's such a great lifestyle, why not promote it to people that might be interested?

I could care less if they had a exclusive group. It all depends on if they were trying to rub it in people's faces.
I assume since this is an HR approved club, that means they use the company websites and systems to advertise and let people know about events. That makes the exclusionary part seem unusual.

Hmph.
"Vegetarian" actually comes from an old Indian Native American expression meaning "Bad Hunter."
-
Been reports from vets on cats dying because their vegetarian owners decided their little carnivore should be a herbivore. If you wanted a rabbit than maybe you should have gotten a rabbit.
-
My guess?
This is simply a case of the veggieites having their sense of smug wokeness challenged and having their inherent hypocrisy pointed out to them.
And to them that's bullying and violence and cannot stand.
Company made a huge mistake by allowing them to make the club exclusive. That should not be allowed at all if it's being done with company time and/or infrastructure.

I don't see it as any different from the foreign language clubs we had when I was in high school back in the dark ages. There was a French Club, a Spanish Club, and IIRC a German Club. Sure they were discriminatory -- there would have been little point to someone who didn't speak French joining a club where the only language spoken was French. I don't know if the rules actually prevented non speakers from joining one of the language clubs, but this was in an age far removed from today's climate of people actively seeking
reasons excuses to be offended.
I don't see any problem with HR allowing a vegetarians club in the company. But I also don't see a problem with a corresponding carnivore club, and HR was right in allowing that activity. Equal opportunity, and all that. IMHO, the only a--h-- here is the woman who started the veggie club and who then complained to HR about the steakhouse club.

The only way I see a valid complaint is if "carnivore" types were going to the vegie club meetings and ordering steak to rub it in. I didn't see any comment that was going on. So I agree with that last part.
On the flip side, if a vegetarian went to the steakhouse club and ordered a veggie salad, I think the steak eaters would just laugh at them.
