UFC commentator, comedian, BJJ and Taekwondo black belt Joe Rogan hunts, kills, butchers, cooks, and eats his own meat, joining thousands of other converts in the hunting movement“Eat what you kill”. He has been outspoken about his beliefs appearing in various hunting media.

Rogan’s beliefs has angered Vegan and animal right’s activists including a Vegan 291 lbs Stongman champion that has openly threatened the BJJ black belt.

Baboumian has been a vegetarian since 2005, and became a vegan in 2011. In November 2011 Baboumian became the new face of a campaign by the animal-rights organization PETA, advocating a vegan diet.
