Jeremy Clarkson has responded after PETA protestors staged a stunt at his pub
TV star and farmer Jeremy Clarkson has responded after his pub The Farmer’s Dog was targeted by vegan activists who set a realistic-looking dog alight on a barbecue. PETA activists set up shop outside the Oxfordshire watering hole, which prides itself on only serving British produce. Although Jeremy has never publicly responded to the charity’s protests in the past, on this occasion, he felt the need to speak out.
The Clarkson’s Farm star issued a warning as he informed the protestors, who he described as “vegetablists”: “Humans only eat plants, or animals that live on plants. We do not eat animals that eat meat and that’s why we don’t eat dogs.” Telling them to “get a job” he added a sarcastic warning saying: “…If you turn up at the pub again, be advised, as a vegan it is perfectly acceptable and safe to put you in one of the ovens and serve you up with some nice potatoes and a couple of buttered carrots.”
He made the remarks in his column in The Sun as he recalled the same protestor had previously tried to make a statement by invading the parade ring at his inaugural Farm Fest at Stoneleigh Park in May 2026.
On that occasion, he dressed in a giant inflatable broccoli costume and ran in front of Jeremy’s tractor.
“It wasn’t a very dignified protest,” Jeremy wrote, explaining that the security had picked him up by one leg and thrown him over the fence.
The vegan activists set up a fake barbecue along with a sign that read “Wouldn’t eat the Farmer’s Dog? Why eat a pig? Go vegan!” along with a realistic stuffed dog on top,” on Wednesday August 26.

PETA Senior Campaign Manager Kate Werner said of the campaign: “Pigs are playful, intelligent individuals who feel pain and fear, love their families, and value their own lives, just like dogs do.
“Clarkson says he’s ‘always been fond of pigs’, and he – and other patrons – ought to put that fondness into practice and leave pigs off their plates. Because there’s no more reason to eat a pig than a dog.”
PETA has targeted Clarkson in their high-profile stunts several times before. Last December, they gifted him a “Christmassacre” jumper, which featured a Christmas tree made up of slaughtered pigs and covered in red to look like blood.
