Just weird

Written by 

This old mutt has always thought of the extremist group SAFE's top man Hans Kriek as pretty weird – and not just because of his crazy views on animals or his strange 'Dr Evil' accent.

His weirdness was confirmed in an old newspaper report about his and his equally weird wife's beliefs. According to the 2007 report, the Krieks are avowed vegans and were quoted in a story on vegansexuals (people who do not eat any meat or animal products and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals). "Christchurch vegan Nichola Kriek would not describe herself as vegansexual, but said it would definitely be a preference," the news article reported.
