It didn’t say every single one of them were angry, just that vegans are. A few thousand vegans are in fact, vegans being angry about it.

Semantics, it's a tiny portion of the population even if everyone single of those people agreed with the statement made. 

But it's part of a much larger issue of purported news sites pretending entire groups are up in arms about some kind of trivial issue so they can pander to whatever group of people doesn't like the first group. It's not even lazy journalism, it's literally making [BLEEP] up about people getting unreasonably so they can get other people unreasonably upset in the hope of driving a few more clicks to their own website.
