The note, as shared on social media (Image: Hey Perth / Facebook)
A vegan family were left seething after their meat-eating neighbours ignored their pleas to stop hosting barbecues, forcing them to send a second, more threatening note.
The initial letter sparked quite a debate, with some deeming it a "reasonable" request, while others encouraged the carnivorous family to host another barbecue in defiance, arguing that no one should dictate what they do in their own garden. However, the vegans felt compelled to issue a "last warning" after their initial letters were disregarded by the meat-loving family.
In the first note, signed by 'Sarah, Wayne and kids', they wrote: "Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking please? My family are vegan (we eat only plant-based foods) and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset.
The letter was titled "last warning" (Image: Hey Perth / Facebook)
"We would appreciate your understanding."
However, this plea fell on deaf ears.
In their follow-up letter, the family adopted a different tone, accusing their neighbour of mocking them and being 'downright rude'.
The Mirror reports they claimed their neighbour deliberately caused distress.
The letter stated: "I raised my concerns of the smell of meat making my family feel sick and upset and you go and have a BBQ on Saturday night inviting lots of people, and you knew this would affect me and my family."

The family noticed their plea went viral, as one shared with them: "My friend Tina told me you took my letter to social media and it backfired on you which is 'just desserts'."
Ending their note, they added: "Please no more BBQs and please keep that window closed when cooking otherwise I'm going to report you and go to social media too."
Despite their wishes, the correspondence was shared again on the web, provoking a spectrum of opinions.
One individual exclaimed, "This is unbelievable, they want to tell you how to live in your own home," lambasting the situation.
Yet another countered: "They are both in the wrong! ! It's such a shame that this is our society now no commUNITY! !
#1 If you're asking someone to shut their window just shut your bloody own...
"#2 You can't tell another person how to live their lives or what to do, you make the changes for yourself.
#3 If your neighbour has asked you something kindly that you don't agree with address it respectfully like an adult."
