However, police issued a warning, and Carden\u2019s lawyer threatened legal action, leading to the cancellation of the gathering.\n</p><p>Though many assumed Carden\u2019s complaints were motivated by opposition to meat-eating, her lawyer clarified that she has \u201cno objection to people eating meat and no objection to people having barbecues.\u201d\n</p><p>Cilla Carden\u2019s decision to take her neighbors to court has sparked mixed reactions.
