Gatis Lagzdiņš
Gatis Lagzdiņš (born 27 November 1989[citation needed]) better known as Sv3rige and Goatis is a Latvian YouTuber, conspiracy theorist, Flat Earther, and anti-vegan activist.[1] He is known for eating raw meat at vegan events, which includes a raw pig's head,[2] as well as hanging a dead bird from his neck while eating the raw meat of a wild rodent.[1]
In July 2019 Lagzdiņš was fined £400, along with Deonisy Khlebnikov, who was fined £200, for publicly eating a dead squirrel outside of the Soho Vegan Food Market on 30 March 2019. The prosecution identified the act as causing distress to members of the public, including young children.[3] News media coverage at the time also reported that Lagzdiņš, at the age of 16, had armed himself with two knives and attacked four classmates at his school in Latvia in 2006. Gatis was identified through video and images shortly after eating a pig's head at the VegFest vegan festival by Ms. Parsla Kopmane, who was the headmistress of the secondary school, Ventspils Gymnasium No. 1, both at the time of the stabbings in 2006 as well as at the time of Gatis's protest at the Soho Vegan Market in 2019. All of the four classmates survived their wounds.[1] [4] Lagzdiņš was forced to leave the school after the incident.[1] He is also known through online videos for a variety of controversial and incendiary social theories.[1]
