If you've tried talking to her & she continues this very insensitive behavior, or even gets mad @ you for "criticizing" her, accuses you of having "no sense of humor" or "not being able to take a joke" it's probably in your best interest to either get a new room-mate or another place to live ASAP.
Every time we drove anywhere, one of my former room-mates thought it was hysterically funny to point out animals who had been run over & scream out "Hey look, road meat!" & if it made me start to tear up she would start blaming the people who let their dogs & cats outdoors unsupervised (except when it was a wild animal, then she'd just laugh @ me). Same person was also saying quite a bit of major b.s. behind my back-- and this 'friend' was living w/ me b/c I'd have felt guilty to say no when she asked.
My point is, if someone gets her jollies by hurting other people she's probably gonna find more than 1 way of doing it. Hopefully your roomie will be more understanding after yu've talked. Sorry you're going through this & I hope it gets resolved.

I think you need to talk to him/her and discuss boundaries. Sometimes people think they are being funny and cute and don't realize that after awhile it gets annoying.
She may not be trying to sabotage you, she could just think that her behavior is acceptable, especially if you allowed, encouraged, or accepted it in the beginning.
Sometimes sitting down and talking it through goes a long way. Just tell her that you are getting a little tired of the "slaughtered meat" comments, and placing raw meat on your vegetarian area of the fridge is not just rude, but unsanitary.
If she continues it may be time to find a new roommate that respects your choices.

Sounds like it's time for a new roomate. Let her know that if this continues she will be going solo. You shouldn't have to put up with this behavior and if she is just goofing around I'm sure she will stop if you make it known that it's bothing you so much and if it continues she isn't a friend and therefore shouldn't be trusted as a roomate.

Leave the raw meat in a ziplock baggie under clothes in her clothing drawer...deep. By the time she finds it and asks questions just tell her you thought she might like to know what it does inside her stomach. Maybe throw in a bag of carrots too to show her the difference. =) then ask her which she'd rather eat and which is probably a healthier/safer source of food?

Assuming that you can't just chuck her out (which you should have done by now lol) try throwing the raw meat at her or putting it in her bed and see how she likes it.
That is just plain dangerous.
But... this sounds like a joke. I hope so anyway!! :)

Seriously, your roommate sounds like a pain. Maybe it's time to find a new one. No one should be living with anyone that completely disrespects their life decisions. As long as you are not being nasty to her about eating meat, it sounds like she is the one with the problem. Give her the boot!

Write her a nice note. Let her know that it is bothering you. Tell her you found it funny at first, but now you'd like her to stop. Tell her, "I respect your choice to eat meat, can you please respect my choice not to?" Try to make it firm, but kind, as you don't want the rest of your time living together to be awkward. Maybe make her some cookies too.

I find brocolli particularly intimidating, put spears of that in her bed.
Throw in a few sprouts for good measure.
I'd say it was time to ask her to stop, be clear, tell her you are not joking and you are entitled to your belief without prejudice.
If she carries on, change roommate. Hide the current one under the floorboards.

Put the severed head of a lettuce in her bed ;).
Seriously, just talk to her about it and if she can't respect you it's time to find another roomate who can.

You absolutely need to dump her. I'll give her to benefit of the doubt and suggest, like the others, to try talking to her. But, by the sounds of it, she sounds like a thick-headed, ignorant, closed-minded person and will only make it worse for you when you talk to her, which you don't deserve.
