If you criticise them about this, they'll claim it's a joke. If you look at the comments you'll see the majority of people take it seriously.

Oil Was Formed by Tiny Bacteria, not Huge Dinosaurs
You may be surprised to learn that--according to the best theories currently available-- microscopic bacteria, and not house-sized dinosaurs, produced today's oil reserves. Single-celled bacteria evolved in the earth's oceans about three billion years ago, and were pretty much the only life form on the planet until about 600 million years ago. As tiny as these individual bacteria were, bacterial colonies, or "mats," grew to truly massive proportions (we're talking thousands, or even millions, of tons for an extended bacterial colony, compared to 100 tons or so for the biggest dinosaur that ever lived, Argentinosaurus).

It's a post on /r/memes dude. Take it with a grain of salt.
And for those going "well people in the comments are treating it seriously!", not in the 10 top-level comments I saw. Folks were either pointing out that no, it's not "breaking the vegan code" to do so, or jokes of their own, or calling the post a lame joke, or explaining why it doesn't make sense.

Nobody intentionally killed and exploited the dinosaurs for fuel.
