“You kill vegetarian vampires with a steak to the heart”

A vampire is killed by a stake to the heart. There’s a vegetarian version in the riddle:
 
Q: How do you kill a vegetarian vampire?
A: Drive a steak through his heart.

 
The joke was cited in the Cincinnati (OH) Enquirer in 1969. “Kill vegetarian vampires with a steak to the heart” was posted on Twitter on August 22, 2013. The “vegetarian vampire” joke has been printed on several images.
 
“Why don’t vegans take risks?”/“Because their life could be at steak” is another “steak”/“stake” pun.
     
     
28 May 1969, Cincinnati (OH) Enquirer, “Wednesday Whatnots” by Ollie M. James, pg. 7, col. 2:
AND HERE is Arch McKnap with a report on a vegetarian vampire. They finally killed it by driving a steak through its heart.
