Vegan activist Tash Peterson has been kicked out of a KFC restaurant in Melbourne after staging a protest there.
The 26-year-old entered the fast food establishment with several other protestors. She sprayed fake blood on the floor and counters of the restaurant, as well as on herself. Peterson told onlookers that they are supporting animal abuse by supporting KFC.
During the protest – which lasted around 10 minutes before police arrived – protestors held up a screen playing footage from factory farms. The group played loud audio of the cries of distressed farm animals.
Through a megaphone, Peterson urged diners and staff to go vegan. “Three trillion innocent animals are brutally murdered every year in the meat, dairy, and egg industries,” she said.

“If this was happening to dogs, you’d all be here on my side calling me a hero,” the protestor added.
“But just because they’re other species, you completely ignore the fact that they are still sentient beings and they deserve to live freely from harm.”
Tash Peterson controversy
Peterson’s pro-vegan campaigns have landed her in hot water in the past. Last month, Peterson was served a notice banning her from every licensed premises in Western Australia. The ban includes pubs, clubs, and restaurants. If she breaches the notice, she could face a fine of $10,000.
Last year, Peterson was banned from major Australian supermarket chains Woolworths and Coles after holding multiple protests there.

Are you talking about KFC or Tash Rowland … if you are talking about KFC, yea they are trash and idiots who care nothing for anyone or anything, pure evil and on their last straw of crime, if you are speaking about the Amazing Animal rights hero Tash, you are probably stupid old small minded boomer with nothing but fear for a brain… stfu and go back to your 9-5 tiny peon.
that’s fucked up. banning her from all licensed premises without a documented problem of alcoholism sounds very fucking illegal.
keep their voice heard tash!!! you’re a hero to the countless species that lack a voice.
fuck those corporations and their empires of lies and suffering.
and fuck that other commentor… seems rather heartless and lacking in the empathy you’ve clearly shown for the non-human Nations Of Earth; our true allies; Against whom we’ve committed the worst atrocities imaginable. Hitler’s holocaust had nothing on modern factory farming.
