A group of vegan activists, including notorious protester Tash Peterson, stormed a Melbourne KFC last week armed with fake blood, a megaphone, and a portable screen displaying gruesome animal cruelty videos.
Tash Peterson, founder of the ‘Tell Them the Truth’ campaign, led the demonstration against the popular fast-food chain with her typical shock tactics.
Standing in a circle of fake blood and splattered with the red liquid herself, Peterson deemed KFC staff and customers “animal abusers”.
Alongside footage of the stunt, Peterson wrote on social media:
The world’s longest and largest holocaust in history is happening right now in the meat, dairy and egg industries.
Non-human animals are enslaved in concentration prisons where they are subjected to rape, torture, abuse and mutilation before they’re sent to murder factories where they are brutally murdered as babies (gas chambers, electrocution, bolt gunning, and throat-slitting).
If you’re not vegan, you’re an animal abuser.
Abolish animal slavery, end the animal holocaust
PETA has previously faced criticism for similarly comparing the treatment of animals to the systematic murder of millions of Jewish people, as well as the enslavement of Africans.
The police, pictured below, were eventually called to the incident and protesters were asked to leave the premises.
Peterson’s move to Melbourne follows a Barring Notice served by Western Australia Police, leaving the Perth-local banned from all pubs and restaurants in WA over her antics.
If she steps foot in any WA venue where alcohol is sold, she will be trespassing and will face a fine of AUD $10,000 (£5,400).
In response, Peterson vowed to continue her protests elsewhere.
