Tash Peterson, a controversial vegan activist who was kicked out of a cattle-judging competition after being tackled, has been prosecuted.
In 2021, Peterson broke into Perth’s Royal Show, disturbing a competition for judging cattle by leaping over the barrier and yelling, “These beautiful and innocent beings are going to be horribly killed and shot in the head!”
An angry farmer then rough handled the 27-year-old and expelled her from the display as horrified bystanders, including children, looked on.
Peterson later departed Western Australia, but on Monday she came back and barricaded herself in a cattle judging ring at the Perth Royal Show.
She claimed to have disrupted the disgusting “Royal” Agricultural Show” with “fellow animal rights activist Aly” and her social media followers.
According to Peterson, the occasion “glamourizes animal slavery, maltreatment, and murder.”
According to the police, both activists have now been accused of trespassing and engaging in disorderly conduct in public or within the view or hearing of any person in a public place.
According to Peterson, “We locked onto the judging ring where slaves are graded depending on how appetizing their bodies seem.”
These sectors of the economy and the Royal Show have presented animal agriculture as glamorous, moral, and humanitarian.
“Animals that are not humans are not goods, food, slaves, machines, or things. They are humans just like us, with personalities, families, the yearning to live in safety, and the capacity to experience suffering.
It happens a year after the glitzy Instagram and OnlyFans star, who built her career pulling off high-profile public pranks, was violently assaulted during another protest at the festival.
Ms. Peterson interrupted the event last year to preach about a “animal genocide,” according to the video that was released at the time to her social media platforms.
But an angry farmer grabbed her by the scruff of her shorts and dragged her out of the animal area.
Peterson afterwards became enraged when the farmer was not arrested for his behavior.
She declared at the time, “In my protest, I went into an arena where cattle were being objectified and assessed based on their bodies to be utilized for eating of flesh.”
‘Due to the force used to raise me up by my pants, exposing my buttocks, and the severe slamming of my body into the fence, this assault resulted in bruises all over my body and in my genital area.
The policeman said that he had to use reasonable force to eject me from the arena because I was trespassing (I have not been accused of trespass for this protest).
He explained to me that I was being taken out of the animals’ reach since they are dangerous and quickly spooked.
The 1995 Australian hit movie Babe, about an orphaned farm pig who aspires to be a sheep dog, made the 28-year-old say she was turned off to eating meat.
She is well-known for her outspoken protests, and earlier this month, in Sydney’s bustling Pitt Street Mall, she collapsed in a human-sized meat tray while nearly naked, covered in blood, and wrapped in plastic like a slab of meat.
According to Ms. Peterson, her OnlyFans account, which she started last year to fund her desire to devote all of her efforts to animal activism, brings her $40,000 each month.
