Tash Peterson forewarns return to Fyre as WA Police ‘threaten’ to press charges for restaurant protest

Infamous vegan activist Tash Peterson has declared she hasn’t ruled out another storming of Fyre restaurant as she awaits charges for her recent disruptive protests at the northern suburbs venue.

Speaking to New Zealand radio host Heather du Plessis-Allan on Tuesday, Ms Peterson said would “possibly” return to the scene of her clashes with celebrity chef and pork specialist Johnnie Mountain, who banned all vegans from his establishment last month.

When asked if she was going after Mr Mountain in retribution for banning vegans at his restaurant, Ms Peterson told the radio host: “I will never stop speaking up for non-human animals. Whether I go back to his restaurant, that’s a possibility, but I’m always going to be targeting places that are contributing to the largest holocaust in history.”

Her protests at the restaurant with a handful of other local activists, including her boyfriend Jack Higgs who films her antics, involved displaying confronting audio and footage of what she claims is legal and widely practised commercial pig slaughter.

She denied she was targeting Mountain because of his controversial vegan ban.

“I’m there on behalf of the non-human animals who are subjected to rape, enslavement, torture, abuse and murder. It’s got nothing to do with him banning vegans,” she said.

“No, I didn’t (ever protest at his restaurant before the ban), I just leveraged that opportunity of him announcing he was banning vegans to bring light to the animal holocaust.

“I don’t really mind at all (that he assaulted me), it’s nothing in comparison to what non-human animals are subjected to.

“He’s not the victim in this situation and nor am I, it’s the non-human animals.”

Mr Mountain told The West Australian his lawyers were going to serve a “trespass notice” on Ms Peterson later this week in an attempt to deter her from future protests.
