Tash Peterson, a controversial vegan campaigner, has left her own state of Western Australia and is now living in Melbourne.
The 28-year-old Peterson now intends to bring her weird vegan demonstrations to the nation’s second-largest metropolis.
The social media sensation posted a video with her boyfriend Jack Higgs on Instagram on Wednesday morning to herald her arrival in the southern metropolis.
Ms. Peterson stated that she intended to continue her advocacy work in Victoria, starting on Wednesday with a demonstration against the wool industry in Melbourne’s central business district.
She said on social media, “We are finally in Melbourne after a very long journey, because our flight yesterday morning was cancelled.”
“We are here, we slept for two or three hours, and we are going to protest right now.”
As part of her costume to bring attention to the “sheep that are mistreated and murdered in the wool industry,” the activist was dressed in a white bathrobe and had red marks on her face.
Later that day, in Melbourne’s main retail district, the shocking influencer was spotted with two other women, all wearing topless clothing and holding banners denouncing the usage of wool.
Ms. Peterson gained notoriety when she protested against people eating meat and using animals for clothing by walking about her hometown of Perth without a top.
She once painted herself as a cow in front of McDonald’s while going topless.
She donned a G-string and claimed she had painted over her chest with her own menstrual blood at another protest at a Louis Vuitton store last year.
In a further notorious stunt, she donned white overalls, gumboots, and an abattoir worker costume at an Outback Jacks eatery in Perth last month.
The well-known activist barged into the eatery and ordered customers to stop eating meat while playing recordings of animals being butchered.
Customers resisted her, and one of them manhandled her.
She made an unannounced appearance last Sunday at the Perth Zoo while carrying a megaphone and claiming that zoo animals were “suffering immensely.”
She objected after the beloved zoo elephant Tricia passed away. A visitor to the zoo attempted to remove the protester’s megaphone, thus it was expected that there would be some retaliation.
Ms. Peterson informed the customers that the elephant’s family had been taken from it in Vietnam.
She shouted at passersby with a megaphone, “In remembrance of Tricia, I am here to bring light to the remaining imprisoned victims in Perth Zoo and other zoos throughout the world.”
After supposedly being barred from all establishments in Western Australia with a liquor license for eight months, the activist travelled to the east coast.
She added that the pair would eventually move to Sydney and that she felt her right to free speech had been violated.
