Tash Peterson, a vegan activist, was ordered to pay $180,000 after a defamation lawsuit against Dr. Kay McIntosh, the owner of a veterinary clinic in Perth, Australia. The lawsuit stemmed from accusations that Dr. McIntosh was using birds for advertising instead of patient care.
Tash Peterson was ordered to pay $180,000 after accusing a vet of “eating her own patients” in a defamation case The judge ruled that the 31-year-old activist and her partner Jack Higgs used “provocative and inflammatory” language towards Dr. Kay McIntosh and her husband Andrew.at the Bicton Veterinary Clinic in Perth, where Tash confronted the clinic’s owner, Dr. Kay, for keeping two cockatiels inside a cage.
After the confrontation on September 23, 2021, the provocative protester returned to the clinic the next day with a camera, asking Dr. Kay if she “eats her own patients.” She believes animal rights activists like herself act out of their “moral obligation” to speak up for “voiceless victims.” However, she did note that she has undergone a personal evolution in her activism in terms of how she conveys her message.
Tash’s activism has frequently landed her in hot water, resulting in multiple fines and run-ins with cops for her provocative, semi-nude protests in restaurants, stores, and supermarkets. The unapologetic campaigner said “hundreds” of people have also been inspired by her efforts and set out on their own path of activism.
