• 0:10
  Speaker 2: things that Tash Peterson's done.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Activist. Yeah, you've probably.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Seen her on news dot com or like on your
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: social media right. And a few months ago there was
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a video where she was stealing fishing rods out of
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the beach because fish have feelings and feel pain in
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: her mind, and so there were kids on the beach
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: who were fishing and they got upset and there was
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: a video of that. And then the latest is this
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: one from Surfers Paradise over the weekend where she was
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: went up to a reptile store and there were kids
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: there and they were well at a display I guess,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: some reptile display and that it was not right, like
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: animals shouldn't be used for human entertainment. But it's very
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: upsetting to the people who are around at the time,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: including kids.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, it would be really quite upsetting for the kids
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: and probably a little bit like scary.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Well, we've got the moment you can hear. So there
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are children and they're at the reptile stand and up
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: comes touch have a listen.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: These animals deserves me in the wild, not here for
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: children's entertainment.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: This is disgusting the animals.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: To film this young girl.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Where's her parents and where's that? The animal does not
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: want to be here posing for an.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: We cannot is an animal child? This actual god?
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Somebody am.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: An animal child? Does she know their reptiles age?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Good point, Well, you can ask to yourself because we
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have on air.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, thanks for having me on.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, Tash, can you just help me understand, like,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: was there a reason you targeted this reptile stand I.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Stand up for all victim of animal exploitation and abuse.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: And I just happened to be out on a walk
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: when I noticed the reptile stall being set up, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I went back when they were fully set up. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: wanted to film the victims and speak up for them.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And the victims are the reptiles.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, non human animals who are subjected to exploitation,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: whether that be for entertainment, clothing, food testing, breeding, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: so on.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, thirteen one oh sixty five. By the way, if
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you want to have a chat to Tush and ask
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: her a question or give your opinion, feel free to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: do so.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: I get I think I guess my question.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Obviously you're a vegan because of these animals, and you
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: don't eat animals any animal product.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Is that right?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't use animals in any form, So I
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: don't eat their flesh, their milk, their eggs, their honey
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: where their skin will use them for entertainment, go to zoos.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I don't support any any form of animal use.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: So, and this might be a silly question, but like,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: what what do you eat like, because I know, like
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I love animals as well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I like I also enjoy a steak, right.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: So I can get a vegan steak.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: What is that like a vegan steak?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Well, everything you eat now there's a plant based version.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: So there's the plant based meat. So they can be
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: made from soy or peat protein with the same taste
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: and texture. So everything you enjoy now you can get
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: a vegan version. I still eat pizzas, burritos, vegan cheese,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: vegan ice cream and so on.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: It's probably three times the price as well, anything organic
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: or vegan is or they're not encouraging you to eat that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Lay I look good on you. I'm the personal thing.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I think what a lot of people get upset about
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: tash is you, you know, going up to Bondai Beach
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: where people are fishing or the market and there are
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: children involved. Do you ever feel bad some people think
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you're an attention seeker.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: No, I don't feel bad for standing up against animal victims.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: They're as innocent as human children. They deserve respect and
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: the right to not be exploited as well. In fact,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: human children never seem to actually be scared by my
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: activism At the reptile stall, all the children were just
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: standing there staring at me. They were curious. The only
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: time they became upset was when the mothers became aggressive
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: and upset and even physical with me.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: But none of that would be happening if you weren't
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: there doing this in front of the kids.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I need to stand up for their animal
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: children too.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: There are always you can Docile was.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: A baby crocodile with his or her mouth taped so
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: children could hold them for entertainment, and a photoprop I'm discusting.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: It is animal abuse.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I'm like on the fence with veganism, Like I get
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: what you just said Amy before about you know, I
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: love animals, but our lead at steak like that doesn't
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: make sense to me. So I get veganism, and I'm like, yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I'm off for okay, people being vegan, but I still
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: eat meat like so you know, I get it. But Tash,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: when I see when I think about, oh, maybe I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: will go vegan, when I see people like you being
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: so extreme and upsetting children, it actually puts me off
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: because I don't because being a vegan is now seen
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: as such an extreme thing.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Do you have to do it this way?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Well, don't use me as a reason to continue exploiting
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: and abusing animals. I don't think that's a good enough reason.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to stop animal abuse. If I were
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: speaking up for human victims of slavery and abuse, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: don't think people would be calling my actions extreme. In fact,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: they'd probably be begging me to do more.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you compare kind of animals to like if
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it was human suffering things, human beings. Yeah, how do you?
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: We're authentient, we all feel pain, we all value our lives.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Sure thirteen to one oh sixty five. Couple of people
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: want to have a chat to you. How do you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: feel about like my cat for example? Because I do
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm a big animal lover. I reckon if I'd been
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in an abatoir, I'd be off meat. I get it
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: right out of side, out of mind for me. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: what about my cat who loves to eat meat? Animals
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: like eating meats?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well animals eat yeah. Wild animals eat other wild animals.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: It's like the whole hierarchy chain.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: That's how they survive.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: We shouldn't mimic their behavior. Wild animals do many terrible
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: things out in the wild, including eating their own babies
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and doing terrible things towards one another.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: The way, what do you think Tash about just having
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a pit having a cat or dog?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Is that bad?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I don't support the breeding industry. I don't think we
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: should be purchasing animals and breeding them into existence to
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: be pets. But I completely support adopting animals who need
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: a home.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But what's the difference the display then, of having a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: dog at home.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Well, these reptiles are bred into captivity for the pure
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: purpose to be used as human entertainment, and I think
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: that's unethical. And it's the same as breeding dogs and
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: cats into existence to be used as pets. It's all unethical.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: But I agree with adopting or rescuing those animals who
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: already exist and giving them a home where their best
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: interests comes first. These animals to be used as a
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: prop is not putting their best interests her all.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, lots of people calling into kiss right now,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: so we'll get a few on air with you, Jackie,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: go for it. You're on with Tash.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Hey, Tash, how are you okay?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I've got it. Good, good.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I've got a friend that is actually a snake catcher
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: and actually does a reptiles shows. Now, he takes such
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: good care of those reptiles, probably looks faster and better
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: than his wife. They've got the best tone. Yeah, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: he makes it and that is his job.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Right so yeah, yeah, yeah, Well how do you feel
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: about that, Tash. He's taken good care of the animals.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: So the issue is not about how well they're cared for,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: the issues that they're exploited in the first place. I'm
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: not saying that the animals aren't we well cared for,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: but the fact that they are breading to captivity to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: be exploited for entertainment or any other human purpose I
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: believe is unethical.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, thirteen one oh six five. We've got Blake, you're on, Witash.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: What do you want to say, mate?
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Josh, I just think you're fighting fire with fire.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: I look at like how.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Australia embraced homosexuality. For example, we had a street party,
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: we had a party that was a protest and filled
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: with so much joy, and now homosexuality is widely accepted
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: here in Australia. I look at what you're doing with
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: your vegan protest and I think it actually creates more
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: aggression and fear with what you're doing. I think that
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: is there a more positive way that you could actually
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: be going out for the community in educating as opposed
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: to being confrontation.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: It's kind of like what you said, Brooklyn, Yeah, what
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: do you reckon?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Tash?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I think all forms of activism have their place. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: it's interesting that you bring up homosexuality because in previous
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: social justice movements, including gay rights, it wasn't just all
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: happy and positive fighting for their rights. There was a
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: lot of extreme disruptive activism in order for gay people, women,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: black people, someone to get their rights. They were arrested, jailed,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: beaten because they were disrupting and standing up for their right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Do you get tash on your comments for videos like
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: this one at the Reptile Store, do you get people
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: commenting saying you made a great point. I'm going to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: be vegan now.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. I've been an animal rights activist for eight years now,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: and I have NonStop throughout those eight years, received endless
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: messages online saying thank you, Tash. I've watched Dominion because
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: of you, and I'm now changing my life and I'm
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: living vegan because of your activism. People all around the world,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: because of my disruptive activism, have become vegan and animal
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: rights activists.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like a saint. Okay, here, Scott, go
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: for it, man, What do you want to say? I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: want to ask, if you're not an exploitation at all
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: ones only fans account, what is that then? What you know?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: For me?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Beautiful toot, There's no exploitation happening on that account. I'm
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: doing whatever I want with my bodily autonomy while standing
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: up for those who have no body autonomy who are
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: actually subjected to exploitation and abuse.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, if you've got only fans there, yeah I do. Okay,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: all right, Scott, Scott reckons that's on par with meat.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: God vegan meat vegan meat tastes better?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hang on, hang on now before we let you go.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I love that you're passionate about something, absolutely, and for
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: coming on. Yeah, I really appreciate you. You're a good sport.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But let's not lie now. Surely you miss some meat.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And are you actually saying vegan meat tastes better? Oh?
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, because there's no exploitation, abuse and murder involved. So yeah,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I enjoy vegan meat all the time.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Have you felt tried non vegan beat?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Tried the cheese? I think it's made out of nuts
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: or some stuffy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, have you tried? Have you ever had a steak tash?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I wasn't vegan for twenty three years of my life.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, do you eat oysters?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: No? I don't.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But they're not an animal or something?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Well, well, questionable about their sentience, but they I believe
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: they are considered animals. It's just not uncertain about their sentient.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Do trees feel pain?
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: No, plants are not sentient. They don't have a central
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: nervous system, so they don't.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Why are they leading them?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And now you're getting ridiculous lacky?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: He God on, you keep it off or do whatever
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you want. You know. It's it's it's good to see
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: someone to do something. It's all I can say.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Have a good day, see your tasks coming on.
• 11:36
