Assault claim after protesters target Perth restaurant that banned vegans

Assault claim after protesters target Perth restaurant that banned vegans
Police are investigating allegations of assault throughout a conflict between vegan protesters and the Perth restaurant proprietor who banned them from his eating spot.

It’s the second weekend in a row vegan activist Tash Peterson has confronted Fyre Restaurant celeb chef John Mountain, after he banned vegans from his business following a destructive evaluate left by a plant-based diner.

Mountain confronted the activists enjoying sounds of squealing pigs outdoors his restaurant earlier than being tackled by an undercover safety guard.

“It’s good that she’s fighting for her cause but to be honest I’m the wrong person to fight with, it’s not working,” he stated.

Peterson claimed the chef was “throwing” her round.

“We’re not going after this restaurant because they’re banning vegans — yes that was maybe a reason that instigated it — but at the end of the day it’s because this man is profiting from animal abuse and murder and he’s also glamourising it,” she stated.

Police began investigating after Peterson filed a report with attending officers, however Mountain stated he was ready for a authorized struggle

.”Do I think I crossed the line? Absolutely, probably yes, but again, I would stand by my convictions,” he stated.

“I protected my premises, I protected my business and I protected my staff and customers.

Mountain said he didn’t care if he was charged with assault.

“I’ll get up in courtroom seven days every week,” he said.

Despite the disruption outside, diners continued with their dinner.
