After relocating to Melbourne from her native Western Australia earlier this month, the 28-year-old has wasted no time in continuing her activism.
She filmed the horse and cart driver, who was not pleased with the incident.
“I hope you are not filming my child?” he said to Tash. “If you do I’ll beat you to death with your camera.”
Despite the terrifying threat, Tash continued filming because she wanted to document ‘animal slavery and exploitation.’
She yelled at the cart driver, ” “How can you defend this? Can you not see how sad and depressed they are? These animals should be free.
“Animal abusers, total losers! You should be ashamed of yourself!”
She added on Facebook: “Regardless of how well ‘loved’ and ‘cared’ for a nonhuman animal is, using them as a vehicle and commodity is immoral.
“They are not slaves or machines and do not consent to being exploited as a vehicle for a humans pleasure. Stop supporting animal slavery by living vegan.”
Following a massive public campaign, horse-drawn carriages have been banned from Melbourne’s CBD.
The tourist attractions have been a part of the streets of the capital city for decades, but there is a growing chorus of people who want them removed.
There were a few horrifying reports of horses collapsing and carriage drivers allegedly abusing the animals in order for them to get back up and continue walking.
As a result, Daniel Andrews’ government has changed the road rules to prevent these attractions from operating.
Tash Peterson has promised to increase her public activism now that she has settled in Melbourne.

Tash Peterson has promised to increase her public activism now that she has settled in Melbourne.
She’s previously targeted supermarkets, fast food restaurants, football games, and high-end fashion chains, and there’s no doubt she’ll do the same in Victoria.
“I’ll definitely hit up a steakhouse and some supermarkets, I’ll take my activism to the next level as time goes by and I’m willing to break the law if it’s going to bring more attention to my message, so there might be a bit of law-breaking in future.”
