Meat is murder etc.
Vegan activist Tash Peterson was informed, yesterday, that she would no longer be allowed to set foot in any Western Australian establishment that sells alcohol including, but not limited to, beer, wine and vodka. Disobedience to be met with a trespassing charge and A$10,000 fine.
As you well know, from the recent World Surf League broadcast from Margaret River, the surf-rich state also has vineyards featuring very quaint bistros.
The 27-year-old Perth local received the stiff penalty for accusing diners at a picturesque Bathers Beach seafood restaurant of participating in a fish holocaust.
“Right now, in this moment, there are billions of fish, dolphins, whales and other marine animals being ripped from the ocean, in massive trawler nets and they are suffocating to death,” she said. “This is the largest holocaust in history.”
Peterson was furious when she woke up to police knocking at her door to inform her of the ban, claiming that she was not drunk during her seafood restaurant speech and that she rarely drinks alcohol. She now vows to leave the state, and its waves and its vineyards, as revenge, taking to Instagram and writing, “Guess what WA, I’m getting the f**k out of here anyway, so I can continue to do my protesting in other states in places that sell alcohol because this ban only applies in Western Australia.”
The regular-foot has the makings of a nice cutback and seems to enjoy chunky rights so may regret her decision.

And of all the hot button topics we press here on BeachGrit, extreme veganism has gone unfingered. Do you agree with Peterson, and Morrissey, that meat is murder? If you were sitting at that Bathers Beach seafood establishment would you have looked down at your plate and pondered your life’s path?
Or are you one of those aggressive top-of-the-foodchain sorts who believe eating flesh is man’s right?
Where does Joe Turpel fall?

Yep!
Turpel would say “she’s making it look super fun!”
if it’s a fich holocaust then who is Fishler?
It has been a while since I fingered something.
The overarching problem in this game of activism is consistently apparent… People try to rally troops for an injustice (BLM, Save Darfur, Sex trafficking, etc) and then when they aren’t met with war crying soldiers they freak the fuck out. Every damn person is different, not everyone is gonna hop on the same train. Solution? Realize this.
Hey Tash!
It’s Tyler – love the Magna, DM me for collab xx

I would willingly participate in a Tash Peterson holocaust. Shouldn’t take long.
Even being the kook that I am, I reckon that’s a pretty weak line she’s taken on that wave pictured above.
Shyness is nice.
Plants feel pain, leave lettuce alone, you vegan monster.

She single?

No no – this is Lemon Next to The Lemon Pie. WWWAAAAAAYYYY different.
Is this pie vegan?
Nah, it’s organic, but I heard pissing on the roots improves citrus.
It’s too late for her to audition for Karen. The role is filled.

I tried to teach my 5 year old son that every time he eats at McDonald’s a puppy dies. But the no taste bud having little rugrat STILL prefers that crap over In-N-Out. Sometimes I think I have failed as a parent. At least he understands the magic of slow smoked and cured pork products even though he knows they come from cute piggies.
Teach him the history of the hamburger, and take him to White Castle. They invented the hamburger, hamburger buns, and the take out bag.
I think the denizens of Hamburg in Germany might take umbrage with that assertion.
They figured out the ground beef patty. But they ate it like a steak.
Personally, I wear it like a hat.
Hamburgler.

have you explained to him that when the ice cream van plays a song it means they are sold out?
