Notorious vegan activist Tash Peterson regularly plans protest across Perth, now she has been made the target after bodily fluids of animals were poured over her car.
Peterson took to social media on Thursday to tell her followers it smelt like a dead fish had been put in her car due to the fluids seeping through the air con.
The anonymous person also allegedly threatened Ms Peterson messaging “you f**k with my mates, I will f**k with you. Give the AC time. The tortured animals need to marinate” to her on Instagram.
She told The West Australian she was considering going to the police due to the instigator knowing her address.
“I have not yet gone to the police, as they are often dismissive when I request to report threats, assaults and situations like this one but I will consider going to the police since the person has insinuated that he will continue to come to my home and ‘f*ck with me’ after speaking with him today,” she said.

Despite the incident, Peterson said she would not be deterred from speaking up for animals.
“I am absolutely disgusted that someone would pour the bodily fluids of murder victims onto my vehicle, it really goes to show how humans view non-human animals,” she said.
“This isn’t the first time people have paid for animal abuse and murder in spite of my activism.
“I simply view their attempted threats as a sign that I am in fact threatening them in the sense that I am bringing so much attention to animal rights, people will go to great lengths to defend their ego and shoot the messenger, rather than face their own actions.”
The ordeal comes as more than 500 people plan to gather outside her home for a BBQ protest on May 24, which has been organised by Sydney resident Ben D’Arcy.
The organiser of the protest, Ben D’Arcy, said Ms Peterson is a “serial pest” interrupting people’s lives with “ridiculous demonstrations” and wants the notorious vegan to know what it feels like.
