Tash Peterson played audio clips of animals being “brutally murdered” inside Australian slaughterhouses.

An animal activist has been filmed outside a McDonald’s restaurant in a blood-coloured outfit as part of a brave and original protest.

Vegan Tash Peterson, 26, held a rubber pig’s head and played audio clips of animal screams by the entrance of the store in Western Australia.

Footage showed the masked activist, dressed in blood-stained white-coloured top and trousers, holding up a placard by the counters inside the restaurant while shocked customers watched on.

She then shouts at the customers: “The sounds you hear now are the sounds animals being brutally murdered inside Australian slaughterhouses.

“They suffocate to death, they are electrocuted or they have a bolt run straight to their brain.
