(Vegan activist Tash Peterson) वेगन एक्टिविस्‍ट ताश पीटरसन ने कोर्ट के बाहर कहा, 

"Today I had a court trial where I pleaded not guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct for disrupting a supermarket to create awareness about the atrocities occurring in the dairy industry.

Dairy cows are raped to be artificially inseminated. After a nine month pregnancy, her babies are often immediately kidnapped from her, so her milk can be sold for human consumption in dairy products. Male calves are viewed as waste products to the industry because they don't produce milk, so they're either shot in the head shortly after being born, or sent to murderhouses where they're murdered for "veal" or "suede" products.

No one should be charged for speaking the truth and trying to create awareness if they're doing it in a non violent manner. But the real reason for me being charged with disorderly, is because I chose to be topless for that protest. I was charged with disorderly conduct for being born female.

I'm just using my bodily freedom for those who have no bodily autonomy at all. Those who are enslaved in the meat, dairy, egg, honey, wool, leather, fur, feather, scale, animal entertainment/racing industries etc.

Those who are born into this world as slaves and commodities simply for being born a different species."
