Tash Peterson has launched a bold protest in Melbourne after being booted from Western Australia.

The notorious vegan campaigner walked into a KFC restaurant wearing a white apron and poured fake blood all over the floor.

A friend held up a large screen that depicted young chickens and the conditions they experience in some factory farms.

Tash yelled at diners to wake up and smell the 11 herbs and spices and consider switching to a plant-based lifestyle.

The protestor uploaded a 15-minute version of the stunt to social media, where she called on people to end 'this animal holocaust'.

"The world's longest and largest holocaust in history is happening right now in the meat, dairy and egg industries," she wrote alongside the video.

"Non human animals are enslaved in concentration prisons where they are subjected to rape, torture, abuse and mutilation before they're sent to murder factories where they are brutally murdered as babies.

"If you're not vegan, you're an animal abuser. Abolish animal slavery, end the animal holocaust."

People appeared awkward as they arrived into the restaurant to order their food and one woman even approached Tash to argue the ethics of eating meat.

The protest managed to last around 10 minutes before the police arrived and authorities told Tash and her group that they had to leave because that they had 'made their point'.

It appears Tash is calling Melbourne her new home after a string of controversial protests in her native Perth.

The young activist explained last month how she had been served a notice banning her from every licensed premises in Western Australia.

That meant she could be charged with trespass and fined AUD$10,000 (£5,400/US$7,500) if she entered any place that sells alcohol.

Peterson told her followers on Instagram: "The police came to my house this morning to serve a Barring Notice (Liquor licenced premises ban) upon me for a sea life Seaspiracy protest that I did last month highlighting the sea life holocaust caused by the fishing industry.

"This is a clear example of how so called freedom of speech is not actually freedom of speech at all."

That protest, which took place on May 2, involved Peterson and other activists walking into a seafood restaurant in Fremantle and yelling at diners.

During her tirade, Peterson claimed the fishing industry kills billions of animals every years, branding it the 'largest Holocaust in history'.

After leaving the restaurant, Peterson continued to shout at diners and called them 'animal abusers'. She and her team could then be heard chanting: "Fish want to live, fish feel pain, just like us!"

The activists carried placards urging diners to watch Netflix's fishing industry documentary Seaspiracy.
