Tash Peterson: Australian vegan activist pressing assault charges after row with celebrity chef John Mountain

Vegan activist Tash Peterson has launched allegations of assault following an altercation outside Perth's Fyre restaurant.

Peterson and several other protestors played audio of squealing pigs, leading to an aggressive physical confrontation with chef and owner John Mountain.

She says the ongoing protests at the restaurant have nothing to do with the establishment's ban on vegans.
