Is That Vegan Teacher's Daughter Helping Animals? 

I like to say I went vegan because of undercover footage of pig farms at the start of the pandemic, but the first seeds that were planted for me were by your videos years back. I was researching a school project about GMOs, and you had a few videos on the subject. You never know what's going to affect people.

It’s your account that’s actually making me want to become vegan. Im eating less meat and dairy stuff. Hopefully once I’m an adult I’ll be a full vegan.

to be fair I just went and watched a bunch of her videos and now I'm a fan.

Disruptive protests aren't always aimed at the public, but the relevant decision makers. In the UK, oil companies have indulged in culture washing by sponsoring museums etc, and some of these protests are aimed at encouraging the institutions to cut their ties with polluting companies. To bring about change, often a mix of tactics is required.

Some ultramarathons runner of my country usually is top 3 in races and always goes with the shirt "I don't eat animals". That is a much more convincing way. It's not just that actions speak louder but telling people what to do is not an attractive front.

I'd never heard of her or seen her. I do know that the shenanigans of PETA delayed me going vegan cause I didn't want to be associated with that kind of activism.

I have been vegan for over a decade but most of the time I was a quiet vegan, never really speaking up for the animals or anything. Tash Peterson's videos were one of the things that made me understand the urgency of the situation and it inspired me to start doing some activism.

I think what is successful is inviting meat eaters to join us, like Veganuary and no meat May.

Just remember… all the [expletive deleted] that's currently being directed against Tash Peterson and Miss Kadie is pretty much the same [expletive deleted] that was directed against the Suffragettes, the civil rights workers, road shaft advocates and John T Scopes. (Tennessee… STILL banning books, one sees.) Veganism IS a feminist issue… whatever Julie Bindell tries to tell you. ❤️

I've been in a supermarket that Tash has come into to protest and honestly her message does not get across to most people, you can barely understand what she's screaming about and most people just think she's crazy or on drugs. She's hasn't convinced anyone here in Western Australia, people just think she's a joke.

Unpopular opinion, hardcore activists do more harm then good on almost any issue by making their own side look crazy

I made the final decision to go vegan from watching vegan RU-vidrs like Joey Carbstrong and inmendham but ultimately it was my sister who introduced me to veganism. My sister’s bf’s family also eat vegetarian now so I guess that proves the “one person going vegan won’t make a difference” argument wrong.

I’ve been vegan 11 years, and I want to say that activism like your videos don’t change my behaviour day-to-day, but they do play an important role in my commitment to this lifestyle, and strengthening the knowledge of why it’s important, and how to stay healthy.

Tash has a lot of passion for the animals. I think we need to stop criticising different strategies and stand united- I will often leave positive comments of support on her YT clips in the event that some of her haters and trolls might start to see the truth- there are a lot of eyeballs there. Also, the many young people who start watching her clips to 'hate' on her, may begin to get other vegan content, maybe a bit of Joey Carbstrong or Earthling Ed, or maybe even slaughterhouse or factory farm footage. The seeds may get planted via a variety of exposure. Tash attracts a huge amount of attention and some of her protests give her mainstream, prime-time attention here in Australia- even on television and in newspapers. Once she has that attention, she is an eloquent and calm speaker for the animals. People respond differently to different forms of information and different methods of delivery. I don't agree with everything that Tash does but I support her efforts, passion and bravery. The suffragettes and civil rights activists certainly used disruptive tactics to help their cause.

The point of activism isn't always to get people to change their minds instantly. Sometimes it's to raise awareness about the seriousness of an issue for people who may just ignore a less controversial form of activism. And don't forget about the sleeper effect! Let's not tone-police our fellow vegans.

Can we admit that we just don't have the confidence to do that

I feel like activism like this just makes people dig in their heels and makes changing minds harder.

5:40, for context: A vegan contacted him (the restaurant owner) and asked if he had or could provide vegan options, he said yes and he let them decide the dish and said he would make it the day that the vegan would come. He got the date they were coming a few weeks in advance and the day the vegan went there he didn't make the dish because he hadn't prepared or even bought the ingredients. The vegan left a bad review and said they wouldn't come back, and later on a few other vegans also left bad reviews. He said this tanked his ratings from 4 something to 2.7 (i think), and said it was unreasonably low and then went on to ban all vegans from the restaurant as a response.

if there wasn't vegans like tash there wouldn't be nearly as many vegans today. she's amazing and i respect people like her so much. direct action!

3:37 this is a pretty uncomfortable finding to accept. Am I missing something? The finding is that any protests, _even non-disruptive (peaceful) protests,_ have no affect or can _reduce_ support for animal welfare causes, _even amongst people who already avoid meat,_ i.e. the group of people who are more likely to already sympathize with farmed animals? That's quite demoralizing in addition to going against what I'd say is the common understanding that peaceful protests can be effective. Don't we all think peaceful protests helped women's and civil rights movements succeed? They didn't have social media. Was there a point in those movements where non-violent protests would reduce support? Or what is it about animal rights that makes protesting only neutral or harmful?

I suppose the abolitionists in their day were criticized for being "too radical." I wasn't around back then but I suspect many a Northener went tsk, tsk, tsk over John Brown and his violent attacks against slaveowners and institutions in slaveholding states. Meanwhile, slaves were being brutalized and murdered routinely every day in the South. I think nothing changes unless pressure is applied at all levels of society. I admire those vegans who put their freedom and careers on the line to save animals. I am too much of a coward to do that.

In my country meat consumption in lessening, but not because of people would be interested in animal welfare. They are, however, interested in climate change. People want to make changes in their life to fight against it, so eating less meat is an environmental act, like recycling. Also current wave of health consciousness advocates the importance of vegetables, which contibutes to the trend.

Tash is an excellent debater. Her street interviews are interesting.

Performing Healing a Vegan Activist on RU-vid and Tash Peterson is prob my 2 favorite Vegan animal rights activists, Because Tash she puts animals at the forefront unlike Freelee The Banana Girl who pretty much ONLY talks about weight loss and vegan dieting, I really loved her Vegan Campout speech in Australia, I would say Tash is bringing awareness to what's going on people hate the cold hearted truth of the matter 💯💣

One of the problems with this type of confrontational activism is that it sparks those rebellious tendencies as a form of backlash causing more harm than good. To go vegan these people need to grow a soul and that's not going to happen by yelling at them and dancing around in menstrual blood (grody). The type of selfishness we're dealing with is deeply ingrained and will likely have to be something they confront by necessity. Yelling at them will never work, but a doctor pointing out why they have heart disease, diabetes, rectal cancer, obesity, lactose intolerance and then carefully inserting the vegan diet to heal them can start the wheels turning. Nothing will make them care about sentient life, the world, their children's future as it would have to make them accept accountability and responsibility, which, once accepted is hard to turn back around from. Activists like Rob Banks are more effective by quietly and carefully placing shock ads in places where people will casually be confronted by the harsh truths they readily ignore. They are already in a calm state, not sitting down to eat, and are consistently having the messages chip away at them as the go through their normal travels. Animal sentience is never on their minds to begin with. They can't look at an ant they stepped on and see the complex torment in it's reactions to equate with sentience. How do you make someone grow a soul?

I find that the most impactful activism is just to be vegan, long term. I love when people ask me "So you don't eat meat?" And I tell them, yup, haven't had it for over a decade! And they look at me with disbelief. I used to be one of them. Those who planted a seed for me where those who had been vegetarian/vegan for a long time, like +10 years or since they were kids. My brain unconsciously registered that that it's doable and nothing bad is going to happen. (Because I at the time thought one had to have meat in order to survive lol). Now, I personally didn't like eating or cooking meat, so for me uncovering that this diet was doable long-term felt liberating. But I still can't see how anyone can witness a person being without meat for over a decade and not feeling some sort of shame or doubt over their choices? It should be the seed that makes them take small steps towards reducing their meat intake. If they have any morals at all.

I would love a video on you ranking different animal welfare or activist groups.

Digagree big time the attation is so important . The awareness people are sleep walking . And so I'm their heads . Negative turns into positive. People need to wake up and and see the urgency. How did black people get their rights? How did anyone get rights by being 📢 of course. And yes at first negative things will happen that's how healing takes place. She's got a lot of public attention and it's still a good thing no matter what.

The best way to try to get someone to consider a change in lifestyle or viewpoint is about meeting them where they're at, learning about what factors go into their current position and getting them to examine and reflect on themselves and consider it against yours. The moment you start aggressively confronting them, all youre doing is triggering a defebsive gut reaction from them which completely cuts off rational discussion and any chance of dialogue. You've suddenly created an us vs them divide and it can be very hard to come back from that.

If vegans are nice, people won't take the issue seriously. If vegans are mean, people will use that as an excuse not to be vegan.

I'm very split on this, it makes people hate vegans more maybe but at the same time it puts the vegan idea out there and these stuns are the only ones that go viral. A calm conversation does not

It's impossible to study, but ultimately i don't think we can stop people doing extreme protesting without draconian anti-protest laws, which do more harm than good, so there isn't much fruitful conversation to be had. Promoting being kind to eachother is the best form of activism in my opinion but maybe I'm wrong, maybe slavery and suffrage and workers rights really wouldn't have happened without disruptive protesting, who knows

I got into veganism through a cool person in highschool when they mentioned they dont eat meat and were a vegetarian. Me being too shy I didn't ask her what she ate but started researching and doing some food for myself. Through researching on vegetarism, I landed on twitch to a streamer who was talking about pressing tofu and doing other vegan recipes (at that time I was vegetarian). And then the streamer raided to another streamer who was talking about animal issues, showing videos that were exposing animal farms and animal mistreatment in them, and that was the breaking point where I became fully vegan. Without that planted seed I wouldn't be vegan. One thing that helped a lot is the covid period when I could test foods and recipes as I could work from the kitchen. If i kept that same workflow as I did before covid, I wouldn't have enough time to experiment anything. My daily schedule was basically Sleep > drive > work > lunch > work > drive > shop > quick heat-up meal as dinner > sleep. So from my case Influence, curiosity and time were the most crucial as activism

Social media activism definitely did it for me. And it definitely happenend in stages. By that I am not talking about the eating part. I am an avid Doctor Mike viewer and you reacted to him once. And voila. You ended up in my feed. I watched the video and kinda moved on without giving it much thought. At some point I was trying to eat healthier. I looked at all kinds of diets. And I did the, oh lets try xyz diet for 30 days thing. After a while I ended up with 30 days vegan. With me researching vegan dishes, you ended up in my feed again. I went down the rabbithole and watched almost all your videos in a week. Your reaction videos led me to vegan content. But you provided me with a filter, I kinda knew "watch out bad example" when I ran into some of the agressive activists on youtube. So stuff that would have annoyed me or turned me off of the idea was basically invalid. This way I kept exploring and someday, it just 'clicked'. The cognitive disonance ended. I cried myself to sleep that night. I remember that after that I could barely control my anger when someone wouldn't "get it." But I also remembered that it was the calm activism that got through to me and now I do my best to follow that example.

It's not only about awareness. Disruptive activists make non-confrontational activists feel much more legitimate, and gives them a place in the table as the "common sense" activist. Without disruptive activist, moderate activists are felt like fringe, so it normalises them. It's just about pushing the boundaries. It's akin to the anchoring bias in marketing, or even part of it (for example when stores put first an outrageously expensive product, that is not meant to be sold, but is rather meant to make the next -still expensive- products as acceptable. TBH, it's also similar to what happens between vegan activists and welfare-reducetarian activists. I'm positive that if you do a similar study, simply asking to reduce your meat consumption or the way it's sourced (for ethical or ecological reasons) is far more effective in the short-term at reducing animal exploitation than advocating for a full vegan diet. But it's all part of an ecosystem, and I'm sure it'd be far less effective without an environment where vegan activism is more and more ubiquitous. It shifts the narrative. Sadly, far-right activists and fascists know very well how this works, and they keep winning some battles because of it. It's time to stop policing ourselves that much (or maybe, ironically, it's the policing ourselves that gives us a veneer of mainstream legitimacy, which is, in anf of itself, the main benefit of confrontational activism?). For me it's just a very liberal vs marxist way of looking at things: do we evaluate just our individual action and ist consequences in the vacuum, or do we look at it as part of a broader inter-connected system? Depending on your angle, you'll find different answers. Either way, I still think both activisms are extremelly important, and I think one without the other would'nt really work.

Honestly i took that comment about secretly recording abuse even worse then the possibilities you gave. I took it like they are saying it is some kind of violation to record people being abusive. Like somehow, people are bad for not following the unwritten rule of just turning a blind i Eye to this sort of thing. Kinda like how a lot of pro equestrians were probably mad that a few people got banned from the Olympics because horse abuse footage got leaked. I totally see a lot of people being mad the footage was leaked because they dont actually have a problem with the behavior, they just feel bad a fellow athlete was caught and can't compete now.

Been waiting for this since I saw the patroon announcement lol, these are my favorite kinds of videos! & super helpful for me when I’m considering how I can make the biggest impact

It was ‘militant’ people like Joey Carbstrong and Tash that got me to not only think about the animals but also to become an activist.

Yes, is helping veganism spread. She could been doing it better, but what she does has results. Meanwhile, you make a bad image to veganism, as obviously food is your only purpose in life

I realize the majority of people think that extreme activism doesn’t help, and tbh idk the stats so it very well may not help. But, knowing about “extreme” animal rights activism as a child, and even cartoons joking about it, the exposure to it helped me know from a young age that when I had access to my own freedom of food, I would try to be as vegan as I could

I have lived in Perth my whole life and I have never seen Tash Peterson.

Lets hope the upcomig vet case cleans out her bank account since it is civil not criminal since they discovered her false tax reporting

In a recent court case, the court was told that Tash Peterson earned more than $400,000 in the 2021-2022 financial year, but declared just $70,000 in business earnings to Australian Tax Office. When her bank statements were mentioned in court, she could only point to one $100 donation to an animal charity. Payments on her bank statement included receipts for buying a new car, a holiday in Italy, transfer of money to her boyfriend, & a 'jet ski loan' to her father and brother. What Tash did was realize that PETA makes a fortune out of exploiting young women like her, who were willing to show their T&A & create some noise, & decided to just keep the money for herself instead. After the James Aspey con, is this not a wake up call to the vegan movement that we need more transparency & to how this new generation of grifters exploiting second hand ideas & the movement acountable? The court was told, albeit not in these terms, that she used to her activism to attract people to sign up for her jerk off material.

Tash is amazing.

Fake fur looks so much like the real thing now that even if I was so compelled… and there just happened to be a person painting a wall red right there I’m sure (knowing my luck) would splash up an ally. 🖤

As with any argument you are trying to make to a crowd that thinks or believes different than you, yelling/violence/confrontation/extreme demonstrations are not the way to try to convince someone to see your side, or even the way to share information, because they think you're crazy and want to avoid you. I've been vegan for 17 years, and what got me thinking about eliminating animal products from my diet and my life was having meaningful, understanding conversations with another vegan. It opened my eyes and slowly, I stepped out on my own and started watching videos and once I saw what my vegan friend said was true, there was no looking back! I have always felt that screaming and confrontation only perpetuates the stereotype that vegans are crazy extremists and just closes off people's mind to your point. It seems the studies confirm this, but really it's a no-brainer. PETA did this stuff for years and people think they are crazy and they've become the brunt of so many jokes that no one who isn't vegan even listens to them anymore. Compassion is always the answer.

She does some great street outreach and the money she makes seems to be going to good causes like the team behind Dominion that recently got 10.000 dollars for their efforts.. I'm not big on everything she does but I'd most definitely answer "yes" to the title of this video.

I find her weird. I don’t know if she helps or not, but I think that her methods deter more than they encourage. Mostly because she comes off as fanatical, and seems more like she’s forcing veganism rather than suggesting it. But I’m not vegan, so I wouldn’t know if people have become vegan after watching her.

I remember watching something I can't find now, about how this kind of activism isn't actually aimed at influencing tte opinions of the public. It indirectly leads to some kind of legal pressure, and has lead to change that way. But I don't remember how. If anyone knows please tell me

I learned about veganism (still an omnivore and always will be one) 20 years before I knew of Tash Peterson. The vast majority of people would know what it is with or without Tash Peterson. So the whole argument that someone might read Melanie Joy because of T P just doesn't hold.

I’ve always liked Tash and Jack, she says her OF helps her do activism full time. Regardless, she’s a powerhouse. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but I think I will continue to support her. 🌱⭐️

As a person who went to political protests I fully understand why some people do that form of activism. Its a rush of adrenaline, you are screaming about whats right, you put all your self into that and it feels amazing emotionally. However, i do find it doing more harm than good, we are doing it for the animals not for ourselves. From my practice the most effective thing is passive activism, talking to people and being a good example yourself. When you scream at people that they are murdrers and animal abusers (even though it is objectively true) they naturally start defending themselves without thinking. But if you present people with facts and let them actually think for themselves many do find there hypocrisy. And even if you dont make someone go vegan instantly you are still planting the seeds of doubt. I also had cases when people whom i did not even talk to about veganism went vegan because i simply was a good example that you can be happy as a vegan and you dont actually restrict yourself in anything.

I have not purchased beef, pork, or seafood in over a year you had a role in that decision another was cost of food these days. With that said I still do buy poultry and cheese I just haven't been able to get over hurdle of finding vegan substitutes that work for me with these (combo of price, taste and mostly texture for me). But I hope to get there some day.

It’s the same with shaming people to change. Shaming for cigarette smoking or to lose weight etc, it doesn’t work

Finally came around to watching this and I can't help but think that the most effective "activism", as defined here as actions that make people change their behavior, is legislation. It's actual prohibitions and mandates backed by state violence that are the most effective in shaping people's behavior. It's why we send our kids to school, why we use seat belts in cars and don't smoke on trains.. very unpopular behaviors/prohibitions when they were first proposed. Sometimes wars are fought about changing behaviors... The "right side" (the one that comports with reality) doesn't always win. Truly, when has activism ever changed anything, without "influencing" legislation to back up the change? I put influencing in quotes because it might be considered quite euphemistic for fighting a war, or cutting off a king's head, for example, but still. I can't think of anything. Maybe some technical advances were made that then fundamentally changed our behavior without any intervention by any governments, but that kind of change isn't connected to activism generally speaking, just like changes in fashion aren't. I guess what I'm saying is, I have a feeling that the most effective form of activism is lobbying whatever legislature makes the laws of the land we're trying to change the behavior of, which is very depressing.

Yes she is a Goddess I love her. she made me go vegan

I see you changed the thumbnail to having you back in it - glad as I originally didn’t realise it was your thumbnail! I also hadn’t watched cos the title didn’t really make sense / evoke anything. Maybe add the teacher into the thumbnail and retitle something like “That Vegan Teacher’s daughter banned from leaving Australia” or “That Vegan Teacher’s daughter RUINS veganism” or something. Just my opinion, tryna help.

Going by how many people say the vegan due to her compared to u. Yes she is great for the animals

I have kind of an unusual "how I went vegan story" you might find interesting: My whole life I had this sort of internal struggle with eating animals - on the one hand, I thought it was necessary, and normal and that god had put animals on this earth for the express purpose of being eaten by humans. But on the other hand, I had a lot of empathy towards animals and it made me SO sad to see trucks with chickens headed to... Well, you know. I remember in primary school (elementary) one of my classmates gave a speech about why she was vegetarian, and her reasoning was not religious, but she thought it was wrong to eat animals. I thought that was so dumb - if she was instructed not to eat meat by god or by religious leaders, that would make sense to me, but just saying "how would you feel if you were killed to be eaten?" was not enough for me. Years later, I am in 11th grade, and I am trying to figure out who I am. I want to be different but also fit in. I want to differentiate myself from my parents. I still have that internal struggle, but now I might actually do something with it. My environmental sciences teacher shows a documentary about the horrors (ethical and ecological) of factory farming, and I use that as my excuse, my "final straw", to go vegetarian. My mom is not happy, she is annoyed that now she will have to cook separately for me which is extra work on her plate. I just cook my own food, it's not hard. I stay vegetarian for YEARS but I purchase, and even COOK meat for my loved ones, I just don't eat it. I say "I understand that it's totally natural that bigger animals eat smaller ones, I just don't agree with factory farming. Hunting is okay, because there is no waste and the animal lives a good life prior " 🙄 Flash forward to 19-ish years old. I am gonna go on a cruise with my family, the first one ever, I know I'm gonna have to wear a swimsuit in front of people, I am cripplingly self-conscious and I want to lose 10lbs FAST. I don't care at all if it's healthy or not. I look on RU-vid to see what others are doing, and I come across a few videos about how people had cut out yogurt, cheese, eggs etc and it really helped. This leads me to a Freelee video about "raw til 4" veganism. I remembered hearing once that it was possible to actually starve on a diet of raw food, because you can't get enough calories if you don't eat enough volume. Bingo. I can eat raw food and feel full, but get less calories. It is totally unhealthy and I know it from the outset, but I don't care. I start eating this way, and watching more Freelee videos to get "recipe" ideas, then one day, one of YOUR response videos to Freelee pops up. I click on it, and it was like a bomb dropped. All of a sudden, the philosophy behind veganism is explained, it all makes sense, my cognitive dissonance is challenged, I go vegan for the animals and the planet, like, for REAL, the day I get back from my cruise (which was super lame btw). Overall, there were a lot of contributing factors that led to my going vegan. It was like dominoes. I wonder how anyone could ever study or measure something as complicated and convoluted as that.

In court this year in June she was found to only donate $100 to an animal charity since then she's donated $30,000 but two other animal activists.

Tash doesn't enjoy what she does. She does it because the animals NEED multiple approaches for activism. Your commentary on her motivations is actually slanderous (including the suggestion she is motivated by profit), and you should do an apology video honestly.

What do you say to the idea it certainly is for media attention but only for her to do interviews on tv and come across as a far more reasonable person.

On a side note.. trying to "recruite " people never seems like a good idea. Show your side & let people decide.. most on the vegan side(not you) try to "recruit ".. very bad way to go about it.. In My Opinion.

This type of thing is more like performance art for the satisfaction of the person doing it, not to influence an audience towards a cause. I don't think it's harmful but it's also not interesting to me. It can have a morale boosting effect for some people who already agree with them.

it definitely doesn't hurt her bank account of you know what I mean...seems like a typical business model - use activism to bring attention to another website of you catch my drift

Before I became vegan, the only vegan that I knew was freely very much made me turn off but because freely I found you and Cowspiracy I know that movie gets a lot of shit, but it really turned me into vegan to be clear. I’m not vegan anymore. But still eat significantly less animal products than my fellow Americans. Watching these videos helps remind me to be aware

Seeing and knowing the extend of animal exploitation makes me want to scream to stop it, they are in hell, how I am supposed to react to this like to something frivolous?!

I concur that the "shout-in-your-face" or vandalizing approach is disruptive thus not optimal, but peaceful protests with signs should not be held in the same regard.

I think some of what she does is great but I can see both sides. I think instead of angry screaming she should show her hurt and sadness. I think telling people with empathy in your voice and not being so angry might get to people more and actually make them feel bad. I know it’s hard because it’s frustrating when they ignore or make fun. It’s hurtful to hear people not care about animals being killed and horribly tortured.

9:57 exactly

I wasn’t a fan of her approach for a while, but if you go to the Google reviews of Dominion, a notable chunk of them are from people who reference some viral activism that she did. So maybe there is something to her approach?

Technically I’m not strictly vegan anymore but mostly plant-based/vegetarian, however I’ll never go back to a standard omnivore diet so going vegan has completely changed my moral outlook.

Muuuch better thumbnail and title Swayzo, nice work!

Anyone who does this kind of activism is just doing it to be the centre of attention. They're just narcissists, and they're harming their cause.

Is the goal of activism to influence people? Or is the goal of activism is to raise awareness and inform? If the decision after isnt voluntary but coerced through tactics then isnt that indoctrinating or brainwashing?

Solid video. ❤

Great video but trust me it’s confusing! As an activist, I feel like being nice just doesn’t help! I make nice videos in social media, showing the factory farm footages making a damsel in distress faces. On the other hand - we also stand in the middle of the city, with the screams of the slaughterhouse victims ON in loudspeakers.

I avoid animal products and I truly believe that people shouldn't be eating them either but I avoid protests like what this woman does like the plaque. She is quite literally turning people away from even having a rational discussion about it because she has put the image in people's minds that all vegans are nutters. People that protest like she is going need to stop. The only people that they appeal to are the slimmest of the margins of people that also behave like this.

She reminds me of Nathalie Cohen Vaksberg. 😍😍😍😍😍 Anyhow, I have to concurr - not only am I, personally, not into those protests - or _any_ kind of protesting really, since I am old (49) and completely burned out, after decades of fervently throwing *all* of my energies into doing them - indeed, that whole thing simply *does not work.* You go, *extinguishing yourself over something,* in that direct activism or another - and at the end of the day, it is doubtful even whether you've managed to convince even a single person to change anything. *It is not cost-effective.* A _waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy _*_MORE_* effective strategy of veganizing the masses, is through making *as many Vegan Alternatives* available and affordable to *more and more people everywhere* as possible. That's the main reason I _still_ do not support the BDS - while I 100% in agreement with them, regarding the *illegitimate zionist entity* being a nazi monstrosity, which must be concquered, and then reorganized into an enlightened republic, I nonetheless canNOT sanction a _complete_ boycott of israeli goods, while there are *SO MANY* israeli products, from _"Panda / 7th Heaven"_ (not the tv ridiculous comedy, but the *wonderful* Chocolate) to _"YOegg"_ (and including some of *the Best* 3-D Printed _"Meat"_ in the World!), that spreading these products *all around the World* is *THE BEST WAY* to make people adopt Veganism. Also RU-vid Vegan recipes, being positive, are *_way_* more promising, in achieving our goal of *fully veganizing humanity,* than any horror footage (being negative) is.

Swayze/Unnatural Vegan's activism and Earthling Ed Winters' activism is what made me vegan 4yrs ago ❤🌱

How do you think that the undercover footage gets out to the public? See the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of views which Tash and her boyfriend have received, which expose the horrors.

What's your thoughts on Dr. Sebi ?

Yeah I don't buy that protests make meat eaters consume more meat. That's implausible. But otherwise I agree, there's really no upside. Love u mam.

Imagine not mentioning the Overton Window in a topic like this. Sigh.

I have always felt her form of disruptive protest is overwhelmingly unhelpful. She claims she gets lots of views and people "go vegan" as a result, but that doesn't really tell us much. If her actions convert 100 people to veganism but put 100,000 people steadfastly offside, has it helped? I suspect not, in fact I think all aggressive and critical advocacy is a net negative to the animal justice movement. I believe that advocacy would be better focusing simply on awareness raising, encouragement and inclusive conversation. I'd measure success by the extent to which the public conversation regards animal justice and veganism as valid and worthwhile, rather than counting numbers of vegans (a metric that remains stubbornly low).

The only way to encourage people to go vegan is to just have a friend to friend conversation. I have friends who are vegan, and the only way the conversation of veganism starts is by me asking questions. Plus she has an onlyfans page and her activism is just for show and to gain more onlyfans followers

The real question is why isn't she in prison?

Hi, you should talk to Tash and/or listen to some of her podcasts. I don't think this is a money grab for her - she truly seems to care for the animals and is willing to risk her freedom and body to help them. Also, didn't Rosa Parks engage in a disruptive protest? Do you not think that was a worthy / useful protest?

Swayze, did you watch Tash's interviews explaining herself? I think not, because you never mentioned it in the video, so you'd better do that first, before making assumptions about her motivation.

January is the traditional time to give up something. I’m not going veganury , sounds boring. I was tempted to go vegetarian and enjoy “vaganury “ sounds good 😂😂

As a non vegan, I feel her protests push more people away from veganism than towards it. Her one on one street debates just turn into a shouting matches rather than having a grounded discussion. She is purely in if for the attention and the backlash and if it wasn't for the money she makes on OF, I highly doubt she would be able to continue this type of activism.

...i have never seen this woman before this video

I like her and you all should understand the rage. but I think would be better the activism that that vegan couple did; Put screens on the street with recordings of the slaughterhouses and have conversations with people. Even some outside restaurants

Thank you for making a video on this important topic. This needs to be seriously discussed and evaluated more often by vegan activists.

Tash and Jack - 100% LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

already had to pause within 3 seconds of seeing her yell inside a restaurant establishment. this is such a good video about something we don't think twice about. I definitely cringe when people (try to) destroy centuries-old paintings for "climate" activism, so this video makes me feel not so alone ! And I have never realized they could be using their activism to market their OnlyFans. I think you do the best kind of activism

Loved the thumbnail, but your microphone, which is stupidly placed in front, ruins the view. Do you do OnlyFans by chance?
