‘I’m covered in blood’: Vegan activist says she was shot at by ‘extremely aggressive’ farmers after rabbit raid
A vegan activist who “rescued 16 rabbits” has been left “covered in blood” after being chased down the highway and shot at by angry farmers.
A vegan activist who “rescued 16 rabbits” claims she was left “covered in blood” after being chased down the highway and “shot at” by angry farmers.
“This is what has just happened to us, look, I’m documenting the whole thing,” the Barcelona-based activist who goes by the handle “Mythical Mia” says in the video posted to Instagram earlier this week.
“I’m covered in blood. This is what the farmers have done. They shot through our window and chased us down the motorway. Oh my God, I’m literally covered in blood.”
In the post’s caption, the woman wrote, “Today we entered a rabbit farm and rescued 16 lives. The farmer was extremely aggressive and attacked us, strangling activists and smashing their heads with metal poles.” The woman, who has a British accent, describes herself on her social media pages as “active for a world where veganism is the only option”
She added that the “most important thing is that the non-human animals are safe”. “They are far from that hell hole. I don’t want this to be about me at all, I just want people to know how evil farmers are. If this is how they treat humans, how can we expect them to care for animals?” she said.
The woman has since raised $1150 (€710) on online fundraiser GoFundMe to pay for “vet bills, sanctuary costs including transportation, bedding, food etc”.
It comes as a number of so-called “direct action” vegan protests targeting farms and businesses spark calls for calm from authorities.
In March, hundreds of militant vegans stormed a Queensland farmer’s property.
The previous month, a frustrated farmer was filmed firing a shotgun in the air after a heated altercation with vegans who refused to leave his property south of Perth. Police ruled out charges against Jason Parravacini over that incident.
Last year, a group of vegan protesters stormed a Melbourne steak restaurant chanting slogans through loudspeakers and yelling at customers, leaving a number of diners “very upset”.

What he did is wrong, but that doesn't mean murdering a sentient being, that feels pain, terror, anxiety and emotions similar to us is ok to be killed.
I'm not a vegan, but this is wrong. But also how we treat sentient beings is wrong, do you disagree?

Am i missing something here? Were the farmers playing baseball with the rabbits? Serious question.

If your not Vegan you eat meat that comes from livestock on farms and ranches. How do you eat meat without harvesting the animals?
Livestock are pampered like pets on most farms and ranches. You take really good care of them if you want a good product. They live pampered lives in most cases.

Pampered until they have their young taken away, then eventually have their throats slit. That's real good care 👍🏻

I was pretty sure that he wasn’t a PETA member . Thanks for the clarification. I just didn’t think animal rights activists had the same ring to it . 🤔
