SBS The Feed | The vegans breaking the law to ‘liberate’ animals | Vegan Vigilantes | Short Documentary @SBSTheFeed | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Content warning: Contains images of animals in distress.
A small, secretive group has made it their mission to ‘liberate’ animals – by any means necessary. These animal rights activists are ready to break the law for their cause, from taking chickens from farms to storming abattoirs. But farmers say they’re being unfairly targeted and feel unsafe in their own backyard.
The Feed investigates Australia’s vegan underground to find out: how far are they prepared to go? We speak to an animal rights activist who’s willing to risk it all, and farmers whose lives have been impacted.
