A standoff between farmers and vegan activists in Western Australia (WA) has prompted the federal minister for agriculture to ask all involved to calm down.
Minister David Littleproud has called for calm after footage went viral last week, appearing to show Harvey farmer Jason Parravacini attacking Direct Action Everywhere Member James Warden who was filming cows on the rural property without permission. Parravacini later appeared on the same video and could be seen firing a shotgun.
