Pro-vegan messages painted onto the rear of a Champion Lakes property have been painted over by a volunteer group funded by the local council.

Civic Pride Action Group painted over messages emblazoning the property's back fence and shed, encouraging others to "Stop Eating Animals" and "Be Vegan".

Disappointed local resident Kelle had asked the group to not paint over the messages, but the group argued the back fence was public property.

"He asked if the address on his paper was mine and I said yes," she said.
