A Harvey farmer fired two shots from his shotgun after a violent confrontation with two vegan activists who arrived unannounced at his property and began filming calves.

James Warden, a member of Direct Action Everywhere, was confronted by Harvey farmer Jason Parravicini outside his property on Wednesday.

Mr Warden and another member of the group, which is opposed to the killing of animals and the consumption of meat, were in a car filming calves at the front of the property and continued filming when Mr Parravicini confronted them at the driver’s window.

The farmer told the pair to leave but then tried to stop them departing by grabbing their car keys from the ignition, with punches thrown through the window moments later.

“Get the fu*k out of my place,” Mr Parravicini screamed at the vegans in the recording of the incident.

“You two are tormenting Harvey. Get the hell out of it.” Mr Warden said the farmer then went inside his house before emerging with a shotgun and firing two shots into the air.

Mr Parravicini said the vegans had provoked him by trying to force him off the road.

“If you want to be vegan by all means go for it,” he said.

“Just let us be. We’re getting harassed and made to look like we are mistreating our animals.”

Harvey police have interviewed Mr Parravicini. No charges have been laid.

Last year, Direct Action Everywhere protesters invaded Northbridge steakhouse Outback Jacks to launch a bizarre protest and vowed to target other businesses selling meat.
