Milk Protests Across UK

Animal rights activists have staged dramatic 'milk pouring' protests inside department stores and supermarkets across the UK yesterday. Of course, this was not the first time and for sure, it won't be the last.

The group co-ordinated the action in venues like Waitrose, Whole Foods and Marks and Spencer in Manchester, Norwich, Edinburgh and not forgetting London. 

One video footage shows protesters pouring milk at Harrods' food hall in Knightsbridge. Another was filmed emptying milk bottles on to the floor and across a table laden with cheeses in Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly. 

Animal Rebellion said they are calling for a plant-based future and highlighting the need to support farmers in transitioning to a sustainable plant-based food system. 

There are those who criticized these protestors as doing far more harm than good for the important agenda that is climate change. Certainly, they are alienating the general public. Besides, is wasting food really the way to go right now during a cost of living crisis? They don’t seem to have given any thought as to the optics of their actions which are negative. 

Then, there’s the counter-argument that they have been trying for so long to combat climate change through more “polite” means and it hasn’t done a heck of a lot of good. Jack shit, really. 

And for all you know, it may be a stunt by the dairy industry to make those who oppose them look fucking stupid and further lower public opinion of them! 

To be honest, I don’t know what is what anymore!
