Vegan activists slammed

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Vegan activists in the UK who recently held sit-ins in supermarket dairy sections across the country have been copping it from consumers.

One Twitter user wrote, "Animal Rebellion really are a bunch of w***ers. Do you know who benefits most from the milk supply? Children. Children benefit. The reason you're as tall as you are is because they gave you milk as a child."

Another wrote, "Now the lunatics from Animal Rebellion are blocking milk aisles in supermarkets. When will these crazed woke shenanigans stop!"

And a third said, "All these protestors will be doing is giving genuine vegans a bad name [and] may end up pushing the price of milk even further."

Members of Animal Rebellion staged the protest at high-end grocery stores in four English cities as they called for the British Government to make an "urgent and immediate transition to a plant-based food system".
