Milk and protestors

Direct action against dairies, animal cruelty and the climate crisis.

Direct action against dairies, animal cruelty, and the climate crisis.

Animal Rebellion protestors have blockaded dairies, making the case for a “plant-based future”. They say the dairy industry is a key contributor to the climate crisis and is based on cruelty and exploitation. Online, opponents say they want to choose what they eat and that the direct action is counter-productive. Are the claims made by protesters true? And why is milk such a touchy subject in this country?
