MORE protesters have been arrested outside Muller in Droitwich, after a protest to try to cut off the supply of fresh milk across England.

Protesters from Animal Rebellion are at Muller Dairy site in Hampton Lovett today (Tuesday) to mark the third day of protests.

West Mercia Police also arrived at the scene, which they said was to help facilitate a peaceful protest and enable traffic to move freely.

The activist group, who campaign for a plant-based future, warned 10 Downing Street of disruptive action in September unless progress towards their demands were made.

Chief Inspector Gareth Morgan said: “Our officers are there to facilitate a peaceful protest and ensure that traffic is able to move freely.

“We respect the right to peaceful protest but we will take proportionate action when the law is broken.

“Those who commit crimes while protesting will be dealt with fairly but robustly by West Mercia Police.”

Assistant Chief Constable Richard Cooper said: “We respect the right to peaceful protest but we will take proportionate action when the law is broken.”

“Those who commit crimes while protesting will be dealt with fairly but robustly by West Mercia Police.”

A spokesperson for Müller UK & Ireland said: “Supplies of milk are being maintained due to the hard work and professionalism of our employees. 

“This small group of activists don’t represent the 96 per cent of adults in Britain who choose milk every week.

“Dairy is affordable and packed with nutrients that benefit our bodies.

"During a cost of living crisis it is wrong to try to prevent it from reaching families, including vulnerable members of society.”
