Animal Rebellion reveal if they will return after Muller protest and going viral on Twitter

Animal Rebellion has led several non-violent campaigns in order to encourage the transition into a plant-based future since September.

The group previously superglued their hands to the top of lorries outside the Muller Milk and Ingredients site in Hampton Lovett in Droitwich.

Animal Rebellion was set to go ahead with its biggest protest to date but put its plans on hold following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

But a month later, a video of activists throwing pints of milk on the floor of Waitrose in Edinburgh received 5,160 likes, 12,500 retweets and a whopping 22,700 comments.

And the group have plans to carry out its activism throughout the country.

Animal Rebellion has been campaigning for a plant-based future since 2019, and The Worcester News spoke to a volunteer from the group to understand why they had taken such drastic steps. 

Nathan McGovern, who has been a volunteer for Animal Rebellion for about a year, said the group has carried out marches and written to councillors and MPs but their demands of a plant-based future have not been met.  

The dairy industry is incredibly environmentally destructive.
🔥The world’s top 5 meat and dairy corporations are now responsible for more GHG emissions than Exxon, Shell or BP.

Mr McGovern,23, said: "We will stop as soon as we are offered a seat at the table. 

"And we will do whatever it non-violently takes. 

"We've started a national conversation. We've made this a national discussion and we've had comments from three MPs, and though the comments weren't positive, people are still talking about it."
