Submitted by the left movement Animal RebellionA protest by environmentalists against the dairy industry ended in Hatfield, 30 kilometers from London, with at least 50 damaged trucks and 20 activists stranded. The crime took place at the Arla and Muller factories last week.
Videos released by the militants themselves can be seen using knives, pliers and even drills to cut the tires of vehicles. The aim was not only to prevent trucks full of milk from delivering the goods, but also to encourage companies to sell milk of nonanimal origin.
It’s day 5 and Animal Rebellion has disrupted ANOTHER milk processing and distribution center. Arla Hatfield is the seventh disrupted site.

Prisoners are held liable for damage to private property and trespassing. Despite this, leftwing activists have warned that demonstrations will continue until the government responds to requests from vegans to use alternative milks.
The Animal Rebellion initiative also served as a rebuff to the UK’s new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, who had appointed MP Jacob ReesMogg as Minister for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Mogg is skeptical about human intervention in climate change.
This isn’t the first time Animal Rebellion environmentalists have sparked controversy over milk. In August, members of the movement emptied bottles of the liquid in a London shopping center. The militants were removed from the crime scene. The law was directed against “climate change”.
