    Vegan Rebellion

    Vegetarians must be annoyed -

    https://www.theguardian.com/environm...uckinghamshire

    Vegan environmental activists have blockaded a dairy distribution centre in Buckinghamshire, which they say handles one-tenth of the milk supply in the UK, while a dozen other activists have sought to occupy the headquarters of WWF.

    About 50 activists from Animal Rebellion, a sister group to Extinction Rebellion, blocked the gates to the Arla distribution centre near Aylesbury, locking on to bamboo structures and concrete barricades to prevent lorries from gaining access.

    Pictures circulated by the group showed activists locked on to at least one precarious bamboo structure, and others chained together beneath a van with a banner stretched across one side reading “Plant-based by 2025”.

    They are demanding that Arla, a Denmark-based multinational food conglomerate with an annual turnover of about €10bn, switches entirely to plant-based foods by 2025.

    James Ozden, one of the group, said they had began their direct action at about 5am, with activists walking into the Aylesbury site and assembling their lock-on structures. By 9am about 10 police officers had arrived, he said. Workers and drivers expecting to work from the site were standing around outside.

    Ozden pointed to the recent IPCC report on the need for drastic action on greenhouse gas emissions “including methane, which is in large part a byproduct of animal farming”.

    He said: “Companies like Arla claim to be leading the way in tackling the climate crisis, yet until these big multinationals start to talk seriously about the inevitable need to transition our food system to one that is plant-based, their words are empty.”

    Arla said it was a farmers’ cooperative committed to producing dairy products in the most sustainable way possible, and that it intends to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

    Step 1. Kill all the animals.

      It’s nigh time for 99.9999% of society not involved in these protests to form active groups that will start making effective protests against these protestors to make their own life inconvenient just like they do for others.

        only if they're violent protests.

              So, if all these ruminants are farting all over the place and causing global warming, does that mean vegans want them all slaughtered? Are we allowed to eat them as one last blow out meal or should they just be dumped in landfill?

              If it's cruel to kill a healthy animal then we're not solving the farting = climate death issue and who is going to pay for these animals to be kept, on land that they say should be used for crops to feed us with lower quality protein than you get from meat.

              Why do they always have to shout and whine and not help come up with solutions?

                And what shall we fertilise the crops with? And with what shall we fortify the nutritionally poor plant milks. Do they realise that most farm animals will become extinct, its just lunacy on a religious scale. Yes we should eat less meat and try to ensure it is sourced from humane production, but also more of the 'poor' cuts and offal to avoid waste. Spring lamb should be banned, should eat Hoggard's instead after a summer on grass not even knowing its captive. Bring back local abattoirs to decrease stress and absolutely ban exports of live animals for slaughter.

                  Most sustainable way to feed ourselves without going vegan is to take up cannibalism.
