Animal Rebellion Campaigners Vow To Cut Off Uk Milk Supplies Extinction Rebellion

Animal Rebellion, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion focused on the environmental damage of animal farming, claims to have hundreds of supporters willing to be arrested and jailed for immediate action. The group also said it would take action at supermarkets in five UK cities on Saturday, preventing shoppers from reaching the milk and dairy aisles. In a statement, the group said “millions of consumers will be unable to buy dairy milk” once it takes effect in the first two weeks of September. “We have spent months trying all the appropriate channels to work with the government on the scientific consensus to transition to a plant-based future, but they have chosen to ignore us,” Animal Rebellion’s statement said. “We have no choice but to engage in political resistance to press for government action to preserve our future. “We are announcing our intentions in advance and the British public [can] prepare for your milk supply to stop this September. We apologize for any stress this may cause during a cost of living crisis, but the government is sleepwalking each of us into poverty, misery and climate and ecological collapse. We can’t sit back and let it happen.” Animal Rebellion is known for its blockade-style tactics, having previously prevented access to McDonald’s distribution centres, factories and restaurants, the UK’s largest dairy and London’s last slaughterhouse. So far this year, activists from the group have disrupted the colors ceremony at the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations, stormed the track at Epsom Derby Racecourse and emptied milk bottles onto the floor in the food hall at Harrods department store in London. The group says it has raised more than £40,000 to support its campaign against milk supplies, but expects to receive more donations once the actions begin. Many of Animal Rebellion’s supporters and organizers have been instrumental in other environmental campaigns, including Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil.

At a press conference on Wednesday, the group said it was opposed to all livestock farming but was targeting milk because it was “the weak link in the livestock industry”. One in three households had already switched to non-dairy milks, while dairy farmers were among the hardest hit of all agricultural businesses, campaigners said. But, more importantly, milk had the shortest shelf life of all possible targets. Arla, the UK’s biggest dairy processor, declined to comment on the threatened protests. Dr Judith Bryans, chief executive of Dairy UK, said: “It is difficult to comment in advance before events happen, but we are very disappointed by Animal Rebellion’s planned action, which could cause completely unnecessary disruption to businesses and consumers and is not useful during a cost of living crisis. We will urge them to reconsider their actions.”
