Animal Rebellion plans to cause “large-scale material disruption to the supply of dairy”
NEWS: Animal Rebellion has revealed its plans to cause “large-scale material disruption to the supply of dairy”.
The Extinction Rebellion-affiliated direct action group, who earlier this month disrupted the Queen’s Jubilee and Epsom Derby, has released a launch video for their new campaign.
In the video, the group outline their demands for a transition to a plant-based future where workers are supported to move away from the “destructive industries” of meat, dairy and fishing. Animal Rebellion called for the land freed up by such a shift to be devoted to rewilding to draw-down carbon from the atmosphere and restore biodiversity.
The group claims it is targeting dairy as a key contributor to the climate and ecological emergencies by promising to cause large-scale disruption in the month of September.
Emma de Saram, the spokesperson for the campaign, said: “The science is clear. We are running out of time to secure a livable future for everyone. We are calling on our Government to urgently begin a transition to a plant-based food system where we would use significantly fewer natural resources, less energy, and less land.
“Rewilding spaces previously ravaged by the meat, dairy, and fishing industries would have the dual benefit of drawing-down carbon from the atmosphere and restoring precious biodiversity.
“We are hoping that people will hear our message and support us in sustained action to stop the supply of dairy this September.”
