No doubt they’ll get a soft warning and be free to carry on, this is a protest for milking cows , what is supposed to happen if cows aren’t milked? surely they’d die ?

I would much prefer the bull calves that are born to dairy cows be eaten as veal rather than shot at birth and incinerated

It's the white veal that is the real problem IMHO.

If you click on 'watch full video' at the end, there's a female protestor laying on the floor as if she's fainted/been knocked out/play acting. Someone should have poured a pint of milk over her to revive her!

This speaks less to the validity of the cause, than to the pointlessness of the action.

Protest is only ever going to change minds, which is its point, if it is directed and carried out in a way that is effective.

This protest is clearly a stupid thoughtless attention-seeking piece of nonsense which does nothing to address the issues the protestors wish to change, but merely highlights the perception of the larger public, that vegans are self-centered egotistical arrogant time-wasters who should be made to pay for the damage they cause.

It might be a good idea for someone to explain to them that the only reason they are standing there today acting like *** is because they could only be fed milk for the first few months.

You can buy ethically produced veal. I know it's stocked by M and S...

To me they were a bunch of 'Uni' students thinking 'Right on' I know what we can do... nobs!

Stop sitting on the fence Andy and say what you really think.

In Belgium 1940, ( what really? yup) the farmers had abandoned the farms and My aulld Dad organised wivda SBO's permission those troopers who were farm hands to milk the cows

farm hands getting restive at the cows expressing pain
