Climate Activists Pour Out Milk in Edinburgh Grocery Store

Activists poured milk out in a grocery store in Edinburgh, Scotland, and other locations across the United Kingdom, on Saturday, October 15, as a part of a climate protest organized by the Animal Rebellion group.

The environmental organization, with the goal of “transitioning to a plant-based food system,” said that “dairy, like all forms of animal farming, is an incredibly wasteful and destructive industry, and a major contributor to the climate crisis that is currently threatening all life on Earth.”

Video filmed by Animal Rebellion on Saturday shows people dumping bottles of milk onto the floor in an Edinburgh Waitrose store. One person holds a sign reading “plant-based future” as others pour milk and explain their cause, footage shows.
