Animal Rebellion said: ‘Hundreds of supporters of Animal Rebellion have taken to the streets of London today to unleash Plant-Based chaos demanding a Plant-Based Future’
‘The campaign is calling on the government to support farming and fishing communities in an urgent and immediate transition to a plant-based food system, and rewild the freed-up land to drawdown carbon from the atmosphere and bring back wildlife populations’
‘These actions are representative of the need for change in the cruel and environmentally destructive systems that exploit and kill trillions of nonhuman animals every year. We cannot allow this to keep going unchallenged’
