The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Animal rights protesters scale government building to demand UK switches to vegan diets” – below is their description.
Environmental campaigners who have scaled a Government building in Westminster say they plan to stay there “indefinitely”.
Four activists from Animal Rebellion, an offshoot of Extinction Rebellion, used ladders, ropes and harnesses to climb the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) office as high as “20 metres” at around 6am on Tuesday.
The group says it is demanding an end to subsidies for meat and dairy farming in a protest against climate change.
They plans to stay in place until Boris Johnson pledges to urge all world leaders to also end such subsidies when they attend the Cop26 summit next week
