PROTESTORS from Animal Rebellion have returned to the Müller Bridgwater site in the early hours of the morning (Monday, September 5).
People climbed on top of delivery trucks and set off green flairs as part of the protest.
Around Rebellion said: "Around 00:00 on 5/9/22, 15 supporters of Animal Rebellion trespassed into Arla Aylesbury, breaking a High Court injunction, and significantly disrupting the site’s processing and distribution capacities.
"Hours later at around 3am other individuals entered Müller facilities at Droitwich and Bridgwater and carried out similar actions."
It is the second time in 24 hours, Animal Rebellion supporters have trespassed onto critical dairy distribution facilities.
The nonviolent actions taken by Animal Rebellion on both the morning of the 4th, as well as in the early hours of this morning, were intended to seriously disable the ability of the facilities to process and distribute milk.
Today's actions also saw vehicles being disabled inside the facilities in a marked escalation.
Yesterday, Müller UK & Ireland told the Bridgwater Mercury: “We are disappointed to be targeted by a small number of activists who don’t represent the 96% of adults in Britain who choose milk every week, and we will ensure that supplies are maintained.
“Dairy is affordable and packed with nutrients that benefit our bodies. During a cost of living crisis it is wrong to try to prevent it from reaching families, including vulnerable members of society.”
