Animal rights protestors have scaled the roof of a major meat industry event - leading to chaos. The activists climbed onto the the building where a major beef industry event will be held today.
The protesters scaled the Darlington Farmers Auction Mart (DFAM) in the early hours with huge banners condemning farming and agriculture. The National Beef Association (NBA) 2022 Expo is the largest of its kind in the UK - with industry leaders, DEFRA representatives and 5,000 beef farmers expected to attend over the weekend.
The stunt has already caused chaos - with one activist hospitalised with a suspected broken finger having been allegedly assaulted by farmers on the roof.
