A climate and animal activist group took to Bristol's streets last night (February 13), the night before Valentine's Day, calling for a transition to a plant-based system. Local supporters of Animal Rebellion are also vocalising that Britain 'lives up' to its label of a 'nation of animal lovers' so it can secure a future for generations to come.
The activist group spray painted and displayed pink and white posters across Bristol city centre with the slogan "Don't Break Any Hearts This Valentines Day, Be Part Of A Plant-Based Future". One photo showed posters stuck on the side of the empty Colston plinth, and 'LOVE' and an animal paw print spray-painted on the ground, right next to the smashed-up concrete slab where the slave trader's statue landed when it was pulled down.
It's not only local residents who will be waking up to fresh paint as the group also targeted Exeter, Brighton, Birmingham, London, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester and Edinburgh. Animal Rebellion said it is urging wholesale governmental and societal support for farmers and fishing communities to transition to a plant-based food system.
