An animal rights protest group stormed a stage and glued themselves to gates during an event at the Royal Highland Show, just outside Edinburgh today.
Members of Animals Rising gained access to the stage, where the Golden Shears World Championship was being held, at roughly 1.45pm today. Pictures from the scene show the protesters dressed in pink t-shirts reading 'Animal Rising: For All Life' and holding up signs with 'facts' about the farming industry.
Other members also glued themselves to gates where sheep were being kept during the event in Islington, Edinburgh Live reports. The activists said the goal of their protest was to continue ‘a national conversation about our broken relationship with other animals and nature that began in April when the group disrupted the Grand National at Aintree, and the Scottish Grand National in Ayr.’
