Droitwich Muller protesters glue themselves to ground

Several protests have taken place at Muller in Droitwich since Sunday

Protesters outside a Muller dairy factory have glued themselves to the ground and chained themselves to fences.

Earlier in the week, 18 members of Animal Rebellion were arrested at the site in Droitwich, Worcestershire.

The protesters arrived at the weekend, climbing on to lorries in an attempt to disrupt supplies.

Muller has said supplies would continue but it was "disappointed to be targeted by a small number of activists".

Animal Rebellion wants support for farmers in starting to operate a plant-based food system.

They targeted four dairies on Sunday - three run by Muller in Droitwich, Severnside in Gloucestershire and Bridgwater in Somerset - the fourth in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, is run by Arla and is the UK's largest milk factory.

On Monday, Droitwich and Aylesbury sites were targeted again, with protesters returning to Droitwich on Tuesday.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Muller said the firm was targeted on Thursday by a small number of activists who had scaled fences.

Despite that, it said supplies had not been interrupted and it was committed to providing customers with fresh milk.
