Disruption of the Dairy Industry with Animal Rebellion, Part 2 of 2

“In Animal Rebellion, what we're really keen on is that we are in a climate and ecological emergency. So, this transition has to be absolutely rapid. And for that to happen, the Government really needs to kickstart into action and pretty much direct all resources towards getting off fossil fuels, towards ending animal farming and fishing, and transforming society. Boris Johnson has publicly said that we will be facing complete collapse, civilizational collapse, if we do not act. So, we're very kindly, but firmly, going to be asking governments to change.”

Our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai explains Heaven’s expectation for a leader. “You have the duty to take care of people who trust you. And then Heaven will bless you and you can do more, continuously, if you do the right thing.” “So, all the heads of the countries should be more involved – more responsible, more vocal and more active in saving the world, reducing climate change and saving the lives of all on the planet, including themselves.”

On September 3, 2022, the “Stop the Supply of Dairy” protest rolled out as planned. September 6, 2022, was the first day in office for the new former Prime Minister of the UK, Her Excellency Liz Truss. Empty milk shelves were reported in various locations in the south of the UK, including Portsmouth.

On September 8, 2022, following the announcement of the passing of Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Animal Rebellion paused their campaign out of respect. Supreme Master Ching Hai expressed Her condolences and shared Her heartfelt respect for Her Royal Majesty for signing the Animal Sentience Bill.

Although the “Stop the Supply of Dairy” ended unexpectedly early, the “Plant-Based Future” campaign continues. In October, Animal Rebellion called all vegans to “Occupy London” – an act of “Love and Resistance”; in November, thousands gathered for the “Britain is Broken” national protest - and more to come, as the organization promises to continue civil disobedience until the government meets their demands.
