The NGO, which is protesting animal cruelty in the dairy industry, shared information about one such "milk pour" campaign, which drew harsh criticism from Twitter users, including vegans. The tweet said: Milk Pours are currently happening across the UK.

The post drew thousands of responses, with the vast majority criticizing the campaign as wasteful and detrimental to the cause.

Even vegans are not in support of Animal Rebellion s campaigns

According to the Animal Rebellion's website, the organization's goal is to target systems rather than individuals through nonviolent means. However, as many Twitter users pointed out, pouring milk on the supermarket floor required a minimum-wage employee to clean up, as well as some shoppers who were unable to purchase milk for the day. This is disgusting behaviour. Some poor cleaner on minimum wage will be tasked with cleaning this up. This is disgusting behaviour. Some poor cleaner on minimum wage will be tasked with cleaning this up. The campaign struck a user as particularly tone-deaf in the midst of the UK's economic crisis. We are going through an incredibly difficult financial times here in the UK. This milk could have been used for babies for parents who are finding times hard. Or for cereals for children.

Several voiced their dissent over these actions, and did not want the message behind veganism to be associated with such a movement. I've been vegan for 8 years now & mortified by this. Waitrose will now have to order yet more dairy milk to replace it. So that's more harm done. And as a shop worker I would be one of the people who had to come & clean this up.

If anything,this sets the vegan cause back years. I'm verging on vegan, and I agree. If anything,this sets the vegan cause back years. Many commented that the move was counter-productive and damaging to the message they were attempting to convey. You can’t see how you damage your own cause by behaving like dictators telling others what they can drink and eat! You are turning off the people you want to support you You can’t see how you damage your own cause by behaving like dictators telling others what they can drink and eat!

You do this when so many are struggling trying to decide whether to heat or eat? Be ashamed. This is actively turning people against your cause.

The consensus was that that the campaign was a "waste of resources" and group was achieving nothing but jail time for themselves. This in a waste of resources!!
For the love of the hell, everyone has different dietary essentials.
They are only giving themselves a bad rep and possible jail time. This in a waste of resources!!For the love of the hell, everyone has different dietary essentials.

The group has previously been detained for vandalism, obstructing and preventing food distribution, trespassing on livestock industry grounds, and blocking streets.

He, however, added: “Yet, they have resulted in a massive, critical, discussion about the importance of transitioning to a plant-based food system and following the advice coming out of Oxford and Harvard Universities."
