‘Shut down’ is a bit of a stretch. They didn’t stop anyone doing anything.
I wouldn’t even notice. I don’t eat meat.
Thats a completely irresponsible campaign, with the countries obesity levels and the dangers of drunk people cooking at midnight telling people to think of burgers, bacon and kebabs at midnight is completely irresponsible.
I would grab a packet of burgers and say “happy moo year” to the protesters.
Respect to them for standing up for what they believe in.
I’d get what I wanted (some meat) and if you tried to stop me physically, I’d react physically.
Why the fuck do you think you have a right to tell me what to feel? Campaign all you like, it’s a free country, but don’t try to stop me going about my business once I’ve made up my mind.
I would reach right over top of them and collect what I wanted. Might even buy something I don’t want just to get in their way. Would be even better if the meat was dripping a bit.
I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t force it on anybody or make it an issue. I don’t expect to change anybody’s mind on eating meat, it’s been a fact of life for millions of years that humans eat meat. Animals eat meat.
If it comes up in conversation, I do only ask that people try to consider buy their meat responsibly, from places which allowed the animals to have some quality of life. Which isn’t always possible of course and most folk don’t give it a second thought.
These wee fannies make me want to start eating meat again.
Absolutely nothing, probably? I can’t afford to be in the meat aisle at Tesco anyway.
I believe in animal rights and I agree our current industrial livestock farming & processing system is on the whole pretty abysmal (for the animals, farmers, and consumers). However, I don’t think veganism is the answer and blocking the meat aisle of a local supermarket is both laughably ineffective and perhaps more than a little bit embarrassing.
Give them a word of encouragement and ask them to keep up the good work.
“Excuse me mate can you turn around and grab that bacon for me? Cheers.”
I would go to Lidl, Tesco is usually overpriced anyway
What bothers me the most is the OP’s comment on this video (from the original post, not the one in this sub) stating this is the “animal holocaust”. I’m all for eating healthy and I respect vegans and vegetarians but… Jesus Christ. Cmon now.
Reach over and buy what I wanted whilst trying not to disturb the protesters.
Idk, probably just reach over them and grab what I need?
They’d be more in the way and the signs would be easier to see if they were all stood up. Seems a bit futile really.
Lean over them? I was already aware that we need to kill the animal in order to eat it.
Sad, sad people in so many ways.
I’d eat meat in front them. Easy.
I would politely lean over them and continue my shop/day as normal.
Waste of police resources and a minor inconvenience is all I see from this.
Very kind of them to offer free flowers with my steak 👌
T bag ’em ,as I took a t-bone steak!
They’ve every right to protest but I a)don’t shop in Tesco meat aisle as it’s expensive and seldom local or even Scottish and b) if I was I’d buy my meat anyway.
I eat less meat than I used to and will continue to do so but I’m not stopping eating meat and nor particularly does anyone else.
We really do need to eat a lot lot less of it though but that’s for a shit load of reasons including industrial farming and climate change but also personal health. Less but higher quality meat is the way to go as is better animal welfare but Scotlands among the worlds best at that anyway and while it can always be better the images they live to show are never from Scotland of Scottish farms
Except the chickens, factory farmed chicken is like farmed salmon and pure shite. Real chicken ain’t cheap though !
>*Tesco staff panicked and didn’t know what to do*
No shit
Absolutely ridiculous… They need locking up
Some truly nasty people out in force here today
Go to marks and Spencer they don’t let riff raff in and buy a nice fillet steak
😀🥾😫
I worked at a slaughter house as a teenager almost 40 years, it changed me as a person, I had horrific nightmares, I quit after a few months and started busking in the town, I was rubbish but it was healing.
Nobody should eat meat unless you can see exactly how it gets to your plate. 95% of people wouldn’t eat meat factory farmed.
Meat was and is a special thing, we treat it like its a fruit, it’s not, the world will change one day, we are living in a lower consciousness society so plated sanitised slaughter is profitable.
Genocide of people is acceptable in Palestine, Sudan Yemen so animals have no chance against that mentally.
I hope one day people grow up.
These protestors are not the enemy, they are trying to speak for those that have no voice.
Respect, all life is precious.
Yep, excuse me, reach past and get whatever I need.
I’d have slapped them with a ham
>victims of this animal holocaust
Get a fucking grip, comparing cattle bred *for* consumption to the murder of millions of humans is absurd. Not a single one of these cattle was born with the prospect of becoming president or curing cancer or *doing anything other than keeping alive those who could.*
>*Tesco staff panicked and didn’t know what to do*
No fucking shit, sherlock. That’s weird. You’ve taped your mouths shut, holding up pictures of food while blocking people from getting it. You’re sitting on a dirty cold floor and you’re in people way. They’re not qualified to deal with fucking crazy people, they turn up, stock shelves, get paid and fuck off. Do you have a job? Let us know where so we can see what you do when we turn up and act like fucking clowns.
>The police came (because we were so militant) and politely asked if we would leave
Now you’re throwing shade at the police for knowing what to do!
>Tesco staff had no idea what to do or how to handle it
They called the police, didn’t they?
>These victims deserve to be seen.
No they don’t, given that their only purpose and reason for life is to be consumed to give those of us with anything better to do than sitting on a filthy floor getting in peoples way, they deserve to be *eaten.*
>This is an injustice and we will not stop showing the public the truth.
I don’t think anybody is confused where meat comes from, except maybe the row of plebs who don’t understand that the lives they are “fighting” for (again, by sitting on a dirty floor in peoples way) only exist to be consumed.
Eat Iskandar Kebab in front of these guys. Their mouths can be a new source of hydro power.
Did they buy the flowers, or just raid the flower stand on the way in? The ones I can see look to be in Tesco packaging.
“The staff didn’t know what to do” You get a manager, it’s not your problem. They stood around and watched, cause it was probably the most interesting thing that had happened while they were working there.

I’d reach past them and buy what I needed.
Fannies.
‘Scuse me, just need to reach around.
