Sunday, 12 July 2020 _Protesters dyed bright red the water of two fountains in London's Trafalgar Square in a protest on Saturday (July 11) against the farming of animals.
A few dozen activists from the Animal Rebellion group held placards aloft reading "Global boiling" and "Don't bait me" as dye was poured into the fountain's basins. Two activists dressed in shark and lobster costumes climbed into the fountain during the demonstration.
"We are here today to demand that the government prevent future pandemics by ending animal farming and transitioning to a plant-based food system," the group said in a statement, adding red symbolized "blood that is on the hands of the UK government."
Police later said two people had been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.
