Animal Rebellion activists superglued themselves on Muller lorries, causing complete chaos.
About 40 members of the Animal Rebellion climbed on top of the cars to protest, which immediately stopped traffic.
As part of its push for a plant-based food system, the organization is seizing four dairies throughout the UK.

Assistant Chief Constable of West Mercia Police Richard Cooper said: “We respect the right to peaceful protest but we will take proportionate action when the law is broken.”
“Those who commit crimes while protesting will be dealt with fairly but robustly by West Mercia Police.”

More than 40 enterprises that operate out of the industrial park on Pointon Way have had problems as a result of the protest.
The majority of the lorries that were occupied, according to the workers, were empty of any food products.

Lorry driver Manny Singh said: "I’ve been here since 7 am, it’s just awful.”
Tom Price, who works for AKW Medicare near the Muller plant, said: “It’s not going to change the world, I've had to come to work, I was late, I was late to earn money.”

Jokingly, lorry drivers said they'd give the protesters free food if they came down.
One person yelled: "I'll take you for a free course meal if you come down."
A spokesperson for Muller UK & Ireland told LADbible: “Supplies of fresh milk are being maintained due to the hard work and professionalism of our employees.”

“We have experienced isolated incidents of criminal damage to vehicles at our sites, with activists endangering themselves and our employees by bringing knives and drills onto our facilities.”
“This small group of activists does not represent the 96 percent of adults in Britain who choose milk every week and are our priority.”
“During a cost of the living crisis, we will continue to ensure that it reaches families, including vulnerable members of society.”
