Animal rights group blockades McDonald’s UK distribution centres – Reuters

Campaign group Animal Rebellion said activists were blockading distribution centres of McDonald’s (MCD.N) in Britain on Saturday to demand the restaurant chain turn to plant-based foods.

Around 50 protesters were using trucks and bamboo structures to stop lorries from leaving McDonald's four distribution centres in the United Kingdom, the group said in a statement.

A spokeswoman for McDonald's UK apologised to its customers for the disruption.
