UK animal rights group blockades four McDonald’s depots

Activists plan 24-hour protest in attempt to get company to turn fully plant-based by 2025

Animal rights protesters have set up blockades at four McDonald's distribution centres across Britain, which they say will affect about 1,300 restaurants.

Activists from Animal Rebellion used trucks and bamboo structures to blockade distribution sites at Hemel Hempstead, Basingstoke, Coventry and Heywood in Greater Manchester from about 4.30am on Saturday, the group said.
