One thing I would warn however, is its not a great idea to openly ask online about why vegans don't do certain things that would disrupt farmers more, as they are so stupid to have not thought it up themselves, they then jump on the ideas and start using them when they see them.

100% agree. Let's hope they don't find out about the new combined market and abattoir at Cape Wrath. Very impressive and ruthlessly efficient, I'm told, but so new it doesn't even appear on google maps.

Yes, let's hope they don't hear about that, it would probably be an easy one for them to get shut down from what i heard about it.

I’m surprised they don’t take a day trip to beautiful West Wales and hold up a Mart there 🤔. Or perhaps their vegan principles don’t run to getting the sort of welcome I suspect they would be on the receiving end of .....😂😂
Remember seeing a tractor in Ireland towing a trailer of cattle he was bowling along at 40 kph a few hundred yards from mart entrance. Vegan activists jumped out in front of him, he bowled on past with vegans throwing themselves aside. As he explained to the guard, couldn't brake too sharply or might have injured cattle🙄

That would be the last straw for the UK cattle industry, especially during winter! Don't they process the largest percentage of cattle in the UK out of all the abbatoirs there are? Must be thousands going through every day.
