Following an article in the Cambridge Evening News regarding peoples concerns about the promotion of the meat from the Midsummer Common cows at Waller & Sons butchers, local animal rights campaigners protested to ask concerned people to have compassion for all animals and switch to a plant based diet.

According to Animal Rights Cambridge "It is upsetting, we agree, but then so is killing any farmed animal just for our taste buds. If people are truly offended about this it's time for them to give up eating animals."

The campaigners are calling for people to try out a vegetarian diet. "Even if it's only for a week. Give it a go! There are fantastic veggie options available these days, it's just about finding what's right for you."

The protesters also point out the environmental argument for leaving animal products off your plates. "The UN is now saying that animal agriculture causes more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world put together! If we want to save the planet going veggie is an excellent start!" "The threat from animal agriculture must be a key environmental issue no two ways about it."
