GREENPEACE COWS INVADE SAINSBURYS FLAGSHIP STORE

Over 50 Greenpeace volunteers dressed as panto cows invaded Sainsburys in Greenwich today to highlight the use of GM in animal feed by Sainsbury's - and therefore the Scary in the dairy.


Activists occupied the roof of the store, as well as locking onto the dairy desk. Cows also wondered around outside talking to the public and entertaining the police! A large inflatable milk bottle labelled, "GM MILK - Sold Here" was also inflated on the roof, and then later due to winds on the ground outside.

Noone was arrested, thought they almost froze.

This is the first in a series of actions planned by Greenpeace targetting Sainsburys. Sainsburys play a key role in how successful the commercialisation of GM miaze will be.
