Animal Rebellion said they are using trucks and bamboo structures at the distribution sites in Hemel Hempstead, Basingstoke, Coventry and Heywood, Greater Manchester, to stop lorries from leaving depots. Animal Rebellion said they intend to remain at the sites for at least 24 hours, causing 'significant disruption' to the McDonald's supply chain. And McDonalds announced it is looking into how the blockade will affect deliveries to its restaurants. Animal rights protesters are blockading four UK distribution centres for McDonald's which they say will impact roughly 1,300 restaurants. Protester Linda Doyle, 28, is part of the blockade at McDonald's distribution centre in Coventry.
