Members of Animal Rebellion, a protest group affiliated with Extinction Rebellion, arrived a branch in Falmouth on Saturday. Around 50 so-called 'rebels' occupied the seating inside and outside the restaurant from around 12pm, reports say. In a social media post, Animal Rebellion demanded that McDonald's change its menu to be entire vegan and plant-based. A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesperson said: "We engaged with protestors and staff at the restaurant and monitored the situation. Members from the campaign group Global Justice Now also gathered in Falmouth to protest against the uneven vaccine distribution across the world.
