We're just gonna walk in and occupy the space.
We're gonna show them the future of Smithfield meat market
as a fruit and veg market.
Animal Rebellion,
here we go!
CROWDS SINGING: I will
walk with you
and sing your spirit home.
We've just done a procession the whole way round Smithfields.
We were surrounded by
dead bodies,
body parts of animals.
We've all been conditioned to believe mass slaughter is OK.
Their suffering is why we're doing this.
They will all be saved.
I wonder what the workers thought of that,
Oh wow, it's gonna be, it's gonna be incredible.
Great time to be alive for the animals.
Yeah.
Climate justice, animal rights!
We all split up into smaller groups
to try and basically deter
people from approaching us.
Come on, go, go, go.
Keep going, guys, keep going.
It's absurd,
this is childlike.
Do you even know what we're standing for?
I do know what you're standing for.
Explain to me what you think we're doing here then?
It's trying to live
in a more environmentally friendly way,
how did you get here?
I feel they're not living
as they say they are here to protest about.
How did they get to London?
Did they come by bicycle? Did they walk?
The typical reaction to vegans
is to dislike vegans.
When really we shouldn't be talking about vegans at all.
It's about the non-human animals.
It's about the victims.
Tell me what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy looks like.
Make some noise everyone!
Because my eyes are so open to injustice,
it just feels like a crushing weight on my conscience.
Like, I can't even explain it.
Like, I can't not do something.
I think it's around 20 past two in the morning.
We're just walking to Billingsgate fish market
where there'll be an Animal Rebellion action
it's been publicly announced.
I'm super tired, I haven't really slept any night,
and yeah, this one's been no different.
There's 150 of us here already, we're gonna go join them.
CROWDS SINGING: And you know when your near,
that each one deserves freedom.
Everyone deserves freedom.
That's the reason we're here.
Everyone has a story.
Depending on what your actions would be,
then clearly we will go into the next phase,
which would potentially be arresting people
for breaching that legislation.
So time to go now, OK. Thanks.
So yeah, police are saying that we should go...
Quite a few people have,
I think... it's a little bit disappointing.
Walk with you.
As soon as you get in, just message me
and then would be another one,
cause I'm happy to go if they, if it's a go I'm going.
Never doubt that a small group of people...
Onto the pavement please guys!
Can change the world indeed!
I want to do what I feel is morally right
and what I feel the science is telling me is right.
I want to make a difference.
History will regard you as a hero, thank you!
Thank you for doing this.
Through all of my frustration,
I have limitless hope that this will change.
I can't not believe that this will work.
I have faith in people and I believe
that with the right information,
they'll make the right decisions.
