Vegan activists today poured out milk over two high-end London department stores in a protest against dairy products -
before claiming one was the victim of assault when a hero shopper tried to help security
kick them out.

Animal Rebellion - an offshoot of the Extinction Rebellion group - named the
duo as Sofia Fernandes Pontes from Madeira and Steve Bone from Essex, and released videos
of their protests at Fortnum & Mason and Selfridges.


The animal rights group also claimed one of the
activists was 'assaulted by a member of the public' during the Selfridges protest, which appeared to be when a man put his arm in front of Ms Fernandes Pontes's neck.



The onlooker could be seen during the video trying to
block Ms Fernandes Pontes as she walked away, catching her neck with his outstretched arm.


The activists were then escorted to the exit by security
staff.

The protest at Selfridges infuriated onlookers, with one person off-camera asking an employee: 'Do you
guys not intervene?' The member of staff replied:
'We're not allowed to.' Another onlooker said: 'F***ing ashamed of yourselves.'
As the activists finally started to leave the store, the
man said: 'Yeah, t*ss off, now.

B***er off.'

But the Metropolitan Police later confirmed it
had made no arrests involving either incident after
officers were called to both stores following reports of criminal damage.
Detectives did however say inquiries were continuing.


It is the latest incident where a fed-up member of the public has
intervened in an eco protest, after a series of road-based demonstrations by Just Stop Oil and Insulate
Britain over the past year caused fury among motorists. 

Following today's protest, the National Farmers' Union led criticism of the activists' actions, with its dairy board chair Michael Oakes telling MailOnline this afternoon: 'British dairy products, such as milk, cheese and yoghurt, are staples of people's diets up and down the country, providing essential nutrition at an affordable price. 

'During a cost of living crisis, when many families are facing difficult choices between heating and
eating, farmers have been shocked to see supply chains blocked, disruption and food purposely wasted in this way.

'For those thinking about sustainable food, British dairy
farming is already world leading, with our cows grazing
outside turning inedible grass into high-quality dairy products, and
an ambition to reach net zero by 2040.'

He continued: 'Our high animal welfare and production standards are recognised around the world and are hugely
valued by the public, who recognise choosing British means eating climate friendly food.'

The protests today began when a bearded man and a woman wearing
a white dress - later identified by Animal Rebellion as
Mr Bone and Ms Fernandes Pontes - first entered Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly at
11.45am.

They took milk bottles from the shelves and then emptied them over the store's red
carpet before walking out.

Soon after at 12.30pm they were filmed brazenly pouring milk over a cheese stand at Selfridges on Oxford Street before being frogmarched out by security guards following the intervention by a member of the
public.

Ms Fernandes Pontes, a student and mother from the Portuguese island of Madeira,
said: 'I don't want to see my children grow up in a
world surrounded by drought, destruction of nature,
and food shortages.

'I want them to see a world full of wildlife and beauty.


Transitioning to a plant-based future is
simply essential if we want to see a better world for
everyone. Supporting farmers to move into profitable and sustainable plant-based production is
a no-brainer for (Prime Minister) Liz Truss and (Environment Secretary) Ranil Jayawardena.'

Ms Fernandes Pontes is an Islington-based BA psychology student
at London Metropolitan University where she has been studying since last year, and
is also president of the Climate Justice Society at the students' union.

She is also an instructor of Zumbini, which is a music and movement programme for young children, and founded Parezy,
an app described as a 'virtual one-stop service provider
for families with children in the early years sector'.






The protesters also then carried out a demonstration at Selfridges on Oxford Street today

Mr Bone, a father and photographer from Thorpe-Le-Soken in Essex, said: 'I took
action throughout September to push for a plant-based future, and I
am taking action again today because Liz Truss and Ranil Jayawardena are still refusing to listen.

'My little girl's future is on the line and the Government's response
is to ignore advice from Oxford and Harvard and,
instead, opt to drive us all further into the climate,
ecological, and cost-of-living crises.'

The group cited a report from the University of Oxford in 2018
which it said showed that '76 per cent of the land currently used for food
production would be freed-up by a global transition to plant-based production'.


It also referred to a 2019 Harvard University study on UK
farmland and food production which it said concluded 'that the
UK would be carbon-negative if it completely transitioned to a plant-based food system'.



Later today, while Fortnum & Mason showed no signs of any
disruption taking place, the cheese display onto which the
activists had poured milk had been removed.

As of 2.30pm this afternoon, Fortnum & Mason was busy, with no
sign of any milk having been poured on the floor of the high-end department
store.

Shoppers bustled about the shop, seemingly unaware of what had
taken place just a few hours before.

As of 3pm, the cheese display in front of the cheese counter at
Selfridges had been removed. This is where the activists poured
milk out.
Otherwise, there was little evidence of any disruption, as
the store was busy and shoppers went about their business.


A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'Officers were today, Friday October 7, called at approximately 12.35pm and attended reports of criminal damage at a business premises on Oxford Street, W1A.


No one was arrested. Inquiries continue.

'Separately officers attended a business premises in Piccadilly, W1A just before 12pm on Friday October 7 to reports
of criminal damage. No one was arrested. Enquiries continue.'

Animal Rebellion has carried out a series of protests in recent
months aimed at disrupting the dairy industry and pressuring the Government
on its demands.

Its first demand is that the Government 'supports farmers and fishing communities to move away from animal farming
and fishing as part of an urgent and immediate transition to a plant-based food system'.


Its second demand is that the Government 'commits to rewild the freed-up land
and ocean as part of a broader programme of wildlife restoration and
carbon drawdown'.

Last month the group tried to disrupt the delivery of dairy, with one protest seeing them glue
themselves to the entrance of a busy dairy facility in Droitwich, Worcestershire, to cut supply off at the source.


Members of the group were also arrested last month for spraying
'fake milk' white paint at Big Ben ahead of Liz Truss 's first Prime Minister's
Questions.

Today's protest comes after it emerged an eco zealot who defaced Captain Sir Tom Moore 's memorial was arrested three times in less
than a week and named in a High Court injunction after scaling an oil storage tank earlier this year. 

Madeleine Budd, 21, was arrested for a pitch
invasion of the Arsenal vs Liverpool match where she tried to glue her hands to the goalposts on March 16.


It is understood she was handed a six-month conditional discharge by a judge,
meaning no further action would be taken unless they commit a further offence within that time period.


But it emerged this week that Budd, a former medical student from Manchester, was arrested by police
three times in April for her part in fuel protests
staged by Just Stop Oil in Thurrock, Essex. 

No charges were brought against Budd for the April arrests,
which meant the 'End UK Private Jets' supporter was free to pour human excrement over Captain Sir Tom Moore's memorial in Hatton,
Derbyshire last Friday.
