Colleagues at The Association of Independent Meat Suppliers (AIMS) have highlighted to us the increased and quite concerning activity of activist groups such as Animal Rebellion.
In the last 12 months AIMS members have experienced activism in several forms from protests outside or near their sites to covert filming and social media claims. There are even reports of fire-bombs being used.
In the coming weeks the BFFF will be looking into this activity with a view to supporting and signposting members to useful resources, so please check our newsletters and website regularly for updates.
In the meantime, AIMS have kindly agreed that we can share their guidance with BFFF members. This is the advice sent out by The Association of Independent Meat Suppliers (AIMS) to their members.
We should also make you aware that Animal Rebellion are launching a new campaign. For the month of September, they will be attempting to disrupt the UK dairy supply chain with the aim of stopping milk from reaching the supermarket shelves. They are likely to then move on to block other supply chains. You can read more about this here
