Vegan group hold peaceful protest in Southsea

Portsmouth and Southsea Vegan Outreach organised the event on Palmerston Road, in Southsea.

The group was supporting an international awareness campaign called the Cube of Truth.

For three hours, members stood in a square formation holding laptops and tablets showing videos of animals being mistreated on farms and other outlets where meat and diary products are made.

Sam Whitehead and Naomi Mulligan-Ward organised the event.

Naomi said: ‘This is the third time we have organised the Cube of Truth and we get good responses from the public.

‘It is about showing what happens in the meat and diary industry and raising awareness of the vegan lifestyle.’

Sam said their protest is a peaceful one although some of their members wear masks. She said: ‘We wear the masks because it is about our message, not us as individuals.’
