Vegan protestors seal themselves in CEMENT outside Starbucks in protest against 50 cent charge for non-dairy milk that 'discriminates against people who are concerned for cows'

A trend that kicked off last summer with protestors supergluing themselves to Starbucks venues has taken its next step.

But that next step has landed protestors inside blocks of concrete, with placard-waving protestors closing off the entrance to a Nashville Starbucks by embedding themselves.

In a campaign meant to show how vegan protestors are refusing to budge, the protestors waved signs asking Starbucks to 'end the vegan upcharge' on plant-based milks.

Starbucks said: 'We respect our customers’ rights to respectfully voice their opinions so long as it does not disrupt our store operations.'

The company said customers can add a 'splash' of plant-based milks to their drinks for free, but that it charges an additional fee for more than a splash.

The upcharge amounts range from 50-90 cents, depending on the location and type of plant-milk wanted. There is no extra charge for dairy milk.

PETA said it wouldn't back down from its position, and told Starbucks to stop castigating people who are 'concerned for cows', according to the New York Post.

Pardon me while I go to the kitchen and get a glass of milk.

I would let them stay there for as long as they want, in a few hours they would be begging for someone to help them get that cement off their feet.

A few week ago, I (upon being asked by The Wife) tried some oat milk.

It was surprisingly good - but I like milk and the pricepoint is a bit steep. So for now, I’ll stick with regular cow milk.

In the movie, “Robin and the Seven Hoods”, the last scene depicts the Mayor as being embedded in the cornerstone of a building”

Who is paying them to do this? Do we know? How do they get loose from the concrete blocks? Are they really buried in wet cement?? Why???

Leave then there until the concrete sets. Leave them, take their clothes. Tell them, “your move”

And here you have the modern equivalent of 1860s abolitionists.

Liberal activists have always been fringe groups.

Someone should release a skunk or some stinging insects near them.

“Where do we donate cement to insure this trend continues?”

Here I guess, maybe they just have to pick it up from local store?

If it wasn’t for producing dairy products, there wouldn’t be a need to keep cows around and feed them. I don’t see many feral cows in the wild. Green Bastards are going to cause a bovine extinction.

I wish they did this here in Phoenix, it’s pretty cool tidy, only about 100 at the moment. I do t go to Starbucks, but to watch this, I would even buy a Grande Mocha Latte, put a splash of Gentlemen Jack in it and watch the show.

You want a special product? You have to be willing to pay more for that special product...

Just how it is... You want higher revs without valve float you have to pay more for stiffer springs and roller rockers...

What a bunch of idiots... Worst thing? They want to force that crap on us all...

I frequently put coconut milk in my coffee.
I think it's really good with a desert of cheesecake
(made with real dairy cream cheese) after a good steak dinner.
I love cows, you know!
I truly do.
