An animal rights activist turned the fountain in Trafalgar Square in London blood-red today (July 11th) during a protest against meat-eating and cruelty to animals.

A small group of activists was peacefully protesting when an unidentified female demonstrator leapt into the fountain and tipped red dye into the water, according to an eyewitness.

A protester who gave her name as Mina said:

"We are here to plead for society to eat a plant-based diet to save the planet and stop the worldwide cruelty to animals."

Animal rights activists were peacefully protesting with their hands daubed in red paint, when suddenly, a woman jumped into the fountain and poured red dye in the Trafalgar Square fountain.
I spoke to Mina, one of the protesters, who said, "we are here to plead for society to eat a plant based diet to save the planet and stop the worldwide cruelty to animals".
