This is the moment security forcefully removed a number of protesters from Crufts.

Footage shows the group being taken from the arena during the Best in Show announcement yesterday (10/3).

Animals rights group PETA claimed responsibility for the protest in Birmingham's NEC Arena.

It said on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Crufts glorifies the breeding of deformed animals. "

"The grotesque standards set by The Kennel Club promote features that lead to long-term health issues like epilepsy, heart disease, brachycephalic syndrome, and hip dysplasia among others". "

Security can be seen prying a woman off the rails before dragging her away by her arms.

A male protestor is also manhandled and removed by three guards who haul him up the stairs by his arms and legs.
