A video has gone viral after a group of vegan activists were filmed pouring milk onto the floors of Harrods. 

The protest was carried out by the activist group 'Animal Rebellion' who on their Twitter say their aim is 'to stop the supply of dairy'.

In the post, the organisation wrote: "Animal Rebellion disrupted Harrods by pouring bottles of milk onto the floor."

They said that the reason behind the staged protest in the luxury department store was "Because we're in an animal and climate emergency."

Watch as vegan activists stage a protest inside Harrods

In the clip posted by the group, you see a group of activists walking up to the open fridges in the department store's food hall before opening the bottles and pouring them out onto the tiled floor. 

One member said: "We're about to go into to Harrods to pour all of the milk on the floor to convey that milk is destructive to the planet and cruel to animals."

In front of the pour, a sign similar to the 'wet floor' yellow sign has been placed but instead says "Caution, Climate Crisis. Dairy or Death."

While the group pour the milk a Harrods worker walks up to them and asks "why are you doing this" whilst mentioning security. 

In the next clip, the group are no longer pouring milk with security now taking them outside, with one member being dragged out whilst another lays on the floor refusing to move. 

However, the protest has created some backlash with social media users writing "You think being destructive will get you anywhere."

Another posted: "This only causes more people to be angry with animal activists. This is completely disrespectful to the workers. This doesn’t affect the company at all. By purchasing the milk you’re supporting the dairy industry. I don’t see the point in this."

But many are supporting the group's protest with one user saying: "You guys are just awesome" and another writing "I love this."
