The waters of Trafalgar Square’s fountains have been dyed red by activists who are claiming the coronavirus crisis could have been prevented by going vegan.

Animal Rebellion dyed the waters blood red as they called for an end to ‘climate-destructive and exploitative industries’ which they claim caused the pandemic.

Demonstrators held placards reading ‘the government has blood on their hands’ as they waded knee-high into the red waters today.

Photographs show a female activist standing knee high in the red water wearing a face mask and holding a pink placard. 

She was then approached by Metropolitan Police officers who talked her out of the fountains before escorting her away.

Animal Rebellion tweeted: ‘Animal Rebellion have now dyed the Trafalgar Square fountains red, symbolising the blood that is on the hands of the UK Government. 

‘We are here today to demand that the government prevent future pandemics by ending animal farming and transitioning to a plant-based food system.  

‘This crisis could have been prevented. The science tells us that 3 out of every 4 new infectious diseases originate from animals.

‘The UK Government must protect the people, not support climate-destructive and exploitative industries’.
