After 27 people were arrested for taking part in an animal rights protest that blocked a major Melbourne intersection on Monday, others were left wondering what the vegan action was all about. The animal rights movement – as we have come to know it – started gaining momentum in the 1970s. After 27 people were arrested for taking part in an animal rights protest that blocked a major Melbourne intersection on Monday, others were left wondering what the vegan action was all about.And while their chants failed to go into specific details, the protest’s organiser Chris Delforce elaborated further on why they were out on the streets in force on Monday.Mr Delforce, who is the director of the documentary Dominion, which looked to reveal the graphic underbelly of animal agriculture, said the protest commemorated the first anniversary of the short film.“The industry is telling people these animals are being killed ethically, that they are being killed humanely – the reality is … it’s the furthest thing from humane,” Mr Delforce told AAP.He laughed off Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s suggestion the protests occurring across the country were “un-Australian”.“I think most Australians are opposed to animal cruelty,” the animal rights activist said.The group, which Mr Delforce is the founder and heavily involved in, outlined six key requests they want state and federal agriculture ministers to consider.Several requests surrounded around Dominion, with calls to have the documentary added to schools’ curriculums.During Monday’s event outside Flinders Street station, protesters held signs that said: “This is a peaceful protest” and “SOS animal emergency climate emergency”.One man started jumping up and down before being detained by five police officers as the action caused traffic chaos during the morning peak.Some protesters chained themselves to vans, draped in black and emblazoned with the web address of a vegan documentary, that were parked in the middle of the intersection.While those vans have now been towed, protests were also staged on Monday at Victorian abattoirs in Corio, Pakenham and Bacchus Marsh.Victoria Police confirmed 27 people were arrested on Monday including two 17-year-olds and a 15-year-old following this morning’s protest.Protesters were arrested in relation to obstructing a roadway, resisting or obstructing police, and are assisting police with their enquiries.
