Climate activists staged a sit-in protest at a Somerset McDonald s on Saturday (July 17). Activists from the Animal Rebellion and Extinction Rebellion groups staged the peaceful protest from noon at the McDonald’s branch in Yeovil. Branded a McSit-in, they brought their own lunches and occupied areas of the restaurant for two hours. The campaigners are demanding the fast-food chain goes plant-based by 2025 and the demonstration follows a similar sit-in held in the Weymouth McDonald’s two weeks ago. Catherine Cannon, who took part in the McSit-in, said: “McDonald’s needs to transition to a fully plant-based menu to address the climate, ecological and animal destruction it causes on a daily basis.
