Agricultores lecheros en Escocia están yendo en masa a varios supermercados a comprar toda la leche que puedan encontrar como protesta por la caída en los precios de la leche.

Según reporta BuzzFeed News, el costo por producción de la leche es de 24 a 28 centavos británicos por el litro, mientras algunos agricultores solo están recibiendo siete centavos por litro.

Tonight we decided to pay a visit to Asda in Ayr and Kilmarnock to further our argument for better milk prices, Asda like Morrisons pay some of the lowest prices out of all the supermarkets which is totally unreasonable! Again we cleared the shelves and bought the milk, however we also left some of the milk in store, in the water aisle to show that milk is being sold for cheaper than water, absurd! The milk taken from the store was given away to the public for free but they could leave a voluntary donation to charity! On top of this myself and my friend Iona sat in a bath of milk to try and publicise our cause, it was very cold and I’m sure the boys enjoyed pouring milk over our heads! Once again press were in attendance and a huge crowd gathered to watch and support us, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the public for their support! My previous video has reached 2.5M views with this figure still rising and while this is brilliant our message should not be forgotten, we want and deserve fair prices for our milk, farmers work ungodly hours to provide the people with milk so it is only fair that they finally see some fair treatment. We want to ensure the future of dairy farming in Britain for our children and future children, so please like and share to help us do this!! Thanks for all the support! We will not stop here!

En uno de los supermercados donde realizaron la protesta, vaciar las góndolas de leche costó unas 600 libras esterlinas, las que fueron pagadas por un anónimo.

La leche fue donada a personas fuera del supermercado, centros geriátricos y a bancos de comida.
