Animal and climate activists from the Animal Rebellion activists group threw red colour on the Victoria Memorial fountain outside Buckingham Palace on Thursday, Aug 26, 2021. This action signifies as their statement said "Monarchy's demonstrable role in hunting and animal agriculture". The action on Thursday comes after a recent report showing that the Queen lobbied for exemption from initiatives to cut carbon emissions on her own private land. Climate change demonstrators from environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion kick-started their 4th day with a theatrical performance featuring the fossil fuel industry's influence in media and politics.
