PETA’s Sean Gifford and an unidentified person in a cow suit showed up at Aberdeen Grammar School to make their case against milk to students. Instead two police ended up having to rescue the protesters from the students.
As many as 100 students surrounded the duo and began throwing cartons of milk at the PETA protesters. Gifford told The Daily Record,
I have been all over the UK with this protest and I have never seen anything like this before. It must be something to do with children in Aberdeen. I think they just got a bit over-excited but I’m sure they will still go home and think about our message.
But 16-year-old Alan Smith responded that,
This is a stupid idea. We should be encouraged to drink milk. I certainly won’t stop drinking milk just because a man has dressed up as a cow outside my school.
