Hundreds of vegans from all over Victoria gathered at 5.30am outside Flinders Street Station holding signs and blocking cars and trams from passing through.It’s part of a wave of action that includes activists blocking the entrance to the MC Herd abattoir in Geelong and chaining themselves to a truck in Pakenham, southeast of Melbourne.

Doctor of Paediatric Neuropsychology Helen Jeges held a sign above her head at this morning’s protest on Flinders Street. It read: “I am a doctor. Vegan: 5 years”.“A lot of people don’t know that if you buy eggs, male chicks are ground up alive. It’s to raise awareness.” Farmers across NSW and Queensland have also been placed on high alert as a number of groups plan to carry out a series of co-ordinated raids — which they say is “the biggest animal rights direct action the world has ever seen”.Up to 200 others remained outside the facility, protesting against what they said was the barbaric slaughter of sheep and pigs.
