Australian animal rights protests draw rebukes

They are a growing number of vegans and animal rights campaigners in Australia, highlighting what they believe are inhumane methods used in the country's meat and poultry industry.

But Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison calls them "green terrorists", with many in the industry also saying that the views expressed by the groups do not represent those of mainstream Australia.

On Monday, the center of Melbourne, capital of Victoria state, was brought to a standstill during the morning rush hour when vegan demonstrators held up traffic.
