French butchers have asked for police protection to deal with an increase in violence by vegan groups. According to their union, about 50 butchers and fishmongers have been targeted since the start of the year – with their windows broken, or their shop fronts covered in graffiti or fake blood. Who are France's vegan activists and what drives them? FRANCE 24's Karina Chabour and Yena Lee report.
A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett, Rebecca Martin and Emerald Maxwell.
