<p>Campaign group Animal Rebellion performed the stunt in central London on Saturday to protest against animal farming, claiming that the British government has <em>“blood on their hands”</em>.</p>
<p>Demonstrators, some of whom who stood up to their knees in the red water, allege that the Covid-19 pandemic was caused by animal exploitation.</p>

<p>Shortly before 3.30pm, a tweet by the Met said: <em>“Two people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage following an incident at the fountains in Trafalgar Square earlier today.</em></p>
<p><em>“They remain in custody.”</em></p>
<p>While some activists poured blood-red dye into the fountain’s waters, others held placards and staged a socially distanced protest in Trafalgar Square.</p>
<p>Stephanie Zupan, a representative of Animal Rebellion said: <em>“The Government must now begin a transition towards a plant-based food system, or risk future zoonotic pandemics of catastrophic proportions.”</em></p>
<p>Animal Rebellion said the action was coordinated with protests in 20 cities, including Bristol, Brighton and New York.</p>
<p>Kieran Blyth, another representative for the group, said: <em>“These unsatisfactory and dangerous measures will only increase the risk of future pandemics.</em></p>
<p><em>“The Government are playing with the potential of tens of thousands more deaths.”</em></p>
