Its fanatical members have also conducted a campaign of sit-ins at high-end restaurants. Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan and his wife were caught up in a protest last month after Animal Rebellion targeted seafood restaurant Scott's in Mayfair, London.

The MoS first infiltrated the group in November last year.
It quickly became apparent to our reporter that a major plot was brewing and that the restaurant protests were simply the precursor to a more dramatic action. For weeks Animal Rebellion's leaders have been careful to keep the conspiracy under wraps, but earlier this month an activist who called himself 'Jim' phoned our reporter with a startling announcement. Describing a forthcoming protest as 'our biggest spectacular one to date', he asked: 'Have you heard of the Grand National? 'That will not be happening this year,' he added. 'We're hoping to gather 300 activists to occupy that course and stop it.' The MoS can today reveal that 'Jim' is in fact award-winning business journalist Jim Edwards, the former founding editor of the UK edition of financial news website Business Insider. In 2018 he was pictured alongside London Mayor Sadiq Khan at a reception organised by the website. He quit last year and now advises Animal Rebellion on its media strategy. Outlining the conspiracy, he said: '..The thing we're recruiting for is to get as many people as possible to Liverpool on April 15... We will be booking a bunch of houses so all the activists can stay together.'
