<p>Oscar nominee James Cromwell superglued himself to a New York City Starbucks counter in protest of the fact that the company charges extra to use plant-based milk in drinks.</p>
<p>In a protest that was live-streamed to Facebook by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/peta-furious-bidens-didnt-adopt-new-dog-when-they-got-rid-of-biter-major/">PETA</a>) activists, the &#8220;L.A. Confidential&#8221; actor superglued himself to the counter before delivering a statement about the company&#8217;s surcharge for vegan milk options and its impact on both the environment and on communities of color.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fofficial.peta%2Fvideos%2F314196994124454%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="591" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Cromwell, who can be seen wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words &#8220;free the animals,&#8221; <a href="https://www.abc27.com/news/entertainment/oscar-nominated-actor-james-cromwell-glues-himself-to-starbucks-counter-video-shows/?utm_campaign=socialflow&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=t.co">argued</a> that vegan milk options were better for the environment. He also claimed that charging more for them was discriminatory — particularly because minorities suffer from lactose intolerance at a higher rate than white Americans do — but also because he felt that those who chose vegan options as a matter of conscience were being penalized for making a moral choice.</p>
<p>&#8220;When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals and the environment suffer?&#8221; Cromwell asked, arguing that in order to provide the dairy products used at Starbucks, animals were subjected to &#8220;violence.&#8221; &#8220;When will you stop penalizing people for their ethnicities, their morals?</p>
<p>The protest concluded with a chant: &#8220;Save the planet, save the cows. Stop the vegan upcharge now!&#8221;</p>
<p>Cromwell and one other PETA activist — who had also glued himself to the counter — unattached themselves without incident about 30 minutes later. The report did not indicate whether any charges were filed, although a similar protest at the company&#8217;s Seattle headquarters had led to the arrest of two protesters.</p>
<p>Legendary musician Paul McCartney has <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/04/paul-mccartney-letter-starbucks-stop-charging-plant-based-milk-peta">also called on Starbucks</a> to end the surcharge for plant-based milks, although he opted to write a letter rather than glue himself to a cafe counter.</p>
<p>&#8220;It recently came to my attention that Starbucks in the USA has an extra charge for plant-based milks as opposed to cow’s milk,&#8221; McCartney wrote earlier this year. &#8220;I must say this surprised me as I understand that in other countries like U.K. and India, there is the same charge for both types of milk and I would like to politely request that you consider this policy also in Starbucks USA. My friends at PETA are campaigning for this to happen … I sincerely hope that for the future of the planet and animal welfare you are able to implement this policy.&#8221;</p>
