PETA Targets Starbucks Fee
In a striking demonstration set for Wednesday, PETA activists, including one dressed in a cow costume, will gather at Starbucks Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur, to protest against the extra charge for vegan milk options.
Highlighting the environmental, ethical, and health issues associated with dairy consumption, the group will display a giant inflatable Starbucks cup and signs condemning the surcharge.
PETA emphasizes that this policy discourages the 87 percent of Malaysians who are lactose intolerant from choosing plant-based alternatives, further criticizing Starbucks Malaysia for prioritizing profits over ethical concerns.
The event aims to urge the coffee giant to eliminate the additional fee for non-dairy milk.
