Actor James Cromwell superglued his hand to a counter at Starbucks for a protest.
CNN noted the Tuesday protest was coordinated with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
The outlet mentioned Cromwell’s role as a longtime supporter of the group and “Honorary Director.”
“Starbucks claims that it wants to be more sustainable, but it discourages customers from choosing sustainable products,” Cromwell said while sitting on the counter.
He asked, “Will you stop charging more for vegan milk?”
Cromwell added, “When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals, and the environment suffer?”
He continued, “Cows produce milk for the same reasons that humans do: to nourish their young. But in the dairy industry they give birth and their babies are taken from them almost immediately so that their milk can be sold.”
Police arrived at the scene and Cromwell later removed himself from the counter.
