Over 3,000 pissed off farmers gathered together at the EU’s headquarters in Brussels September 5th to protest the fallen milk prices. The protest wasn’t anything to be taken lightly as the farmers had driven huge tractors on to the major highway entrances into Brussels causing an outrageous traffic jam close to 25 miles beyond the city limits.
The Farmers are demanding that EU officials put a limit of production through quotas to drive the prices back up. Their main argument is that production costs are now up twice as high as the market price, which is causing them to lose money.
As the farmers squirted hundreds of shaken up beers at police they also threw rocks and bottles but there was one farmer that got creative and took it a step further. He began squirting the milk directly from his cow at the riot police forcing them to used their shields to protect themselves from the fresh milk. -Mail Online World News
