Zack Sharf James Cromwell super-glued himself to the counter of a Starbucks in New York City to protest the coffee company’s increased pricing on vegan milk, CBS News reports.

The protest was backed by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), which live-streamed the “glue-in” on Facebook.

Cromwell was joined by other protestors and eventually freed his hand from the glue after police showed up at the Starbucks.“My friends at PETA and I are calling on Starbucks to stop punishing kind and environmentally conscious customers for choosing plant milks,” Cromwell said in a statement about Starbucks charging more for vegan milk. “We all have a stake in the life-and-death matter of the climate catastrophe, and Starbucks should do its part by ending its vegan up-charge.” PETA said in its own statement that the diary industry is “a major producer of the greenhouse gases that contribute to the climate catastrophe” and is “responsible for immense animal suffering.”More than 135,000 supporters have joined PETA’s online petition urging Starbucks to stop charing more for vegan milk.

The organization writes on its website, “It’s awesome that Starbucks offers so many delicious vegan milk options—such as coconut, soy, oat, and almond milk—but customers shouldn’t have to pay extra to have dairy-free milk in their drinks.
