The angry man can be seen confronting the vegan campaigners, who held up screens showing animal slaughter and used the megaphones to get their point across to shoppers.

One man took direct action against the protesters, grabbing a loudhailer from an activist named Ella Wild and breaking it on the ground before walking away.

Ms Wild posted a video of the incident on her Instagram, calling the shopper who retaliated “an angry customer”.

Most of the commenters sided with the shopper, with one saying: “Good man glad someone done it”.

    Using a megaphone indoors in a store should considered assault. My child and spouse both have sensitive hearing, if someone was within a couple meters of them and shouted into a megaphone it would instantly reduce my child to tears and cause pain and distress, and my spouse would probably drop anything they were holding from the shock and pain of it.

      You sound like animals that are getting slaughtered. Except they are in even more pain and end up murdered.

      Maybe if people stop the murderous selfishness towards animals, people don’t have to pick up a megaphone to educate you.

          Harming is a big word of course when you can just walk away from the megaphone. But I don’t really know how playing the victim works so I don’t know.
