The group posted a video of the protestors being dragged out of the restaurant. Along with the video, they wrote, "Supporters of Animal Rebellion are getting dragged out by security at Nusr-Et restaurant in London. The restaurant is famed for its steaks, which are products of environmental destruction and worker and animal exploitation. This is not a sustainable food system."

The group also posted images of the protest on their Instagram account saying, "Supporters of Animal Rebellion have staged a sit-in at @nusr_et 's luxury restaurant in London. Why? because luxury dining represents exploitation, environmental devastation, and inequality. We are in a cost-of-living crisis and a climate and ecological crisis. Yet in the UK, a rich minority is dining on “literally gold coated steaks.”
