PETA members protested Starbucks Monday morning by passing out free vegan lattes to pressure the coffee chain to stop charging extra for vegan alternatives to milk.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, better known as PETA, has staged these protests in other cities as well in what it calls a “surcharge war.” The organization says about 142,000 people have also asked Starbucks to change its policy.
A Venti latte that costs $4.95 costs $5.65 if you opt for oat milk, for example. Prices vary by location. “Starbucks claims to be an environmentally-friendly company, Stewart said. “They should put their money where their mouth is.” A splash of any nondairy milk can be added to a coffee free of charge. But larger substitutions do cost more.
