- Vegan activists have taken war against meat-eaters to Australian supermarkets
- Stickers similar to anti-smoking advertising were placed on meat products
- The activists making the stickers denied putting them on the food products
Vegan activists have taken their war against the meat industry into supermarkets - plastering animal products in alarming stickers linking their consumption with diabetes and heart disease.
The stickers appeared in Australian supermarkets recently with many in the style of the shocking images on cigarette packages.
Others are in a cartoon style with slogans like 'how can you be an animal lover and eat dead animals'.

According to the Daily Telegraph the stickers were placed on meat packages in Coles and Woolworths - with both supermarket chains calling police on those responsible for marking the goods.
Animal activist Kaj McBeth from vegan group Anonymous for the Voiceless is responsible for making some of the stickers but denies taking to the shops and plastering them on animal products.
'The way I look at it, I am not doing anything illegal. Whether people want to stick them in places is up to them, I am happy to facilitate that choice if you choose to make it,' Mr McBeth said.
'But in comparison I went to Bunnings the other day and my parents bought my younger brother a sausage sizzle, I see that as a far greater risk than putting a sticker on things.'
The NSW Farmers Association has labelled the stickers as misinformation.
