Police have charged 40 people over yesterday's vegan protest in Melbourne's CBD which shut down a major part of the city.
In total, the group has been charged with a whopping 122 offences, with one of them carrying up to five years behind bars, according to the Daily Mail.
Victoria Police has released a statement saying: "Of those arrested, 38 people were charged with obstruct emergency worker (indictable), obstruct road, and pedestrian obstruct path of driver.
"One person was charged with obstruct emergency worker (indictable), obstruct road, pedestrian obstruct path of driver and possess drug of dependence.
"Another was arrested at the aquarium and charged with assault police (indictable) as well as obstruct emergency worker (indictable), obstruct road, and pedestrian obstruct path of driver.
"All adults were bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 5 June."
The protestors were mocked on social media for disrupting everyone's morning commute and even got a pretty strong rebuke from the Prime Minister.
Scott Morrison told 2GB that he thought the demonstrations were 'un-Australian' and also encouraged farmers to sue protestors who trespass on their properties.
Demonstrators in Queensland and New South Wales infiltrated at least two farms during yesterday's nationwide protests.
Nine were taken into custody after they stormed a property and chained themselves to a conveyor belt in Goulburn, New South Wales.
Twenty people were also released without arrest or charge after entering an abattoir in Queensland, where the owner relinquished three lambs in order to get them off the property.
Scott Morrison said: "If there are pastoralists and farmers that are in a position to actually bring a civil action against these groups...then the Commonwealth is totally open to supporting them in a test case."
