Another McDonald’s branch has been filled with mice in Palestine protest
A second Birmingham branch of McDonald’s has been targeted in a pro-Palestine mouse attack.
Staff at the city’s Perry Bar McDonald’s branch struggled to contain dozens of mice let free in the fast food restaurant on Tuesday.
This is the second protest of its type this week, with protesters attacking the fast food chain over claims it is ‘pro-Israeli’.
Footage of the mouse attack shows horrified customers watching on as a small child can be heard saying: ‘That’s a lot of rats.’

The man who recorded the video says he was a bystander and said: ‘Oh my days. Look at this! They’ve just dropped this off at McDonald’s. All these rats.
‘Somebody just took that in. Oh my days.’
In the previous mouse attack in the Star City McDonald’s branch, also in Birmingham, the activist released mice spray-painted red, green and black before walking out shouting ‘f*** Israel’, ‘free f****** Palestine’ and ‘boycott Israel’.
A spokesman for the chain said all of the mice have been removed and the restaurant had been fully sanitised.
