101 East follows Australia's animal rights activists as they go head-to-head with the country's farmers.
It is 5.30am in Melbourne, Australia. Animal rights activists wait anxiously in the dark, before their leader Kristin Leigh gives the signal that it is time to go.
She directs them to the heart of the city, where they halt traffic for hours.
It is one of a string of protests in the activists' fight to stop farmers from raising animals for human consumption.
Their tactics, such as trespassing on farms and stealing livestock, are controversial.
"I don't think anyone has the right to break onto anyone's property," says Brian Ahmed, who has had activists trespass on his caged-egg farm outside Melbourne.
