Making a meal of cows' heads
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Animal rights activists have been protesting outside a well-known London restaurant - not because of veal on the menu, but because of the cows' heads on the wall.
Police took two hours on Thursday night to disperse around 30 demonstrators who protested inside and outside Quo Vadis, the newly opened Soho restaurant owned by restaurateur Marco Pierre White and the artist Damien Hirst. The restaurant was targeted because of the two skinned cows' heads suspended in tanks of formaldehyde which adorn the bar; both the signature work of Hirst. The restaurant also contains a glass-fronted cabinet containing two skeletons hung from butchers' hooks.
