A protester calling themselves the "Vegan Wizard" has angered farmers by apparently leaving stickers at a farm during the coronavirus lockdown.

Stickers promoting an anti-meat message have been found at a farm in Llanfairfechan, leaving farmers concerned that the campaigner is breaching lockdown rules.

One of the stickers features images of animal carcasses and carries the message: "Us farmers absolutely love our animals."

Another features the children's cartoon character Pepper Pig and the words: "Remember next time you eat meat sausages you might be eating my bumhole!"

Farmer Gareth Wyn Jones, whose neighbour found the stickers on his land, said: "It is fine to protest your views and to have an opinion, but at this current time it’s simply dangerous to do this.

"This is helping to spread the coronavirus, and it adds extra insult to it that someone would purposely head out to leave these stickers behind.

“They are apparently all over the village too. I've been told people have seen them on the sides of bins and things.”

Mr Jones said there are a number of footpaths running through his neighbour's land, and he wears personal protective equipment including gloves when he's on the land.

"My neighbour has an elderly mother, and we’re worried people and this 'vegan wizard' aren’t respecting the lockdown regulations," he said.

"This is a dangerous time, and for people to be out putting stickers out is disrespectful and will spread the virus."
