Protesters interrupt Sanders rally

Protesters interrupted a rally in Wisconsin for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Wednesday.

Protesters held up a large sign that said, "Animal Liberation Now" as the Vermont Independent was speaking, according to a reporter from ABC News.

The protesters were reportedly booed by the crowd. Security removed them the event and pulled the sign down as the crowd chanted in support of Sanders.

Sanders reportedly continued to talk as the protesters were removed, refusing to acknowledge the disruption.

They just feel that this particular issue is being ignored.

I saw an interview with them somewhere - I'll see if I can find it online.
