Flipboard Art & Photo Desk on Nostr: King Charles' first official portrait has been attacked by animal rights activists in ...

King Charles' first official portrait has been attacked by animal rights activists in London. The group, Animal Rising, covered the king's face with an image of Wensleydale-loving Plasticine character Wallace of "Wallace and Gromit" with the caption “No cheese Gromit, look at all of this cruelty on RSPCA farms.” The action was designed to bring attention to a new report that highlighted poor welfare on farms endorsed by the U.K.'s Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The picture sustained no lasting damage, since it is behind a layer of Perspex. As more activist groups target art, do you think this is an effective form of protest?
