Remember that ugly painting of King Charles that was unveiled like, four minutes ago? The one where it looks more like a scene out of “Dexter” than a royal portrait?
Yeah, it’s already been vandalized.
In the just latest in a string of incidents in which leftwing activists for the Cause du Jour deface some famous work of art to get attention for their latest temper tantrum, some nutbag animal rights protester pasted a giant image of Wallace from the cartoon strip “Wallace and Gromit” on the painting, which depicts the King of England in a sea of red with a butterfly flittering way over his shoulder.
So, not exactly the most stellar painting ever...but still.
Next to the comical face plastered over Charles’ mug was a cartoon bubble with the message “No cheese, Gromit. Look at all this cruelty on RSPCA farms!” The display referred to an investigation from a group called "Animal Rising" which claims multiple violations of animal husbandry rules are being committed at farms sanctioned by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Animal Rising posted a video of the activists pasting the image over the portrait, which hangs in an art gallery in London.

Thankfully for those who care about the silly painting itself, the portrait was covered by plastic and was not damaged.

Animal rights activists and climate nuts have gone on a spate of artwork vandalism in recent years, filming themselves defacing, smashing, and gluing themselves to displays of priceless paintings, statues, and artifacts in order to bring attention to their agenda - though it’s unlikely their hissy fits have changed many minds. In 2023, two women targeted Claude Monet’s “The Artist’s Garden at Giverny,” on display at Sweden’s National Museum, smearing red paint on the piece and gluing themselves to the frame to protest peat mining. Back in May, two women with the "Just Stop Oil" movement - both in their 80s, so there's a twist - can be seen on video using a hammer and chisel to try to break through the thick glass casing around the Magna Carta, on display at the British Library in London. Activists have thrown soup on a Van Gogh painting, tossed mashed potatoes on a Monet, and once even tried to deface a dinosaur skeleton.
