A portrait of King Charles III was defaced in the latest act of activist vandalism
Associated PressLONDON — Animal rights activists pasted a cartoon image over a portrait of King Charles III on Tuesday at a London art gallery, the latest in a series of incidents at U.K. museums as campaigners use vandalism to publicize their causes. A group called Animal Rising shared a video of campaigners pasting a picture of a character called Wallace, from the “Wallace and Gromit” comedy series, over the king’s head. This photo released by Animal Rising shows activists pasting a picture of a character called Wallace, from the “Wallace and Gromit” comedy series, over a portrait of Britain’s King Charles III at the Philip Mould Gallery in London, Tuesday June 11, 2024. The so-called ‘’comic redecoration″ was designed to highlight an investigation that Animal Rising said found widespread violations of animal husbandry rules at farms approved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
