Radical animal rights activists have pulled off a royal prank at London’s Philip Mold Gallery, where they vandalized the creepy new portrait of King Charles.
Animal Rising extremists have pasted a cartoon poster of the British stop-motion animated comedy Wallace and Gromit onto the monarch’s face.
Also left hanging was a speech bubble attacking the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a charity in England and Wales that supposedly promotes animal welfare.
The disturbing painting is the first official portrait of Charles, who became and was king ‘partly inspired by his history of environmental work’.
Daily email reported:
“One poster taped over the portrait was of Wallace’s face and the other was a speech bubble that read, ‘No cheese, Gromit. Look at all this cruelty on RSPCA farms!’
Animal Rising is calling on King Charles to suspend his support for the charity, of which he is the royal patron, until they drop the Assured Scheme – which is in place to protect animal welfare standards.”
Charles is reportedly a fan of the animated franchise, so the eco-alarmists would like that ‘draws attention to the horrific scenes on RSPCA Assured farms’.
“The action is an attempt by the group to raise awareness of their recent investigation into 45 RSPCA Assured farms, where they reportedly found 280 statutory breaches and 94 breaches of DEFRA regulations.
The activists claim to have found animal abuse and suffering on every farm, including alleged scenes of dead and dying baby chickens, dead pigs left in the farms’ walkways and salmon being eaten alive by sea lice.”
Animal Rising was careful to add that ‘the posters were applied using water sprayed on the back so that they could be easily removed’.
King Charles became the royal patron of the RSPCA last month. The charity cited his ‘tremendous passion for nature and regenerative agriculture and his continued support for the RSPCA and the future of animal welfare’.
