Visitors at Louvre look on in shock as Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece attacked by environmental protesters
Two environmental protesters have hurled soup on to the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris, calling for “healthy and sustainable food”. The painting, which was behind bulletproof glass, appeared to be undamaged.
Gallery visitors looked on in shock as two women threw the yellow-coloured soup before climbing under the barrier in front of the work and flanking the splattered painting, their right hands held up in a salute-like gesture.
One of the two activists removed her jacket to reveal a white T-shirt bearing the slogan of the environmental activist group Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response) in black letters.

Very well. Show me the legislation it will change and tell me when it will happen. It did work right?

Ah thanks for admitting the goal was attention, not actual change. Say no more, I get it now. They needed some validation and they got it.
Hey I am a parent I get it. Except you know my kids are pretty young not grown ass adults.

You don’t have to double down on your admission. We all get it. Your buddies wanted to get into the news and they got it. Nothing will change other than security theater. Whatever cause they stood for will be forgotten.

Yes I admit they got on the news mind-reader. Nothing will change, no one even knows why they did it, but your buddies effectively managed to accomplish the goal of throwing a tantrum.
