Animal rights protestors have vandalized the portrait of King Charles III just weeks after it was unveiled. Several members of the nonprofit organization Animal Rising approach the portrait with paint rollers in hand in a new video posted to the group’s X account on June 11. During the short clip, one member promptly covers King Charles' head with the face of a popular animated character: Wallace from the British comedy franchise 'Wallace and Gromit.
.com has reached out the RSPCA for comment. Two Animal Rising supporters visited the Philip Mould Gallery in London for this demonstration, which called attention to Animal Rising’s “damning investigation” of 45 RSPCA “assured” farms. The Animal Rising report alleges 280 legal breaches and 94 breaches of Defra regulations on 45 UK farms that house pigs, chickens, trout and salmon.
.com has reached out to the Philip Mould Gallery for an update on the painting.
