This definitely helped with climate change. 🙄

They should be sentenced to eat tomato soup for the rest of their life.

[mastervz]

What a waste of good soup. They could’ve thrown mud or something. They must not care about the hungry.

💢The reason WHY they did this, was to create awareness on a bigger level BY doing it on a famous painting. This is on every news platform, which was the goal, however, people seems to be more materialistic minded about’a painting’ rather than the actual climate right now.

People don’t seem to get the food interpretation it is a metaphor for food waste in the industrial world.

The painting itself is more valuable than human life both present and future. How funny🙄

[MrEkzotic]

Good think it was covered with glass, otherwise they'd be paying for it for the rest of their lives. Clueless people.

[blueturtle]

I don't understand what this has to do with their point or even what their point was. Good job protesting ig...?

[bbopamnnnoymous]

They should be ashamed. Do they really think this is how you change people's minds? Insane

[tremblence]

Thanks to this childish attack on I now stand against their message
If they wanted my support, they should have protested at an oil rig

[GameReality]

If they damaged that painting in any way they need to pay for it

[shelianichols]

Can’t really tell much of a difference before or after. I don’t see anything special about that painting. People just feel sorry about the dude because he was a outcast.

[Garfooled]

I like how we're given no context, what is giving the context going to make us understand their actions?

[lucky]

I get they want to end oil, so do I but a painting made hundreds of years ago has nothing to do with oil. They should go to a oil refinery instead

[AeroScout]

She’s so worried about the cost of food, but she’s literally wasting food. That bowl of soup could have provided a meal for somebody who was on the verge of dying from starvation.

[tommyd]

They could of done their little "protest" at an oil refinery but I guess "just stop oil" don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.

[skylad]

if it was Boston clam chowder soup I will be so mad

[BirdDogg]

Yeah, maybe they oughta consider putting it behind glass?

[napalmholocaust]

⬅this guy hopes they cleaned it with chamois made from the perps.

[chef-mumbles]

did you know that some of the ingredients of superglue are made from fossil fuels
