Climate activists glues hands to Botticelli's 'Primavera'

Italian climate activists glued their hands to the protective glass over Botticelli's 'Primavera' painting on display before they were dragged away.

You know they can plant trees right?
Or clean a highway, or build animal sanctuaries

Grats on mildly annoying museum security for five minutes guys, that'll definitely stop climate change.

It’s kind of hard to get people to listen to you when they don’t like you. Especially pulling a stunt like this.

[denniskai]

I believe in the cause - but think that this type of activity just annoys people and is counterproductive

[meshuggah]

Really! How is this going to help anything??

[lisapetersen]

The way that guy just pulled them off, dragged them & the banner away.

[nonyabidnazz]

rip their hands off and throw them in prison.. there are MUCH better ways to gain attention than destroying priceless art..

[winordiemcfly]

Really think the people gathered to look at art are going to leave thinking “oh we gotta do something bout climate change”…nope, they gonna leave saying “what a bunch of dummies”…There’s so many better ways for protesting people, c’mon.

[edward]

They need to smack some sense into these people.

[brmahadev]

What does the art painting art to do with climate change

[tp-mhji]

They need to be prosecuted and make it hurt.

[HaloFlemz]

Seriously? Greenpeace is getting savage with art. What did art do to you?

[chrs.]

They protested by vandalizing a painting, I must be missing something

[paulsabo]

I think when people glue themselves somewhere, they need to just close that section off and let them sit there. Check on them every few days. Lol.

[tinycnyc]

How is this supposed to help?
Art is gonna hate them.

[charliecostella]

Now they will have to pay for restoration of the painting. Doesn't seem too financially responsible

[Daggoth]

Nope that's not gona gain people to join the cause

[MilahanPhilosophersCorner]

That's should come with heavy heavy fines.

[RR-zqmk]

Rumor has it they used a gasoline vehicle to travel to the location to do their petty stunt

[greatdw]

Maybe set the sign up before you glue the hands next time idk just a suggestion…
