Animal rights activists made headlines on Tuesday after pasting a cartoon image over a portrait of King Charles III at a London art gallery. The incident, which was captured on video and shared by a group called Animal Rising, involved campaigners placing a picture of a character named Wallace from the ‘Wallace and Gromit’ comedy series over the king's head.
The activists referred to this act as ‘comic redecoration’ and stated that it was intended to draw attention to their investigation, which allegedly uncovered widespread violations of animal husbandry rules at farms approved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A speech bubble next to Wallace's head read: “No cheese, Gromit. Look at all this cruelty on RSPCA farms!”
