While I don't agree with activists throwing red paint on people wearing fur coats/interrupting fashions shows either I can at least understand the thought behind it because vegans don't want animals murdered for their fur, and fashions shows sometimes have fur items in them. Also the way some clothes are manufactured can be harmful to the environment. You can see those things and easily see the connection between the product/what they're protesting. There isn't a connection between art/the environment other than people trying to go viral and get attention, and the attention they're getting is people getting angry. People plan international trips for years, and the Louvre and seeing the work inside (including the Mona Lisa) is on a lot of people's bucket lists. If I were an international traveler who was visiting the Louvre that day and had my glimpse of the Mona Lisa denied because an asshole threw soup on her I would be LIVID, and I wouldn't care about what they were trying to accomplish. There are better ways to protest; people are doing it and will continue to do so.
