It's like tons of oil get spilled into the ocean every and people don't care, but if someone spills something near a painting people go nuts. So they wanted to do something that will be noticeable.
It's like when the Cathedral Notre Dame got burned and some people were pointing out how people care more about some cathedral burning than the rainforest.
And on the same note, The Alaska Department of Fish and Game said this week it canceled the winter snow crab season in the Bering Sea for the first time because of a decline in the crab population. Biologists say the warming of the waters is a possible factor.
The crab population is seriously down. Something like a billion crabs disappeared from the ocean in the last two years, but if someone disrespects a painting, now there's a real tragedy.
their idea is essentially this, it is appropriate to blow up a kindergarten or hospital if doing so can seem to provide a platform for drawing attention to the fact that far more people are dying somewhere else.
Are there any incidents where eco-terrorists have blown up a kindergarten or a hospital?
