The site is extraordinarily fragile. I'd say that it's the difference between stepping on someone's toe and their exposed brain.

I think the best apology would be jail time. Certainly no longer than the number of years since the lines were drawn, because we wouldn't want to be unfair.

not saying that you are wrong, but how is it so fragile?

Here's an unsullied picture of the hummingbird

The fuckers basically just doodled in the corner of the Mona Lisa. 😡
 
What's so stupid about this is that they could have done this anywhere. If they're there why not do it on the salt flats in Bolivia? What idiot thought this was a good idea?
 
Jesus Christ... Is that blurry shit actually a clear picture of the damage? Should all be going to prison. Peruvian prison should smarten them up.

Way to promote your cause, what a bunch of assholes.

This is what you get by supporting ftards that do "slacktivism" to "raise awareness". It's just a euphemism for being a self centered asshole where there world revolves around "your cause" while you accomplish absolutely nothing.

See occupy wall street, Ferguson idiots stopping traffic, retweeting a hashtag about a cause that's popular this week etc. It's the lefty version of putting a ribbon on your SUV; makes you feel you did anything while not actually doing anything at all.

That's absolutely horrible. That picture made me both angry and depressed.

All involved should be arrested and tried as the eco-terrorists they are.

Hit the nail on the head.

Greenpeace is the gift that keeps on giving. Anything that makes the climate alarmists look like the idiots they are is good in my books.
 
I'd need to see the dates on all the images before I'd attribute the damage to Greenpeace alone. Just saying that type of media misdirection is all too common.
The real bummer is, they have gotten their message spread far and wide with every click. It was another media victory or them.

I take it that you subscribe to the "any press is good press" school of thought.

Satellite imagery (Google Earth) from last year doesn't show any damage to the site as far as I can see.

Footprints as irreparable damage? Does nobody else think they might be overstating their case? Greenpeace is a group of attention whores, but I don't think they're the only ones.

Yeah, it seems a bit of overstatement, it's not like they were doing snow angels in the sand. They put some cloth letters down with bricks over them. Not sure how that would destroy it, it wasn't over any of the sacred lines either. What they did wasn't any worse than a violent thunderstorm.

All in all, stupid move though.

True, but it almost never rains in that area.

That's the whole reason the lines are still there. :colbert:

I noticed the picture of damage was from an oblique view. It may not show from 90 degrees overhead. It will be interesting to watch as new satellite imagery becomes available.

yes, it's a heritage site. Very valuable piece of history and plenty of people there would be happy to shoot at anybody who decides to walk on it.

Hanging a banner from the CN Tower? That generated a lot of publicity for them, and a lot of it was positive.

Irreparably damaging a 2 thousand year-old national treasure? I don't see anyone with half a brain respecting them for that.

My take on the above two situations:

1) Meh. Give the perpetrators a slap on the wrist, fine them, and ban them from the CN Tower area for life.

2) Lock them and all of the execs that ok'd it in prison for a good while. Maybe even expel all non-Peruvian greenpeace members, and ban all non-Peruvian greenpeace members from entering the country again.
