Cow sculptures in vandal attack

[Merlion]

I am a bit surprised vandalism of such charity cow sculptures can be so prevalent in Edinburgh which I remember is a nice tourism art city. See below, both taken from the BBC.

Cow sculptures in vandal attack

Vandals have attacked fibreglass cows in Edinburgh the day after they went on display as part of a public art project.

The cows were hand-painted by local artists and placed around the city as part of the CowParade project.

Seven of the 94 sculptures have been attacked. [snip]

Sad tale of the vanishing 'cow'

A cow sculpture which is part of a public art project in Edinburgh has gone missing.

Kathryn Pennel, from Dunfermline, is devastated after the cow she designed for arts event CowParade disappeared.

The 12-year-old was the winner of a Lloyds TSB Scotland competition to design a cow for the parade, which raises money for charity.

The fibreglass cow, one of 94 in the capital, was outside the bank's Hanover Street branch.

At the weekend, it was vandalised and was due to be repaired but bank staff found it had vanished by Wednesday. [snip]
