Banksy Safari, by Happy Shopper on Aug 9, 2024 16:58:13 GMT 1, This is an amusing statement from Speed Events after their employee โunknowingly assistedโ in the Howling Wolf theft. ๐คฃ๐คฃ Worcestershire-based Speed Events said: โSpeed Events were not in anyway involved in any stunt or deliberately involved in the theft of the Banksy Howling Wolf Dish. A subcontractor on his way back home happened to be passing whilst this alleged offence was being committed, he unknowingly assisted by climbing to help but then immediately became aware of what was occurring as it happened, then went into a panicked, shocked response as the real pranksters/thieves made away with the Dish. It is clear from our side this is an error in judgement, it also looks like a prank for publicity but again is not something Speed Events had any part of and would like to make that completely clear.โ If you watch the video with sound, it could actually be true. Someone says something like โthanks mateโฆ youโre a starโ as itโs handed down to him. Then the 2 with hoods run off while he calmly carries on walking.

Banksy Safari, by King and a Duck on Aug 9, 2024 17:21:41 GMT 1,
Well that's shit. I had it all to myself on Tuesday night (well, 2am Weds). No security there (as there had been for the goat), and no passers by.
I considered how rare it was to be in the presence of a valuable piece of art with nothing between you and the art, no glass, no security, no cameras, nothing. It was quite a thing.
Didn't lob paint at it though, did I.
Cocks.

Banksy Safari, by Complex iCom on Aug 9, 2024 17:49:10 GMT 1, I find it so depressing, that you can't have something nice, even for a few days. It's really disheartening.
To me personally these pieces represent the innocence of nature. They have a childlike charm, the artist is enjoying the simplicity and beauty animals have. And to deface them feels like quite a violent act. Deface something political! It's like an ugly analogy of how humans destroy the natural world, what a shame.

Unfortunately I agree. Sure they are a bit of fun, but they donโt compare with Ukraine or Spraycation, which are what I love about Banksy.

The like you received is entirely for sharing your heartfelt sentiment when you were standing in front of such a beautiful piece of art - without distraction and probably in the quiet of the night in mellow streetlight - must have been a profound moment to find yourself alone, just like the artist would've done, in front of these two windows.
I am speechless as to why someone would deliberately go and alter such a beautiful silhouette of one of the kindest animals on the planet. It is clearly not just simple vandalism, but purposeful intent - akin to wanting to go and kill for sport (or ivory) - sacrilegious ! ๐ญ

I was speaking to the locals earlier and the owners take a long holiday to visit family in Cyprus each year. It should remain uncovered for a while.

You can see how the group of four work together and โMr Speed Eventsโ did not unknowingly assist.

In fact they would look like a pelican and a heron. They are feasting together despite being two different types.
