So they see a bull and just assume it's some kind of satanic symbol? Lmao

This is 'news', rather than NotTheOnion.

Religious and political extremism is a natural result of late stage capitalism (extreme income inequality).

And if there were any evidence of an animal God on earth, it's a bull, the most worshiped non-Christian animal around the world (come to think of it).

Well I'm with you on the religious extremism, and I'm no fan of our late-stage capitalism either, but I'm not sure these things are related.

Incorrect, Raccoonie is obviously best animal evidence of God 🦝🙏

Reminds me of that statue behind the pope, that depicts Jesus rising from a nuclear bomb explosion in Jerusalem. Looks pretty satanic to me, although it purports to be christian.

Porter has has said it will take several years to repair the damage

How does it take several years to wash spray paint off of the base of a giant iron statue

edit: wow the original link is pretty dishonest; look at the statues surrounding the bull https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/crime/2023/05/12/vandalism-incident-in-porter-sculpture-park-mccook-county-montrose-south-dakota/70209611007/

Some of the pieces were missing.

"A few other sculptures, including the Irish monks and a sculpture depicting the artist’s brother, have also been vandalized. Porter said that it will take him more than a year’s worth of work to replace the pieces that were stolen if they cannot be recovered."

wow the original link is pretty dishonest; look at the statues surrounding the bull

The piece had four guardians surrounding it. These are the artworks that have had parts stolen.

What's dishonest about the original link?

The sculptures look like they were quite cool.
