| Quote: | Milton Keynes' famous concrete cows could be permanently moved after recent vandalism turned them into skeletons.
The three cows and calves in Bancroft were painted as skeletons overnight last week, The Parks Trust, the charity which maintains them, said.
The charity said it was going to cost £2,000 to repaint the sculptures and in the long-term believed they might have to be moved if the vandalism continued. |
Pictures included.

Improvement imo, but they are not my property.

To each their own. Were I foolish enough to have those crap things on my property, I'd be grateful if they received that sort of improvement. But, again, not my property... without the consent of the owner, it is vandalism.

I only care when my tax money is spent on "art." In that case, no.
