Eco-vandals targeted Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie's £241million superyacht in Ibiza today, using fire extinguishers to coat it in red and black paint.

Vegan activists from Futuro Vegetal (Vegetable Future) sprayed the 360ft vessel before holding up a 'You Consume Others Suffer' sign in their latest climate protest stunt.

The Spanish group has claimed responsibility in a statement on social media, which states that 'the only reason we continue to maintain an economic system that leads us to eco-social collapse is to sustain the privileges of this small privileged class.'

The superyacht belongs to US supermarket heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, who has an estimated $7.7billion fortune and is the daughter of Walmart co-founder James 'Bud' Walton.

It has been moored in the marina for five days and was scheduled to leave Ibiza today. But the vandals struck just as the crew prepared to set sail. Police say two male protesters have been arrested.

It comes just two days after the Spanish group carried out a similar stunt in Ibiza, when the eco-zealots sprayed paint onto a private jet.

A crewmember from a yacht nearby to Kaos told MailOnline the damage to the vessel will likely cost its owner 'millions'.

Futuro Vegetal's aim is to end subsidies to livestock farming and use the money for a transition to a socially and ecologically just plant-based food system, according to their mission statement.

It states: 'We don't have time to keep trying the same tactics we've been using for years.

'We need the entire population to be aware of the critical point that we have reached as humanity and of the intergenerational violence that institutional policies entail in the face of the Climate Crisis.'

Security is on the marina. They charge her yacht for space, etc.
Granted, she should have her own.
Anyway the article mentioned the culprits were questioned...

The fuzz was useless.

Mount swivel guns (belt fed Gatlings, if you please) on the bow and stern ... and use them. Then head out to international waters and plead you were repelling pirates. Gibets for the survivors. The 18th century way is again becoming the right way.

SHOOT TO KILL

Walmart SICKENS me - I would NEVER shop there, nor eat at McDonald’s.

There are MUCH BETTER options.

[ConservativeInPA]

Shoot them dead. There is no fixing these vermin.

Which side do you go with - the spray painting or the cleanup?

[Libloather]

Scored my very first papaya at Walmart. Tasty. The skin is bitter. Didn’t roast the seeds. Maybe next time.

Well, even with them only being ‘questioned’, that’s a good thing. It probably means the police now have their names, face pics and personal info on file.
It’s a beginning.

Science has proven that plants communicate with one another, so maybe plant’s feelings are next. So looks like plants are off the dinner table..... guest you protesters will have to kill yourselves so that you can be one with the Earth!

[EngineDad]

I do not condone vandalism. But in this case, I say screw the owner. Anyone else notice the Jamaican flag flying instead of ole glory? I hope it cost a ton of money to clean up. Commie B@stards.

” He said the port security 'were useless' “

Ya think?

[rovenstinez]

I want the USA back hits the nail on the head. We do need to recognize the rights of private citizens. Find some other way to vent your anger, like stop shopping at Walmart.

[Third Person]

I think it’s called quiet luxury... now is not the time to flaunt wealth

[econjack]

I still admire people who are associated with large companies. Besoz, Musk, and the Walton family have a huge impact on our economy; worldwide as well. Suppose the Walton family just got fed up with jerks like these and packed it in. 2.1 million people would immediately be without a job. If Bezos quits, add 541,900 more people out of work. Musk adds another 110,000. Until you clowns figure a way to take up the slack, quit the penis envy and get a job!

[Hambone 1934]

Remember the Yacht tax fiasco??? The rich stopped buying them and the middle class workers were unemployed..The dems “”quietly”” took the tax away.....

It is a pity that none of the eco warriors were sprayed with superheated canola oil.

[Dave911]

Instead of spray washing the stern that crew member and several others should have been down on the dock beating the crap out of those idiots.
