Two climate activists have been arrested after trashing Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie's £241million superyacht Kaos by dousing it in red and black paint.
Protesters from Futuro Vegetal (Vegetable Future) sprayed the 360ft vessel using fire extinguishers as it lay moored in Ibiza just after 9am on Sunday.
Footage has emerged of the two eco zandals approaching the 'Kaos' and beginning to spray paint over it, as staff on board run out and attempt to wash it off with water.
After they defaced the superyacht, which belongs to the Walmart heiress who has an estimated $7.7bn fortune, the protesters are seen holding up a sign saying 'You Consume Others Suffer'.
The stunt continues a summer of outlandish protests staged by eco activists including disrupting major sporting and cultural events and spray painting a private jet in Ibiza two days earlier.
A crewmember from a yacht nearby to Kaos told MailOnline the damage to the vessel will likely cost its owner 'millions' and slammed the 'useless' port security.
He said: 'If Kaos had left ten minutes earlier it would have been our yacht.'
He added: 'They took ages to come and police didn't even arrest them, they just took them in for questioning.'

The Waltons are a major funder of “climate change journalism” and other anti-human activities.
If this was done to George Soro’s mega yacht - literally heads would roll. Only a few chosen are protected.
I don’t believe so.
I believe these oligarchs probably stage these acts on their own property for two reasons.
One, they get high publicity for their goals and at the same time cover as victims. Two, the perps get to commit these acts with little to no criminal repercussions because the oligarchs won’t press charges on the the perps, because they’ve colluded with the groups indirectly to orchestrate the whole scenario.
“The Waltons are a major funder of “climate change journalism” and other anti-human activities.”
I had the chance to ask a former Honeywell board member why corporate boards often had paid members like Hillary Clinton and Jesse Jackson who never attended a board meeting. He said it was insurance against eco-nuts. Some group, Greenpeace or the ACLU comes after you. You’d get Hillary or Jessee to give them a call. Nine times out of ten the group would desist and go after someone else. They’re grifters and because of honor among thieves, they don’t poach on each other’s territory.
The problem here is the group going after the yacht was probably some local bunch of coffee shop liberals who got high. It wasn’t the normal kind of lawfare and paid protesters. It’s the liberal “lone wolf” against which the defense is an armed guard.
The paint is a petroleum product and so is the ink. Hypocrites.
And so is their clothing and shoes.
And how did they get there? Fly?......................

Good point. Makes sense
I searched and it did not come up................
LOL! Well, according to the mods——”search still works”. 😧👍 Once in a while. Even using just a “key” word I still go off the bridge from time to time.
Article says group is named “vegetable future”.
It looks like the National Education Association has been renamed!
What goes around comes around.......................
I'll tell you why!
Or the DNC................
If you can afford a 300+ million dollar yacht, then you can afford to buy a mini-gun and a hire former SEAL to man it. Just sayin’
That’ll buff right out................
I wonder if they gave a minute’s thought about the REAL PEOPLE who labored and were paid to build that yacht. That yacht paid for their homes and cars and children’s schooling. They are skilled craftsmen who deserve their paychecks.
