Victoria police have arrested three individuals after “Woolly” the mammoth at the Royal BC Museum was defaced with bright pink paint by protesters who said they wanted to draw attention to climate change.
The defacement of the museum’s centrepiece took place just before 11:15 a.m. PT on March 1, according to a statement by the Victoria Police Department. Police said other visitors, including children and families, were present at the time of the incident, which remains under investigation.
