London's NHM is a hotspot for dinosaur lovers this year with this exhibit along with the Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary Store;

I should be at the exhibition at 8.45 on Monday morning.  I'm wondering if I dare take my Safari model with me!

They attacked the Dippy cast while it was on tour too I seem to recall.

 :(  Confused and disoriented movement, partly antisocial. Sooner or later they'll loose any support this way.
    If you're having a problem with the oil industry, attack the oil industry! Violating Dinosaur skeletons doesn't make any sense.

There's certainly a pathetic element to them, from what I can see and hear from this side of the Atlantic. No, as far as I can tell, fossil remains are not contributing to 'genocide' and other evils. Not a particularly good PR move.

Mild panic after spending £200 to go see it next weekend XD. Looks like it reopened the next day though. Attacking a place of science is a big no-no but I am a little suspicious the museum may have been sympathetic to their cause; it certainly seems to have garnered some press for them. I don't see how they could possibly have gotten that gear through security.

This is why we can't have good things.
Someone will always ruin it for us normal folk.

Security isn't that careful. I would guess especially at half term with huge crowds.
