Why was the famous Danish attraction "Little Mermaid" splashed with paint?

The mermaid in Andersen's fairy tales is a symbol of beauty and simplicity in many people's hearts. It is based on the image in Andersen's fairy tales and is regarded as the embodiment of purity and kindness, which is world-renowned. Two weeks ago, unknown people threw red paint to protest against whaling in the Faroe Islands, and 13 was destroyed again that night, and the sculpture was splashed with blue paint. At the same time, criminals left the words "release Abdullah" in Danish on the open space in front of the sculpture.

The police are looking for a female suspect, about 1.7 meters tall and blonde. At present, it is unclear who "Abdullah" refers to. According to Cui Lin, a tour guide from China who works in Denmark, when she took a group to visit the "Little Mermaid" scenic spot on the morning of 14, she found that the left half of the sculpture and her legs were splashed with blue paint.

The police set up a cordon around the scenic spot, and tourists can only visit the mermaid from a distance. The "Little Mermaid" sculpture is located on the harbor rock in Copenhagen Long Beach Park, and was created by Danish sculptor Edward Eriksson according to Andersen's fairy tales. Historically, the "Little Mermaid" sculpture has also been destroyed many times.
