Naked demonstrators kill sheep under Auschwitz gates [View all]

Police in Poland have detained at least 11 people after a naked demonstration at the Auschwitz museum, on the site of the former Nazi death camp.

The museum said "a group of people killed a sheep, undressed and chained themselves together".
...
The motive behind the demonstration was unclear, officials said.
...
The demonstrators could be charged with insulting a monument or symbolic place, which may result in a fine or a restriction of liberty, police said.
...
Some Polish media say the action was a protest against the war in Ukraine, BBC Warsaw correspondent Adam Easton reports.

When no one really knows what you're "demonstrating" about, but the best guess is something completely unrelated to the sombre monument you're detracting from, it's a big failure.
