On social media they justify the acts by stating that “the only reason we continue to maintain an economic system that leads us to eco-social collapse is to support the privileges of this small privileged class”.

They wrote that too “The mega-rich live off the suffering of others. They are the people at the top of the social pyramid who put all life on the planet at their service, forcing us to work to support their system, exploiting animals and destroying the land regardless of how much suffering and death entails”says the statement.

The vandalized yacht is called Kaos and is part of the 7.8 billion dollar (R$ 37 billion) estate of the heir to the Walmart chain. She is ranked 305 in the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
