A promotional exhibit during which over 100 live butterflies were pinned to a model’s dress drew heavy criticism this week, as netizens denounced the cruel treatment of the butterflies.
Vigilante animal rights activists, outraged by the display, took it upon themselves to dish out justice, and decided to vandalize the nature reserve where the incident occurred. A noble idea, perhaps, except they ended up getting it wrong and vandalized a completely different nature reserve.
The staff of Baotianman Nature Reserve in Neixiang County were no doubt surprised when the activists stormed their reception area, and erected a tombstone for the butterflies, as the incident they were protesting had in fact happened at the Baotianman Nature Reserve in Nanchao County, over 120 kilometers away.

Sounds like typical "Remove brain, become animal rights activist" behaviour to me. While I'm sure there are plenty of normal, sane people working in animal rights, so many of them are basically just crazy cat ladies who have decided to remain in contact with other people.
