Anyone who has been on a Google hangout with Marie recently could not help but notice the magical, stencil dolphins playing so carefree on her wall.

Marie has threatened to paint over these creatures. Many of you will notice that Marie is already, in a very underhanded fashion, using paper and blue tack to restrict our view. We have rights. We have the right to a clear, unobstructed view of these clever, forever immortalised, creatures.

If we do not defend the rights of stencilled dolphins to exist, I ask you, what is the point of our humanity? For too long mankind has ridden roughshod over the rights of our pencil drawn friends. I ask you to take a stand today. To draw a HB line, a line that says this far, this far but no further.

Our lives are richer for wall art. It is wall art that separates mankind from the beasts. I know these animals are no threat to Banksy. But as much as they belong to Marie they also belong to all of us that have watched their soft sheen glisten during a sunny hangout.

Please sign the petition below to encourage Marie to keep the dolphins.
