March 13 (UPI) -- Environmental activists vandalized the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., to protest President Donald Trump's environmental policies.
The self-described "anonymous environmental activist collective" snuck onto the 18-hole, 7,300-yard course early Sunday and carved 6-foot-tall letters that said "NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS."
In a statement to The Washington Post, the group said the act of vandalism was carried out over the Trump administration's "blatant disregard" for the environment.
"In response to the president's recent decision to gut our existing protection policies, direct action was conceived and executed on the green of his California golf course in the form of a simple message: NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS," the group wrote.
One of the group's members said the message was carved using gardening tools and took less than one hour to complete.
Recent Trump administration actions criticized by environmental groups include the Environmental Protection Agency announcing it was abandoning measures that called for the disclosure of methane emissions from oil and natural gas wells.
