They then attached it to the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, which pays tribute to Revolutionary War soldiers, Animal New York reported.

"Fort Greene's Prison Ship Martyrs Monument is a memorial to American POWs who lost their lives during the Revolutionary War," the artists told Animal New York. "We have updated this monument to highlight those who sacrifice their safety in the fight against modern-day tyrannies."

However, users on Instagram reported that someone, presumably city officials, have since gone to the park and covered up the statue with a tarp.
