On the City of Ceramics’ undoubtedly iconic viaduct, someone put up pseudograffiti featuring a beaver. Under the animal’s drawing, they also added an inscription that reads:
In the Middle Ages, it was believed that beavers’ tails contained so much of the nature of fish that they could be eaten on fasting days.
This is true, because we can find the same sentence under the entry Medieval cuisine in the Polish Wikipedia.
What did the author of the “work” mean? It is difficult to say. We also do not recommend checking for yourself whether medieval beliefs are based on truth, because beavers are protected in Poland.
All that remains is to appeal once again to vandals not to destroy something that is a common good, and to use their excess energy in some creative way. We should also remind them that this type of vandalism may result in a penalty of between three months and five years in prison. If a historic monument was damaged, the penalty may be as much as eight years.
