Isn't the bull also the symbol of a impoverishment of workers?

In financial jargon:

Bulls are peoples betting in growth saying buy, and betting on more dividends given to share holders vs work costs.

Bears are the one selling. (Bad news too to be honest, but more for share holders than workers)

A long trend in bullish behaviour is related to the richs getting richers.

Since it is in the financial district and they were pissed, it looks indeed the girl can be seen as a counter guerilla meaning finance is a symbol of countering the excess of finance.

Which, if it were the meaning would be kind of a strong alteration of one of the meaning of the oeuvre.

Knowing that among the undeniable moral right of the author there is right to prevent distortion, mutilation, or modification that would prejudice the author's honor or reputation, the guy do not have a point, he is in his lawfull right! Denying his point is just undermining the very few protection of authors.

As a coder whose work is protected by Author's rights I strictly see as dangerous to fight against hardly claimed rights that makes our value.

I do free software and I do not give up on my moral rights and I think as a worker protected by these rights we should be educated in author's right and whether or not we like his point of view, we should stand for his claim because that is a fair right.

Imagine you make a software or an essay saying HN is full of interesting bright mind, and someone defaces it adding contents to mean HN is full of pedantic idiots. Would you like this?

He probably doesn't actually have any legal claim; the purpose of those laws is to protect the physical integrity of artworks, not the conceptual integrity.
No, moral rights go beyond physical integrity, but at the same time they only protect "the author's honor or reputation". I don't think they apply in this case.
