Members of two groups that urge UK courts to take greater notice of divorced fathers' rights denied vandalizing the White Horse of Uffington with purple paint.

The horse, a huge chalk monument carved into a hillside in Oxfordshire, England, had recently been re-chalked by volunteers. A banner referring to "fathers 4 justice" was left at the scene.

The damage to the horse has been repaired with a further volunteer effort. Police requested anyone who had information about the vandalism to contact them.
