Port of Spain mayor Joel Martinez is calling on the public to show maturity and appreciate works of art as he responded to the defacing of four Chinese stone lions on Thursday.
The lions, which the Chinese government donated to Trinidad and Tobago, were unveiled at a ceremony in February.
Part of Charlotte Street had previously been designated "Chinatown" because of its historical association with Chinese merchants.
On Thursday it was reported that the lions had been defaced with obscene language written on them using markers.
Speaking with Newsday on Friday, Martinez ruled out the possibility of the lions being put in cages to prevent further vandalism, and instead urged the public to open their minds and learn to appreciate the artistic contributions of other cultures.
"When you put a piece of art in a city, it's not to cage it or to isolate it. We want people to come and take pictures with the statues, That's what all the cities around the world do to highlight their artwork. It's all part of appreciation.
"What we have to do in TT is learn to appreciate it and not destroy it. We need to learn how to appreciate works of art, and a small percentage of people need to learn that they can't just deface something if they don't like it. It's all a part of growth."
Newsday visited the statues again on Friday afternoon and saw all but one of the lions had been cleaned up. There was still graffiti on the back of one lion, at the corner of Charlotte and Park Streets.
Speaking with Newsday, one shopper, Edna Charles, said while she was not too keen on the idea of Chinatown in downtown Port of Spain, she felt the graffiti was childish and perpetuated the stereotype of downtown Port of Spain residents as classless.
"I was never big on the idea of calling the street Chinatown because I just didn't understand why it should be renamed, but I don't like what happened with the statues.
"There are small children passing here every day with their parents, and they have to see that nastiness that somebody wrote there. And it gives the rest of the country the impression that town people can't appreciate anything."
Newsday spoke to a vendor who asked to be identified only as Fleming, who said he also did not condone the vandalism, but felt it was part of a bigger issue facing downtown Port of Spain.
"I don't like that kind of behaviour from people. It makes all of us look bad in downtown. But people have been defacing streets and writing all kinds of foolishness in downtown for years. I hope they get around to cleaning up some of the graffiti in downtown too."
