  These are cultivated nopales. They grow lots of new pads every year for harvest. This is like scratching a picture on a apple.

      I appreciate your intentions my friend. But I guarantee to you that nopale graffiti is not a problem.

  And DO NOT assume you can carefully touch them by just putting your fingers in between the big seemingly sparse spikes coming out of them. It turns out there are little tiny prickers all along the entire surface at high density. They will sink into your hand, are very painful, and very difficult to remove.

    when I was a kid I had to retrieve a ball that went into a brush of prickly pear. I didn’t see any spikes coming out of it so I thought it was fine.

    it hurt so much just to move my hand

  Meh. It’s prob pic OP’s cacti. Especially taking the grass background. I have these in my yard, from taking overgrowth pickings from my parents yard. I have to cut them back a couple times a year to keep them from over growing their boundaries or getting fat woody trunks.

  In general though, yes. Don’t mess with natural flora and fauna.
