todays paper
but I guess they figured as seen as the pigs were reared in cages and then electrocuted for food nobody would mind. ;)

750413 will you jsut shut the fuck up you prick?
Because I have an opinion that is different from yours you felt the need to jump down my throat - how very mature.
I hope you get mauled to death by a mongoose limpdick

NAY. That's no better than organized dog fighting.
There's a place in hell for people like her. I hope that the next time she goes to the zoon, she falls over the railing into the polar bear exhibit.

though i don't understand nor appreciate her work, i don't wish her ill will.
but i wonder how she'd feel if her, or her deceased family/relatives were on display at a museum.

or minced into a hamburger

Cruelty is illegal. Killing humanly is not.
I don't "think" it would be illegal for me to go out and kill a rabbit for example.
I don't need to anyway. They don't call my Dad "Roadkill" for no reason.

i hope all of you bitching about her work are vegetarians.
these animals are being appreciated more in their death than that hamburger you just ate that was killed in a hell of a lot less humane way.

also, people tend to favor animals that they feel a connection to. dogs and cats have a more 'cognizant' personality if you will and show emotions, like happiness, depresssion, anxiety and sadness, unlike chickens who peck at their own shit regardless of what's going on around them.
this may be out of context with this topic, but someone mentioned that people would be ok with this if it were a different animal - like a chicken.

"these animals are being appreciated more in their death than that hamburger you just ate"
so should we show our appreciation to our family by perserving them in their deceased state in a museum? i'm not being sarcastic either, but perhaps i'm not following your logic.

I'd worry more about how they lived rather than how they died.

which also was likely more humane.

the double standard card toward carnivours is a lame tactic. it's a good point, but it's deviating from the issue: insensitivity/cruelty toward animals.

i think he's saying we put up with (and encourage by buying) animal products that have been treated far worse than these cats.
If the anger expressed here is the hypocrisy she wants to point out, then maybe she succeeded.
I dunno. Hungover and half dead myself.
Going home..

moth, I think you are dead right.

it would be easier to swlallow if she had an artists's statement accompanying her work.

Stevejobs: If you think that's bad, what if your family was made into a laundry basket?

17th century vanitas still life paintings didn't have artist statements to accompany them. you know the ones, every self respecting gentleman had one in his study - they featured objects celebrating extravagant riches juxtaposed with human skulls or an hour glass to remind said gentlemen of the impermanence of material pleasures...

I dont see how being a vegetarian has to do with weather or not someone thinks this form of expression is acceptable or not.
Who's got pets or companion dogs?
It may be different if she obtained animal carcass' from somewhere, but if she's actually killing an animal for art, that's twisted.
