This infuriates me to no end

There's an artist, Nathalia Edenmont, who kills CATS, mice, doves, RABBITS, and other animals, mutilates their bodies, and then takes their photographs. She's on exhibit, among other places, at the Wetterling Gallery in Sweden. She has taken the top halves of five white mice and made them into finger puppets. She beat a cat to death with a stick. And this is called art. This is not only inhumane, but morally reprehensible.

It's one thing if the animals were already dead, but she KILLED them and it's unknown if it was even in a humane way....forget what that stupid gallery claims. And if she and the rest of her supporters think that I and anyone else who sees this as cruel and inhumane and NOT art are just a bunch of uncultured, low-class monkeys, well, so be it. I'd rather be that than someone who indulges in sadistic acts while covering it up with the excuse of "making art". Psycho killers who mutilate their victims sometimes claim that they are doing it for the sake of their "art" and making their victims "more beautiful"...

Apparently that artist.

The gallery put up a little thing defending her "art". It claims that her art was serving the purpose of showing the hypocrisy of people protesting her art while not protesting meat-eating, wearing animal hide and using animals as test subjects.

I'm sorry but there are numerous organizations protesting those very things but you don't see them killing the animals they want to save as a message.

This is sick.
I signed the petition and sent the link to some of my colleagues.
