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.

That's fucking sick.

I'm not even going to look at the links, but people who intentionally hurt animals for no good reason (I'd consider hunting for food a good reason) should be killed. End of story.

I agree. Since we are all made of the same thing and interconnected (same basic stuff), you hurt yourself when you hurt something else because the separation between you (ego) and the subject doesn't really exsist.
Thus it is wrong to hurt something else for no reason because you are truly hurting yourself.
That is my objective theory of morals I came up with recently I better run to S+P now.

That's a fun little theory but it really doesn't mean a damn thing to the people who are torturing animals, murdering people, and destroying the planet. And according to your theory it doesn't matter what you think in your current consious state because wouldnt your theory mean that you and the scumfucks of the world are one in the same?

I'm guessing you think it matters and you probably think you're special too.
well it doesn't, and you're not.
people are people all over the world, and all over the world is death, destruction, and misery created by people. And the kicker is is that there's nothing you can do to stop it.

I'm not defending or trying to glorify the killing of animals.
But you said:
Quote:
She beat a cat to death with a stick. And this is called art.
The website's introduction thing says:
Quote:
She has killed the animals in as humane a way as possible.
I'd imagine beating an animal to death with a stick isn't considered humane in Sweden.
I'm also curious as to what is thought of having an online petition against it. An art gallery in Sweden, I'd imagine, could care less about what citizens of other countries think, so long as it's not officials/ambassadors/presidents of other countries. I'd imagine that the art gallery cares first and foremost what their citizens think, since some of their grant money, if they operate even remotely the same as the US with public funding, comes from the people. Therefore it'd make the biggest impact if EU residents would sign the petition, especially EU residents that stand a chance of even going, i.e. that live fairly close to the museum.

Yes, all matter is made of the same basic stuff, actually, everything is made of energy. What those scumfucks are is the universe causing turmoil unto itself. Matter causing pain upon other matter is matter inflicting pain upon itself because there really is no separation
The scumfucks of the world and a baby kitten are inseperable. If a scumfuck hurts the kitten, the scumfuck hurts itself on a level which the dilusion of self (ego) blinds the scumfuck to.

That is simply pessimisticly biased and untrue.

i agree with you if you say, that there are worse things in the world than this strange person murdering animals. are all of you vegetarians/ wearing no leather/ using no animal products at all? if not, you quietly agree with thousands of animals being "murdered" everyday. i dont say that this is bad (the usage of animalproducts), i just wonder why you all talk about this "artist" like you would talk about the devil himself. i dont agree with you if you say that it is impossible to change the world. i get mad if you say that you're injecting "a healthy dose of reality" by telling that. sorry for my bad english.

I hate to sound mean but...how is it much different than a rendering plant or slaughter house? Just cause they are cute and fluffy? What about the fur trade? Leather trade? Glue, feather containing products, even vitamins and supplements? Is art less worthy than the above? Just to make my stance though..I don't support her. Just playing devils advocate.
