do you think it's okay to kill animals for art?

i do not support it, but it's not different than what society already does. people kill animals for fashion. shoes, belts, coats, ect. people kill animals for meat. these things are 'okay'. not only okay, but something people want. people hunt for sport then go stuffing the bodies and heads of animals to hang them on a wall.

we don't need meat to live. we don't have to wear real fur, you could wear faux fur...none of them are necessary. you could live without meat. art isn't necessary to live. however, she could of used a different way to get her point across, such as painting,

if she killed any animal but 'cute fluffy things' would anyone even care? if she used spiders, ants, roaches, i doubt anyone would think there was even an issue.

could i ask all you who think we can live without meat to look at thier teeth? what are those sharp teeth at the very front for? in case you didn't know, there are essensial amino acids that you get from meat, and although other types of protien can supplament, it requires a RIGID diet to get adequete nutrition, sans meat.

could i ask you if you have any idea what you are talking about? Oh wait i already did. Being a vegan for 2 years, i know what I am talking about. It does not require a rigid diet to eliminate meat, actually its much healthier. OK stopping my rant now..

anyway, as for the using animals for art, I am completely against it. Like someone said above (i forgot who sorry) it is the same concept as killing a baby or a human and using it for art. Our society would consider that immoral and horribly indecent. The same should apply to animals. They are the same thing as us! (Acctually the difference between us and animals is only a few chromosomes, but lets not get into that)
