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.

are these deaths really that much of a waste if it's cleary making us think that much? it obviously provoked this topic. it's making us think about animal cruelty for the people who wear real fur and skin. what she did was no different than eating a whopper.
remember the bonazi kitten? when people found out it was fake, no one cared. imagine what it be like if it was true and what an impact it would have on people. she'sdoind a better job at killing then meat/leather producers.

Eating meat and displaying dead animals are quite different, in my opinion.

Sure, there are people who wear real fur and animal skin, but I do not speak for them. They are, most likely, the ones who would purchase her art.

I eat meat because it's part of my regular diet, however, the type of meats I consume is limited and do not extend to cats/dogs/snakes... etc.

Eating livestock isn't the same as killing a cat and displaying it. I'm sure to many of you, there isn't much of a difference, but to me, flaunting that as art is inhumane.
