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.

We eat cows, and no one wants to defend them.

I eat cows but I don't eat dogs/cats/etc. Even if a person display a dead cow as art, that would still be considered as sick in my eyes. Would you want someone to display your dead carcass and call it art? If YOU do want that to happen, I sure as hell don't want to see it.

So what?  We are on one of the biggest mass extinctions in history.  We are humans.  We are more 'Self indulged' and want more for the good of human kind.

So because we're "on one of the biggest mass extincitons in history" we should just go with the flow?

You just need to think more 'What if I was the animal, wanting food.  If there was a human there, and it was edible, and I was hungry, and I could eat it, would I?  Of COURSE!!'

What if I was the animal wanting to carve you up for art. There was a human (you) there, and it has potentials to be art. I wanted to carve you for art, would I? NOOOOO, OF COURSE!!!! Because I CAN'T f**kING DO IT.

If YOU had really thinkg about it then you would have asked the question would a cat kill a human for food or for art?


Out of fairness, if an animal can't kill a human for art, humans shouldn't do it either, in my opinion.

Animals can't think the way we do.  I know that.  We feel things as well. 

Though they do not have the mental capacity that we have, does that mean they suffer any less than we do in pain?

"The question is not, 'Can they reason?' nor 'Can they talk?' but 'Can they suffer?"
-- Jeremy Bentham (If you don't know, he's a philosopher)

Why don't we ban ourselves from killing off other people?

We have laws by government, and we have laws by human standard.

Who would you rather mourn, your father who got shot in Iraq or you pet dog who died because some man came and fed it shards of glass because he is an animal hater??

How about not mourning at all? Or mourning for ONE thing instead of TWO things?
