I know this isn't USA related but it affects animals everywhere by shaping people's minds about what is acceptable; this is not. Nathalia Edenmont, who calls herself an artist, kills and uses cats, mice, doves, rabbits, etc, in her "art". Her work is on exhibit at the Wetterling Gallery in Sweden. The gallery states that she "kills them in as humane way as possible". Even if these were merely computer generated photos, they are still repugnant and vulgar. These are not pieces of art, they are repulsive, disgusting and a huge blemish on the art world. How anyone can describe these as beautiful is beyond my comprehension. (Pam, thanks for the heads up on this.)
