I don't have to click on the link to know that what it contains is not "ART" in any shape, form or fashion. From the title of the link and the comments made so far, it is obvious it is nothing more than an exercise is mindless (or idiotic) brutality and the term "art" is simply used to justify the sadism perpetrated in the clip.

Lady Z - you mentioned back towards the beginning of the thread that you thought the methods of killing animals in slaughterhouses was supposedly quick and more or less "humane". While I don't have any personal experience in that field, I do have a bit of knowledge about the issue. You are correct that it is important for the animal to be killed as quickly and "cleanly" as possible. If it isn't killed instantly, it will bleed internally and that will affect the quality of the meat. So, while some may find the mere existence of "slaughterhouses" to be reprehensible, from the viewpoint of the people that actually kill the animals, it is necessary for quality and productivity that the animals be killed quickly with as little trauma and suffering as possible.
