"Artist"? This person needs a beating. WTF

[Racerbvd]

Well, I do help with strays, didn't need some assbite to stage a art showing like that. A cute puppy or kitten face does the job.








The facts about animal control agencies are scary. More than 70% of cats who enter animal shelters are killed. And Alley Cat Allies is determined to change that fact.



Every year, Alley Cat Allies mounts a tremendous campaign to educate the citizens and policy makers of our country about the cruel policies that are killing our nation’s cats. Last year alone, we responded to over 45,000 requests for information from caring individuals across the country.



But there are still so many citizens who need to hear about the cruel policies—and the fact that their tax dollars are being used to kill cats. And there are so many emergencies we must be prepared for.



That is why I’m asking you to join Alley Cat Allies’ community of committed donors by making a gift of $10, $25, or even $50 today.



With your support, we will:

Consult with policymakers to create policies that work for citizens, governments, and outdoor cats,
Conduct crucial research to prove that our current animal control system is inefficient, ineffective, and cruel,
And, organize massive campaigns to spread the truth about stray and feral cats to citizens nationwide.
But we can’t do it without you. Just this year - with the help of supporters like you - we have have stopped the killing of cats in Cape May, NJ, Chantilly, VA, and Randolph, IA.



So please, click here to make a donation today and join tens of thousands of citizens who protect outdoor cats by supporting Alley Cat Allies.



We need you now more than ever before. Please don’t miss this chance to make a difference.



For the cats,

Becky Robinson

President

would be more relevant showing some guy with an art history degree slowly starving to death.

In a previous thread, posters were stating that "art" was supposed to be provocative in one way or another. Provocation can take many forms beyond art. This is not art. This is a campaign of some sort, fake, faked or otherwise.

I won't watch it either, but who claimed that this was done by an artist? Did they mean anarchist?

Byron,
I'm not sure I caught this organization's drift:

"With your support, we will:

What does this group advocate happening to the feral cats other than saving their lives? Will they adopt them? The piece doesn't say.

Cat ranches are getting more popular,

This Ranch is The Cat's Meow

Craig Grant hugs King Meatball.

Craig did not plan to found a shelter for abandoned cats, but one cat led to another and he's bought 25 acres about 100 miles west of Jacksonville where he takes care of 101 rescued felines.

tractor's feline family has 25 acres of cat-friendly rustic paradise to roam on.

For Craig Grant, Caboodle Ranch is the purr-fect place, a rustic paradise for him and his 101 cats.

Grant founded the cat sanctuary two and a half years ago, when he had just 22 furry friends. It now covers 25 acres of a former pine tree farm in a rural area about 100 miles west of Jacksonville.

Turns out people aren't very nice to each other, either. Makes for great "art" though.

Darfur 2003:



Croatia 1995:



Rwanda 1994:



Cambodia 1977:



Biafra/Nigeria 1968:



Germany 1944:



Ukraine 1933:



Turkey 1916:



Germany, 30 years war (1618-1648):



Spain, 1478:



Lots more where these came from, this barely scrapes the surface of the proud history of the human race.

If this is what we can do to our own species, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that we can treat other species badly too...

search for joel peter witkin.

THing is Brian, those are not art, they are pictures of atrocities, so I guess there is some commonality with this subject.

It makes an effective story, though, further to Roman's comment.

Does not matter.

So he prettended to starve a dog to death and call it art. How about I put his mouth on the curb and kick him in the back of the head a few times and call that art. He can glue his teeth to a piece of construction paper and make his own art after.

I don't walk by stray animals. I could not even guess how many times I have caught a stray dog and either put them together with their owner, or found them a new place to live, even in my home.

Michigan Mat is offensive to me, does that mean he is an artist?
