Art Institute exhibit showing animals being hit with sledgehammers

[Guest guest]

Hi Rosalind,

 

Thank you for letting everyone know about this extremely sickening

exhibit. I went to the Art Institute of San Francisco and can't find

any mention of it. Could they have taken it down because of community

outrage?

 

Also, I could not find out how to email them, so if anyone has a

contact email, that would be great. The only email I could find for

them was for admissions: aicasfadm I don't think admissions

would be the right department to contact.

 

Thanks again for your post,

" Could they have taken it down because of community outrage? "

 

Apparently not. An article in Examiner.com says the Art Institute

stands by the exhibit - called, " Don't Trust Me " - and it is going to

be up until May 31:

All,

 

Can someone fill me in here on why there is 'such' a reaction to this exhibit?

Did we contact the artists to know what his intentions/motives are for showing

this?

 

Did the artists actually 'killed' these animals himself and video tape this? Or

did he just went to a place where this happen (a slaughter house of some sorts)

and took video from there?

 

 

How is this different than the PETA " Meet your meat " and or many of the other

films that are shown on TV etc of animal slaughter, shown by " animal loving

organizations " ?
