The turner prize (some UK art thing) was won Damien Hirst’s cow in formaldehyde ie a pickled cow, he has also done a sheep as well. Therfore Animals can be classed as art as those in the Art world have said so.

I think its also worth saying that humans have decorated their homes with animal bits almost since time began, whilst I think the image shown is a bit sick if she is killing them purely for the art it isnt perhaps as revolutionary as she thinks.

Ok, seriously, this is art?

She killed a cat and stuck its head on a vase?

This is art?

What if I [censored] on the floor and throw a fish on it? Is that art?

Yes, in the scheme of modern art it would be.

One recent turner art thing included the artists bed littered with her rubbish including used condoms.

I think also there was a story recently where an artists work was mistakenly thrown out by the cleaner thinking it was a bag of rubbish, in fact it had been sold and so the artist had to "painstakingly" redo it.

There are many other examlpes of modern art which the average person will say what a load of crap this is, but if someone is prepared to buy it then I guess people will keep on creating it.

I have a piece of art I've been trying to unload on someone. I call it:
