OK, so this strikes a chord with me on 2 counts:
1) Obviously, the humane animal welfare aspect. So he says he's doing it to raise awareness...BS....there's MUCH better ways to raise awareness than to let any living creature suffer and die. He's going to die eventually, too, maybe he should tie himself to a wall so people can watch him starve to death. He can call it performance art. There won't be an encore, but that's fine by me.
2) The 'art' aspect. I was technically an art major in college (commercial art/graphic design), and HATED being characterized as such mainly due to the freaks such as this nutjob that made up 80% of the art dept. I appreciate art (real art), and like going to museums, etc., BUT I tend to disagree with a lot of the crap out there that people want to pass off as art. What this guy is doing is FAR from art, and he is a sorry excuse for a human being.
