Wim Delvoye http://www.lifeinthefastlane.ca/when-tattoos-and-art-go-to-the-hogs-pig-tattooing/artAs you look at the pics and watch the video, you will hear the narrator tell you that it dosent hurt the pigs,..but you will see, although they appear to be slightly drugged (was said somewhere that they are) still they struggle and squeal and try to get away. It takes several men to hold one down.
It is obvious that they are suffering great distress, despite any drugs they may or may not have been given. It is rediclious for them to say it dosent hurt them.
Studies have shown that pig-skin is very similar to humans, sharing certain sensitive nerves, capularies, tendons or or whatever it is that makes up the epidermis. That is why cosmetic companies like to use them for testing their make up and skin care products. That is why hospitals will sometimes use pigskin for grafting. Also please note: Look at the size of the needle the "artist" is using...its huge. Notice the big bold lines one poke makes when the "artist"is signing his name on one of his "pieces."
We must let the world know we do not BUY this kind of "Cruel Art." We must STOP it before it spreads.
Thanks for caring signers
