Sheesh, animal cruelty! I can understand if the mouse is dead 1st before she cuts it up, like if it died of old age or something. But seriously, I hope she didn't torture the animals 1st.

But think of this:
We eat meat like chicken beef etc. I wonder whether these animals are humanely killed. If you have read fast food nation... it says how animals made for food are tortured before they die also. Like sometimes the blow to kill the cow only injures the cow's head and it doesn't die. So it suffers. Almost makes me wanna be a vegitarian.

But killing animals (humanely or inhumanely) for food is considered ok though I admit it can be done quite cruelly. I for one will never be able to slaughter a chicken or a duck though I eat them regularly.

Killing animals for art is simply unacceptable. No excuse for it.
