Would it be less cruel to slaughter & eat them? Letting them watch eachother be killed. Im 100% sure the pigs were sedated since theres no way they would’ve sat still. These animals are probably only still alive today because they got inked.

I hate it!! They are PIGS, not dolls!!! They have feelings, they can feel pain. People are too blind, idiot, and selfish! I wish someone did the same to them (or worst).

It is disgustingly cruel to animals that can’t speak up to say no. i hope this idiot gets prosecuted.

We’re discussing this issue in our classroom right now and find it; interesting, confused, creative, kinda cruel, cool, not sure, strange, stupid, disturbing and interesting designs but not sure about using live pigs.

But, not to be too crude, what does the bacon taste like?

Definitely not very appealing to me, at all. Tattoo a human.

This is disgusting. How can people subject these animals to such senseless pain in the name of ‘art’?

Horrible horrible. I don’t care if it IS art. Do you know that pig’s skin is ultra-sensitive? Do you know how many HOURS it takes to tattoo this kind of art? Nice art. Cruelty to animals!

As good as it looks … is it cruelty to animals?

Looks cool, but what a cruel thing to do to an animal – putting them through such pain. They wouldn’t understand what was going on. It’s disgusting and seems a little hypocritical coming from a vegetarian.
