                INHUMANITY PUR – AND NOBODY HELPED THE LITTLE CHICKEN
On April 18, 2013, a student at the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, brought a live chicken into the school cafeteria. In front of spectators, the student slowly cut the throat of the writhing, screaming bird. The student proceeded to bleed the chicken out, remove the bird’s head and feathers, and drop her into a pot – all in the guise of performance art.
Neither art nor education ever justifies harming and inflicting fear, pain and suffering and death upon another sentient being. As Mary Britton Clouse, Executive Director of Chicken Run Rescue and Justice for Animals Arts Guild, says: “Art is about ideas. Animals are not ideas. They are as real as we are. Their suffering and deprivation are psychologically and biologically indisputable, in the present, and mean the world to each individual animal. No act of self-expression is worth the life or liberty of another.”
The student`s actions must be recognized as blatant abuse and cruelty inflicted upon a defenceless animal.
Further, the student`s actions may be a sign of psychopathology. A large body of research indicates that those who inflict pain and suffering upon human victims often start by abusing nonhuman animals.
It is also disturbing that the students who witnessed the killing failed to act, and that a teacher allegedly approved the killing.
While the student who committed this cruelty should be prosecuted by authorities and disciplined by the school (along with undergoing mandatory psychological treatment), it is important that the ACAD act immediately to prevent future

      1. I am very impressed with your blog and internet activism. I believe that many would be interested in reading about how you got started, about your experiences and successes and your tips in that regard. Of course, you should write about your pet peeves and include links to your sites. We can do this on email. You retain publication rights of course. Include only photos that you own the rights to, and help promote your essay/ article on your blogs, twitter, facebook etc.
