BioArt : "The Victimless Meat" - Blog 1

Well, we can all talk about how crazy this seems but in reality, people are killing, people are manipulating, using innocent animals for their own pleasure or gain. This is not right. It is unethical and moral to treat these animals as nothing, using them at our own will. Can you imagine yourself as an animal, and perhaps having someone working on you in a lab, growing perhaps a human ear on your back? It’s absurd. In my opinion, this so called bioart shouldn’t even be considered art but “shameless science”. The fact that these animals can’t do a damn thing about it is saddening. Their defenceless and is made as entertainment values for humans rather then being considered life, just like you and me. With the technology swiftly moving along, humans want more and more. They want things to be faster, easier, less time consuming, more relaxing and the list goes on. We tend to forget about the basics. Without animals, we would starve yet we don’t appreciate, but display them as “art”. Having said all this, it’s a cruel thing to do and we should stop exploiting what we have before it’s too late.
