STOP PRESS:<\/p>\n

It seems that a snuff video will be shown at the exhibit at Centre Pompidou. So the killing the artist uses for his “art” took or takes place outside of the event. However animal murder is being promoted as a form of art, killing and humiliation is aestheticized.\u00a0It basically makes no difference, the degree of severe speciesism is the same, even with these forms of indirectness of the act. The exhibition promotes animal murder, so please keep up the protest<\/a> to stop the performance \/ video display from being part of this already gruesome\u00a0severely\u00a0speciesist exhibition.<\/p>\n

\u201eArtist\u201c Abdel Abdessemed plans to kill Animals at Centre Pompidou exhibition<\/p>\n

On 7. January 2013 the \u201cartist\u201d Abdel Abdessmed wants to publicly kill a cow, a calf, a goat, a pig, a sheep and a horse with a sledgehammer \u201clife on stage\u201d. This abhorrent \u201carts performance\u201d is scheduled to take place at the well known Centre Pompidou in Paris, France.<\/p>\n

The Text of the ongoing petition by Avaaz.org against this planned \u201cperformance\u201d:<\/p>\n

Abdel Abdessned holds an exhibit at the 7. of January 3012 at the Centre Pompidou. His programm is to kill a pig, a goat, a cow, a calf and a horse there with a sledgehammer.<\/p>\n

He want to tie the animals to a wall and then start hitting them with a hammer. This will be accompanied by a sound installation and some \u201cartistic impetus\u201d.<\/p>\n

We must prevent this horrid \u201cperformance\u201d from happening! This can\u2019t be tolerated under the name of \u201cart\u201d, neither as far as the artistic side is concerned nor that of an \u201carts interested\u201d audience.<\/p>\n

Murdering nonhuman animals isn\u2019t art. It\u2019s inhumane to support such a project or to allow it to take place. Such an \u201cexhibition\u201d is completely unbearable from an animal welfare and animal rights point of view.<\/p>\n

We ask you to sign our petition to prevent this \u201cperformance\u201d at the Centre Pompidou from happening.<\/p>\n

PETITION LINK > CLICK HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Germany animal protection law prohibits hurting and killing a nonhuman animal for the purpose of display, such as for an arts exhibition. We need a law covering this huge problem for the EU member states urgently:<\/p>\n

\u201cTierschutzgesetz, \u00a7 3 Absatz 6<\/a><\/strong>: Es ist verboten, ein Tier zu einer Filmaufnahme, Schaustellung, Werbung oder \u00e4hnlichen Veranstaltung heranzuziehen, sofern damit Schmerzen, Leiden oder Sch\u00e4den f\u00fcr das Tier verbunden sind.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
