Judge Orders Artist: Don’t Strangle Puppies To Protest Animal Cruelty

A German artist in Berlin has been ordered by a judge to avoid strangling two puppies to death during a life show at a Berlin theater in the Spandau district.

The show titled “Death as Metamorphosis,” was to take place next week and while on stage the article wanted to strangle the puppies to protest the plight of sled dogs in Alaska. You heard that right he wants to kill two innocent new born dogs in order to protest the killing of dogs.

The death of the dogs was to be accompanied by funeral march music and a giant gong. The artist would have used cable ties to strange the dogs after a short period of meditation.

Accompanied by funeral music and a gong, the artist was going to strangle two puppies with cable ties after a brief meditation.

Newspaper Express says the artist was trying to follow in the “traditional Thai art forms” with his live performance protest/

The Friday night performance was stopped by Berlin’s administrative court which noted that animal protect law forbids animals from being harmed in any way during a live show. For his part the artist argued that the countries constitution “unconditionally guarantees artistic freedom.”

Oddly enough this isn’t the first animal murder attempt by Berlin artists in the last week, Students Iman Rezai and Rouven Materne wanted to use a guillotine to decapitate a sheep on camera based on the results of an online vote. Berlin’s Tagesspiegel newspaper 190,000 “No” votes and 120,000 “Yes” votes were registered in just six days.

In the meantime perhaps German artists looking to kill poor defenseless animals should consider a noose around their own necks on stage. I would happily be willing to mail them the noose.
