Pigs are Tattooed at the Art Farm E-mail
User Rating: / 9
PoorBest 

Wim Delvoye has been tattooing pigs since the 1990s. In the early 21st century a tattooed pigs project was set up in the Art Farm in China, where there are fewer strictures regarding animal welfare than in most parts of the Western world. In 2005 his colleague, artist Danny Devos, spent several months at the farm, reorganizing, managing and rebuilding. He is a vegetarian.

Surrounded by winding dirt roads, Wim’s Wonderland is not easily found, and a guide is required to reach the main entrance. Within a narrow passageway, protected by two marble statues of pigs, there are four-meter high gates with a triumphant Art Farm logo in red and gold. As you cross the threshold of the property, an entourage of onlookers lead you into the courtyard, where a patch of grass holds the main attraction of this theme park, the stars of Wim's Art Farm: tattooed pigs.

For those readers who are interested in observing the pigs first hand, the wait won’t be long. If Delvoye can find investors and a suitable location, a museum space and restaurant could be developed very soon. Delvoye hopes that in the future, any visitor to China could have the pleasure of watching his live "biological paintings."

yay! Decorated bacon!
By the way, how is it that you people complain about a
tattooed pig even though most of the meat we eat is from animals treated far
worse? Seriously. They're pigs. They're made of pork. I say do whatever you want
to them, as long as it doesn't spoil their deli...
Baconator  - WTF!   |69.151.71.xxx |2008-07-22 20:27:16
Stupid tree hugging, vegan, PETA fucktards! Have you seen how thick a pigs skin
is? Almost 3/4 of an inch! They never feel a bit of this. Now, go fuck your
mothers.
Anonymous   |24.196.25.xxx |2008-07-23 03:17:12
poor piggys i like the first one tho
Isabella   |87.202.60.xxx |2008-07-23 12:24:32


This is NOT ART - This is disturbed chinese
crap!!!!
Poor animals - but what would you expect from a nation who eats
anything, skins anything and tortures anything that lives and feels!
Miss Pissy   |69.243.182.xxx |2008-07-23 22:49:46
Seriously, you sad sack retard people. "poor pigs." Go protest something
useful. These pigs LOOK distressed, don't they? I can tell. They're in SOOO much
pain. You fu**ing idiots. They didn't feel a damn thing. AND they're getting
better treatment than most any pig that liv...
nothing   |74.192.56.xxx |2008-08-10 02:50:14
Im sure half the people here HAVE tattoos...
xXPhsycoXx   |71.229.123.xxx |2008-07-27 07:45:25
Aww. Poor Pigs but I guess it might not hurt them
Jocelyn  - Animal cruelty   |59.101.178.xxx |2008-07-29 13:02:58
Animal cruelty, Yes. If its Art put it on paper, wood or something that some one
is not going to slaughter later. As you were talking about a restaurant. China
is well know for animal cruelty. There is no stopping what they can get away
with. You said you were or he was a vegetaria...
Anonymous   |75.7.218.xxx |2008-11-25 16:26:22
omg the pigs cant even feel it!!! pigs can barely feel
anything...they have REALLY thick skin...look it up!!
bitch123456  - pigs are tattooed at the art farm   |68.127.164.xxx |2008-07-31 08:56:22
That is horrible! poor piggies
Emma   |84.70.119.xxx |2008-08-05 04:53:48
They wouldn't even feel this, plus people get tattoo's done all the time,
and you don't go around saying 'aww' to them! And their skin is a lot
thicker than ours...
Jane   |220.236.82.xxx |2008-08-17 04:23:38
Ok - the pigs are sedated before they are tattooed. If these pigs weren't on the
art farm they'd be slaughted for their meat -- in reality they are lucky. Did
anyone even bother to do a quick google search and determine what actually
happened? Sheez.

EVERYONE WHO SAID THIS IS CRUEL NEEDS TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES!
FUCK ALL OF
YOU!
Cyndiana   |12.5.101.xxx |2008-09-11 09:04:18
I'm a die-hard animal lover, and oddly I find the tattooing...beautiful. I see
tattooing as a showing of appreciation of the body, similar to decorating your
home. Who would kill or eat a pig who bears such gorgeous artwork? It's sort
of a new millennium Charlotte's Web-ian twist.
Emilie are unique   |212.219.68.xxx |2008-10-03 15:59:35
It would obviously hurt .. there probably put to sleep or something, i bet you
don't say aww about people who wear animals.. thats art too!
Kristy  - you sre sick!!!!!   |71.208.103.xxx |2008-11-22 16:53:36
This has to be one of the sickest things I have ever heard!!! If you have such
great talent Delvoye then why don't you tattoo people?!!??! Pretty sad you have
to hurt innocent pigs for your pleasure. You are sick and I hope you rot in
hell!!!! I hope you get no where in life!
Jenny   |76.5.170.xxx |2008-11-25 13:46:38
Seems to me that if you "this isn't cruel" people actually had a decent
argument you wouldn't all be resorting to saying "fuck you" to people
you don't even know. Can you make an argument that doesn't involve showing your
ignorance by freely spouting profanity like ...
Tiffany  - uh   |76.29.194.xxx |2008-11-27 22:38:24
obviously they don't put them to sleep! That's what can kill them you idiots.
and pig skin is tough it doesn't hurt them they're fine
poop  - woah!   |163.150.53.xxx |2009-02-13 21:53:04
lol i didn't even know they did that to pigs but it's pretty cool.and good point
obviously it don't hurt em, imagine if it did how hard it wud be to get them to
sit still and get them that good?!!
