Tattooed Pigs
Tattooed Pigs
Wim Delvoye, a Belgian artist, has inked nine pigs with different tattoo on their bodies in his Beijing Art Farm and it is a BioArt. Each tattooed pig can be sold for around one million RMB. The artist said this is art and the tattoo let those pigs become unique and have a higher value then being eaten. Even after they were died, their tattooed skin can be preserved. Moreover, the other reason is they do this because of aesthetic. Also,
nowadays, many ethnic groups think tattoo can prevent disasters or they can be the identity of members.
Those pigs need be tattoo every two weeks to ensure the colour in their skin remains and it means that they need to be in pain every two weeks. After that, they can still feel the pain but they can’t express their pain and fear to human. The fact is cruel that the human is hunting the pig as they can’t get the permission from the pigs or knowing their willing. The human is making a huge profit by hunting some animals that they don’t have
the ability to fight back.
