How do you define art?

This reminds me of the Chinese artist Zhu Yu who allegedly ate a stillborn baby. He was reported to have permission from the mother to use the foetus as part of a piece of art. The end reslt provoked outrage and a police investigation. He was the subject of a channel 4 documentary which debated the merits of this work as art.

A quick google turns up some images but they are pretty ghastly. Be warned.

I'd seen that programme, and it made me look into the history of Chinese infanticide and cannibalism...horrid story...

amazing that some Chinese provinces have a saying, something on the lines of "I am so hungry, I could eat your child" (whereas in the past...it was true!)

So, the "shock" art that the Chinese had produced about cannibalism & babies...is actually quite relevant to their history. Shocking, indeed, but not all art is (or should be) a bowl of fruit.

As for the dog thing...that's just fucking horrible. I think we all agree. (unless it's some piss poor elaborate hoax (....instigated by the Sun or some such toilet paper)) ho ho
