Artistic Pigs Tattooed In China


Motorcycle gangs aren’t the only pigs with tattoos.
Crowds are flocking to Art Farm China in Yang Zhen, Beijing, where a Belgian artist displays his colourful sows and boars.
The animals are still on display to farm visitors while they are anaesthetised and decorated with designs by Wim and his co-artists.
One super-trendy porker even features a Louis Vuitton logo – which presumably quickens the process on the handbag production line.
Others sport tattoos inspired by patterns found on Russian prison inmates.
But animal rights campaigners complain that the pigs are suffering unnecessarily and are being abused for improper commercial gain.
We don’t see what the big deal is – the pigs are just trying to express their individuality.
