@resl It looks like an interesting project, albeit I cannot approve the use of tigers in one of their actions (https://politicalbeauty.com/eatingrefugees.html)
@unanimale Yes, never a lack of opportunities to critique people for something which could have been done more wisely in one way or another.
Instead of exploiting the tigers, it could've been as shocking to advertise a refugee willing to play Russian Roullette in front of spectators for a chance at justice.
It might have been intentionally disturbing: The "tigers had 120m square of space, [equal] to the space which 80 refugees might share in one container terminal." https://thewire.in/46475/why-one-woman-plans-to-walk-into-a-cage-of-tigers-in-the-middle-of-berlin/ 😔
@resl my problem is not with the value of the action, but with the exploitation of non human animals.
I do understand and appreciate the intention of the protest.
@unanimale Yeah, I sensed that was your point. Just wanted to share a bit of what I found when looking more closely at that particular piece. I'm with you in wanting a world without human exploitation of non-human animals. It's sad to see people do that intentionally for any reason.
Perhaps you could forgive someone if you granted that, to them, the decision was that of either abusing someone close to them or someone further away from them, and if undecided, would result in abuse to both, say.
@resl I see your point now. Thanks for the kind explanation! 😊
@unanimale
OK, that is amazing. Thanks for yours too ❤️
