And They Blame Video Games
=================================
Cathy GordonMarsh, a Toronto artist who is urging a boycott of the Arts System gallery, said a video showing a cat being tortured can't be art.
This cat, whose name and owner are unknown, was killed on video.
The directors of an avant-garde gallery in Toronto have come under fire for their refusal to denounce two artists accused of the torture killing of a cat.
Jesse Power, a 21-year-old Ontario College of Art & Design student, and Anthony Ryan Wennekers, 24, were charged on May 30 with cruelty to animals and mischief. A third man remains at large.
Toronto Police Detective Gordon Scott said the 17-minute videotape is the most difficult thing he has ever watched.
"After a couple of minutes, I was actually rooting for the cat to die to avoid the cruelties being inflicted upon it," he said.
Mr. Brown and Mr. Borins have made it clear they do not condone acts of cruelty to animals. Mr. Brown, a vegetarian who owns two cats, said he finds the idea of killing cats "simply horrible."
"I don't support the killing of animals for food or art," he said.
"But whether it is art is not for us to answer."
