Aaron (lollirazor) wrote the following post, and it sums up everything I wanted to say, but with much more grace, dignity, and charisma. Read on.

"It's not cruelty to animals, It's cruelty to the audience ...and that's a beautiful concept.

I think Himalayan rabbits are cute, but I also think Himalayan rabbit fur coats are cute as well.

I think cows are nice, but I think a 12 oz. sirloin steak medium rare is nice as well.

I am not saying it is wrong to be offended by those photos, but I am also saying it is not wrong to like those photos either.

I think all these people that are angered and that wish harm on Nathalia Edenmont should realize that apart from other messages I am sure she is trying to send through her work, her main objective was to get some kind of reaction from the people who view her photos. That is any artists objective, to convey some sort of message though their art and to get some kind of reaction in return. To those who are deeply offended enough to incessantly bash her are, in a sense, just giving her what she wants. It is much like the schoolyard bully, the more of a reaction he gets, the more fueled he is to bother you in hte future.

But fuck it, whatever. Cats suck anyways.
