How would you judge an artist who mutilated animals in a gallery because it was visually arresting?

Just how destructive does a culinary preference have to be before we decide to eat something else? If contributing to the suffering of billions of animals that live miserable lives and (quite often) die in horrific ways isn't motivating, what would be?

And if you are tempted to put off these questions of conscience, to say not now, then when?
