|description_of_content=Eight pigs tattooed with Louis Vuitton monogram logo were presented as art to the Shanghai Art Fair.
|description_of_incident=Wim Delvoye, a 43-year-old Belgian conceptual artist, used eight live pigs as his canvas to sell at a Shanghai Art Fair. The artist tattooed the pigs at a young age and tracked their shifting changes to the ink as the aged. The organization felt using live animals both as a medium and as a sellable commodity was unethical, particularly because in a previous controversial art show Delvoye displayed only the skin of the pigs he had watched grow, then killing and stuffing them for the price of about £106,000.
