- 11 years ago
A college instructor is fired following a slaughtered chicken art exhibit.
How do you like the idea of using chickens in artwork?
Recently, a professor at the Alberta College of Art and Design was fired from his job, following a risky exhibit in the school cafeteria.
Serving as a sculpture project, one of Gordon Ferguson’s students slaughtered a chicken and placed into a cooking pot in front of a group of college aged onlookers. Not all of the viewers considered
the performance artistic and police were called to the scene. Although no charges will be brought against the instructor or the student, Ferguson did lose his job.
Late last year, an anatomy teacher, Carlo Rando in Milan was sentenced to eight months in jail for killing two rabbits in his classroom for dissection purposes. According to a report by an animal rights group in Italy, Rando "first tried to strangle them, then repeatedly punched the animals, and then after prolonged violence, smashed the rabbits' heads with a hammer - all in front of a room full of children".
