Skins of pigs tattooed with designer logos & other characters being sold for up to £55,000 a piece

Check out pictures of pigs tattooed with Disney characters, patterns found on Russian prison inmates and the Louis Vuitton logo. They were done and sold by artist, Wim Delvoye who began tattooing live pigs in 1997. The tattoos were done by Wim & other artists while each pig was under anesthetic.  They are now being sold for up £55,000 a piece.  See more photos after the cut...

This is purely animal abuse because this animals did not make the choice to have tattoo on their skin. This guy should be arrested and prosecuted including those who are willing to pay £55,000 to buy the pig.
