Pigs can expect to be branded, but one farm has turned the process into an art form, decorating them from head to toe with tattoos, the Daily Mail reports.

Crowds are flocking to Art Farm China in Yangzhen, Beijing, where Belgian artist Wim Delvoye displays his colorful sows and boars. One super-trendy porker even features a Louis Vuitton logo -- which presumably quickens the process on the handbag production line. Others sport tattoos inspired by patterns found on Russian prison inmates.

Animal rights activists complain that the pigs are suffering unnecessarily and are being abused for improper commercial gain. They also strongly object to a controversial "adopt a pig" scheme that allows sponsors to have an animal stuffed, get a tattooed hide to hang on a wall, or even have it stretched over canvas. （点击《每日邮报》查看原文）

北京一家艺术农场给猪纹身

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，北京一家艺术农场给一群猪从头到脚纹身，然后将其作为品牌出售。

       大量人群慕名涌入北京顺义区杨镇的一家艺术农场去参观比利时艺术家威姆·德沃伊的作品——满身五颜六色的纹身公猪、母猪们。还有超级时髦的小猪，身上竟然纹有路易·威登的设计图案，这也许可以缩短手袋生产线。还有一些运动纹身图案的灵感竟来自于俄罗斯监狱中的犯人。

       然而，动物权利保护的志愿者们抗议，艺术家给猪纹身是为了不正当的商业牟利，在此过程中猪受到了本不该遭受的虐待；同时他们也强烈抗议所谓的“猪认养计划”，即赞助商出钱养猪，然后得到纹身的猪皮用作壁挂，或者把猪皮撑在帆布上面。
