So it has been just a few days and i have done some online reading with regards to the testing that happens on beagles throughout the UK and abit throught the USA. I want to concentrate on the UK as it is home. I found however that while researching that this mutaney against beagles is alot closer to home that what i have previously anticpated.To be quite accurate i found an ariticle through my online university catalogued library that stated about a massive fine that had been given upon a firm that where trying to ship beagle puppies from Harwich. (they bred the puppies specifically for testing purposes abroad). There was 100 of them and unfortunately due the carelessness of these vile human beings, 79 of these innocent beagles died!!!!!
I didn’t anticipate how deep this could go and i thought i could handle the information i find but it turns out that it is quite upsetting and makes me feel some anger inside. How could we be so cruel to mans best friend who has stuck with us for centuries. How can we be so cruel to animals in general. We need them in some many ways emotionally and for companionship………….
I think i have lost my train of thought there. I am most passionate about this subject and it has given me ideas of how to perform and record for a or many videos to show my representaion and passion for how this is wrong to hurt and betray the trust of such a loving hound.
On a different note i have created a few different pieces of textile based works that are purely experimental so i can see what i can do with the materials i have at hand. I am planning however to do some more focused pieces such as a beagle sculpture that will be not of the norm. I will load pictures soon of some pieces completed and in progress.
