This thread is a kind of spin-off from the ‘But is it art? (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=574133)’ link.

The link below is a link to a video about an elephant painting an elephant.

I’m wondering if we can shoot species that are producing art?

Hey, we can shoot eachother, so why get particular about what art-producing species we can shoot and which not?

since we can and do, does this mean I have permission to shoot Tracey Emin?
It'll be a damn sight more satisfying than killing an elephant (and would get more support). At least an elephant produces something worthy, even if it is just 100lb of dung a day.

I only shoot humans that are not producing art.

In no time at all it will be cutting Damien Hirst in two and preserving him in formaldehyde.
