A poachers/end users set would be really interesting especially with artwork - gory artwork of bushmeat markets and rhinos getting their horns sawm off - like Civil War News or Horrors of War. But it would probably be deemed racist considering most of the poachers of the most endangered / exinct are African. Quotes from people like Dian Fossey certainly wouldnt help matters. Would have made a great set in the 1930s though.

I don't think collectors would like gory artwork of dead animals, no matter how you frame it. Don't you know that you can rack up the body count of people in any movie, but once the pet gets it, the audience goes crazy.

Personally I've never gotten over Mad Max's little dog. Wink

I'm with you Raven. Old Yeller and Turner & Hooch put me off watching Marley & Me forever! But if you really want some gut-wrenching try the Aussie tear jerker Red Dog (get out the roll of paper towel, tissues just won't cope)

That's because for most people, pets = unconditional love. Seeing a pet get brutally tortured and killed onscreen is a sadistic display of violence against an innocent. Yeah, it may be part of the story line but it still makes most people sick to their stomachs.

As for "artwork" depicting mutilated animals - please don't. I mean, c'mon. Confused

The purpose WOULD be to shock, thats sometimes the only way to get people to change their behaviours. Much the same way THE DAY AFTER, THREADS and WHEN THE WIND BLOWS changed politicians views on nuclear war.

In any case its too late for most of the endangerd animals - the african and indonesian ones anyway, you really have to start changing attitudes like that on a generational level.
