| Subject: Lunatic leftist animal rights activists: "Kill the animal killers" -- and all over a cat helicopter Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:13 am | |
| Dutch artist Bart Jansen is under attack after images of his flying helicopter cat went viral on the internet this week.
Jansen created the bizarre cat helicopter after his pet Orville was killed by a car.
According to reports, Jansen kept Orville's body in a freezer for about six months, before taking him to a taxidermist and attaching a plastic propeller to each of his four paws. Then he put a remote control engine inside the stomach of the cat, and after a few false starts, the "Orvillecopter" achieved lift-off. Advertisement: Story continues below
"Now he is flying with the birds," Jansen wrote in a description of a YouTube video showing the cat-copter's first flight. "The greatest goal a cat could ever reach!"
The artist debuted the unusual work at the KunstRai ArtFair in Amsterdam over the past weekend.
While images and video of the Orvillecopter have gone bonkers on the internet, not everyone is laughing.
