A Unique Form of Animal "Art" Surfaces

Susan Jeiven has started a new form of unique art. She hosts a anthropomorphic taxidermy class where a class of about 20 students learn how to model dead mice as humans and create "artwork". One example of this art form is a mouse holding a tiny guitar, and in another the creator dressed up the mouse in tiny clothing and gave it a tiny New York Times to read. The students in this class are taught how to remove the mouse's internal organs and replace them with clay and wires to help model the mouse in a position. Then the "artists" are free to dress up their dead mice in a variety of miniature accessories that are provided by Jeiven. This art form was popular in England during the 19th century and a museum in Sussex features this type of art which features dioramas of mice cats and rabbits. A video tour of the museum can be found here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2012/02/would-you-buy-or-make-dead-mouse-art.html .

Personally I don't understand the sickos that participate in this art form, if doing this doesn't violate some form of animal rights law I think a law should be passed that does.
