Update: Lifeforce Saves Sniffy - January 6, 1990
posted on January 7, 2010
On January 6th it was the 20th Anniversary of the Lifeforce rescue of a rat that an “artist” was going to crush to death.
Sniffy's Story
In 1990 Rick Gibson said that he would crush a rat named Sniffy in the name of art. Society must not condone promoting violence and cruelty in our society and to other sentient creatures. Killing animals is not art - it is sadistic. Speciesism is as abhorrent as racism and sexism. A speciesist has no ethical boundaries and does not draw any moral line between a bug or a bunny or a beagle and, for that matter, a human. Violence perpetuates violence. Violence towards animals also leads to violence towards people. Where will it end if society permits this? It is an indecency to animals and people.
On January 6th CBC Radio in Vancouver interviewed Rick Gibson and Lifeforce. During the interview Gibson admitted that he would have killed Sniffy if Lifeforce didn’t confiscate his equipment. His “rental” of the rat raised questions as to if was actually planning to kill Sniffy. Now his intentions are clear.
You can also see him state his horrible plan on the following video:
