The hypocrisy to which I was referring was that of animal rights activists getting upset about the killing of a goldfish, not the actual killing being art, or not. Calling it art isn't hypocrisy, but a display of poor taste. I don't think anything that displays/glorifies the harm or death of something living can be considered art, but that's just my opinion. :0)
