Animal rights groups are furious at artist Damien Hirst, who is using the wings of thousands of butterflies for his new project. “The man who made his name sawing up cows, pickling sheep and suspending sharks in tanks of formaldehyde has been busy over the summer plucking the wings off thousands of tropical butterflies. Animal rights activists, who have previously taken a dim view of his stark meditations on life and death, are not amused.”
