ABSTRACT The process of making art, art itself, and the effects of art can be cruel to those who are, often unwillingly or by virtue of being unable to consent, a part of the process. Even though the thought of restricting, controlling, or censoring art is frowned upon, many would agree that cruelty ought to be avoided, condemned, and discouraged. To frame my discussion, I use the term “cruel art”. I define cruel art as any artistic endeavour (for example installation art, performance art, literary works, paintings, sculptures, etc.) that harms non-human animals physically or psychologically. In this article, I firstly examine the notion of cruelty. Thereafter I differentiate between three types of cruel art. I argue that cruel art ought to be avoided as a moral imperative.

残酷的艺术：艺术、动物和道德的交集

摘要 艺术创作的过程、艺术本身以及艺术的效果对于那些经常不情愿或由于无法同意而成为该过程一部分的人来说可能是残酷的。尽管限制、控制或审查艺术的想法不受欢迎，但许多人会同意应该避免、谴责和劝阻残忍。为了我的讨论，我使用了“残酷的艺术”这个词。我将残忍的艺术定义为任何在身体或心理上伤害非人类动物的艺术努力（例如装置艺术、行为艺术、文学作品、绘画、雕塑等）。在这篇文章中，我首先研究了残忍的概念。此后，我区分了三种残酷的艺术。我认为应该避免残忍的艺术作为一种道德要求。
