CAPITOL'S SKINNY PUPPY ARRESTED IN AN
|
||
|
|
ALLEGED VIVISECTION MISHAP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nettwerk/Capitol Records artists SKINNY PUPPY were arrested Sunday, October
|
||
|
|
23, following their show in Cincinnati, Ohio. Arrested for disorderly
|
||
|
|
conduct following a misunderstanding about a portion of their live
|
||
|
|
performance intended to protest animal vivisection, the band had to spend
|
||
|
|
the night in jail but were released the following day.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently on the Head Trauma Tour in support of their recently released LP
|
||
|
|
VIVIsectVI, SKINNY PUPPY simulates an "operation" on a toy stuffed animal
|
||
|
|
named "Chud" as part of the show, graphically symbolizing the horrors of
|
||
|
|
vivisection research. Apparently an audience member mistook "Chud" for a
|
||
|
|
real dog and called the police.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Without identifying themselves, two plain-clothed police officers entered
|
||
|
|
their dressing room after the show demanding to see the dog. Words were
|
||
|
|
exchanged between SKINNY PUPPY and the officers. As a result, bandmembers
|
||
|
|
Ogre, Cevin Key, and the tour manager Dan McGee were arrested for
|
||
|
|
disorderly conduct. They were released after their night in jail and fined
|
||
|
|
$200.00.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bandmember Ogre issued a statement about the incident, "I find it
|
||
|
|
paradoxical that the police can justify arresting us on the assumption that
|
||
|
|
we mutilate and experiment on live animals for a theatrical performance
|
||
|
|
when the inhuman reality is that it occurs in over 300 laboratories a day."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SKINNY PUPPY has long been outspoken about protesting the use of animals
|
||
|
|
for research and, in fact, chose their name to emphasize their feelings
|
||
|
|
about the issue.
