Armstrong's Butterfly bike

[MartianDestiny]

I hadn't actually been keeping up with the bike painting honestly, but cool.

I don't see what the controversy is (other than PETA loves controversy and is completely off it's rocker). The butterflies are dead, likely dead of natural causes (the things don't live that long so it's not that hard to "farm" them and still allow them to live full natural lives), so what's the big deal? Now if it was known that he was killing the butterflies or worse, pulling the wings off live butterflies that would be different, but I didn't see any mention of either case in the articles.

I think his shark is awesome too (assuming, again that the shark wasn't killed for this purpose). Would "we" (collective we) be offended if the shark was an exhibit in a Natural History Museum instead of "art"?
