Austin, Texas - August 24, 2023 - Artists & Activists for Animal Rights is thrilled to announce the inclusion of a remarkable artwork titled "Smarter Than Your Dog" by the accomplished artist Michelle Waters. This captivating creation, rendered in acrylic on a cradled wood panel, serves as a powerful testament to the profound connection between art, activism, and the welfare of animals. "Smarter Than Your Dog" speaks of the intelligence of pigs and prompts contemplation on society's divergent treatment of animals. In acrylic on cradled wood panel, the artwork beckons its audience into a reflective space where conventional distinctions between human-animal cognition meld, evoking a thought-provoking meditation on the stark contrast in our treatment of animals—cherishing and honoring some while subjecting others to maltreatment and consumption.
