Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on various strategies of artists who use live animals in their works. The author presents several examples of works which, in many cases, raised a lot of controversies. His aim is not to judge, but to discuss different approaches, which have one thing in common: they all come from the tradition of conceptual or preconceptual art.
