TV & VIDEO - Feb. 20, 1987

A video of an avant garde art work showing animal carcasses being shot, stabbed and ripped apart by futuristic machines has shocked some viewers of a Scottsdale, Ariz., public access cable television station. “I do not kill or mutilate animals, and (the makers of the video) do not either,” said Kathy Riggs of AA Modern Media Productions, producer of the show “Bohemia Afterdark.” Some residents, members of the Scottsdale Cable Television Commission and animal-rights groups were outraged over “offensive” material being aired on the channel.
