Contempt is a human vice: when grafted onto the image of an animal that animal is immediately contaminated and diminished. It is in the nature of man to diminish all other life-forms on this planet. The artist accepts his share of the responsibility, in this case by acknowledging that the anthropomorphic representation of animals is a symptom of the destructive process as a whole. Caricaturization is at the very least a form of disrespect, intended or not. The simplified image of Mickey Mouse has helped disrupt our concept of the living mouse, which is an animal as legitimate in the world as a horse (a creature generally diminished by other means) or a human being. Example: the painting, deliberately decorative in style, often provokes an initial response of pleasure. An animal's pain is overlooked even as it is petted and closely observed.
The painter spells it out in words:

The Animals' heads are retrieved from the trophy wall and pinned back onto their cloned and misshapen carcasses using, as pegs, the unnatural pills they have long been forced to consume (doctored foodstuffs, genetic tampering, experiment, the pill of humiliation...).The figures spin on Man's ingenious invention of torture and death; a spiked iron sausage-making machine in the form of a swastika, upon which he himself is now crucified. The device swallows up the remaining members of his own family as they greedily cling to the rag-doll off-spring of the parent animals, themselves now at the old masters helm.

The brutalization and destruction by mankind of all his fellow creatures great and small is an aspect of fascism which, contrary to that inflicted upon his own species, is widely ignored and goes almost completely unchallenged (i.e. passive fascism).
The rapid disintegration of the planet itself is a supreme example of the Fascism of Man. The phenomenon cannot be described merely as self-destruction, for man is not content to destroy only himself. If he believes in God he is attacking all God's earthly Creation, and thereby God Himself.
