Reminds me of the performance artist Chris Burden who in 1971 had a friend shoot him in the arm with a .22 rifle. But at least he had the guts to have himself shot vs. a dog.
In Docklands, Melbourne, there's a public sculpture that any normal child would think is a fun thing to climb (https://markstoner.com.au/projects/the-river-runs-through-it...). Naturally there are signs instructing parents to prevent their children from climbing the "sculptures"!
