A viral video showing an individual casting a fire ant colony with molten aluminum stirred controversy on the Internet this week.
The video, originally uploaded in November, but only gained widespread attention on Dec. 9, shows an individual pour molten aluminum down an ant hill.
The result? An aluminum casting of the ant colony weighing nearly 18 pounds.
But, the artist seems to have come under fire from critics who argue the process is barbaric.
I disabled comments because Im sick of your bickering, the individual wrote in the videos YouTube description. Also, I couldnt get YouTube to stop sending me an email every time someone posted What if I poured aluminum in your house for the 100th time.
At the time of publication, the video had just over 3 million views

If you live in fire ant country, you gotta try this at home ;-)
If not, the PC nonsense might be entertaining...
Sounds like the complainees are the same ones that protect rats.
THEY ARE ANTS......sheesh. Fire ants kill people all the time. Mainly Young children but adults who have a reaction to the bite.
These tree huggers are really insane. Well and truly nuts.
I can’t believe people are complaining about the impact to fire ants.
I wonder if a single one of those complaints came from anyone with any personal experience with the non-native invasive species, fire ants?
Much more creative than using gasoline and a match.
well you know, ants to have a “hive mentality” and just blindly follow orders and the rear-end of the ant ahead of them, so I can understand how liberals would feel some empathy
He is selling it on Ebay. Current price $4,550..wow
How is this worse than nuking them with insecticide?
If the libs are so outraged then why don’t they adopt a shelter ant ?
Death to ants! Make them suffer!
I see nothing wrong with that video.Besides that that ant hill looked like a fireant mound and I couldn’t think of a better way to totally eliminate that threat.
Fireants are dangerous.
Back at the farm, I would just drink a four pack of G Stout, and pee on the anthill. They were always gone the next morning. No “Art” involved though.
Now this guy is going to have to travel throughout the universe to atone for this act.
Anyone who has been on the receiving end of Fire Ant love (me) will have no problem with this. Kill ‘em all and let Peta sort ‘em out.
I guess this would be OK if he poured a bottle of insecticide down the hole to nerve gas the little bastards before he poured the aluminum down the hole.
