αντίδραση της PSPCA και της PETA 

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has nevertheless decried the deaths of the butterflies.

Butterflies are beautiful parts of nature and should be enjoyed in the wild instead of destroyed for something predictable and unimaginative.” -PETA representative.

“It is very sad to hear of the death of so many butterflies. Butterfly Conservation is concerned that this work represents a throwaway approach to living creatures and encourages a lack of respect for the environment.” -Dr. Martin Warren, chief executive of Butterfly Conservation.
