Guys.... this came up on the K9 community forum. I'm hoping it's spam, but sadly, am not at all sure...

Last year a Costa Rican artist did this to a street dog.

In 2007, Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, a so called artist, took an abandoned dog from the streets, tied him to a very short rope to a wall in an art gallery and left him there to slowly die of hunger and thrist.

During several days, the author of such cruelty and the visitors of the gallery of art watched the agony of this animal. Until the dog finally died of famine, surely after a painful, absurd and incomprehensible torture.

Sickening?
Well that's not all: the prestigious Centralamerican Biennial of Art decided, incomprehensibly, that this horrible act commited by this guy was art, and Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel actions in said biennial on 2008.

If you go to this website there is a petition to try to stop this from happening again. Also links to the previous 'art work'.

Sadly this IS real!!!
I signed petitions to try to get this guy prosecuted for cruelty ... no luck yet .... but hopefully we can get his next exhibition stopped, and the very idea that he is PRAISED and up for an award ????? for this is just abhorrent!
 
I believe it' real... I din't undertand why he is not prosecuted

Poor wee dog, isnt it a shame we now see suffering not worth ending but worth prolonging in the search of fame and 'art'. Is not art to watcha dog die, it is insufferable animal cruelty. Why dont we go find a starving child and watch that die?
