How is this art?

How could someone do this? Will you sign the petition? Please dont let this happen again!





In 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas "Habacuc", took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death





For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died





This is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008





PLEASE HELP STOP HIM





It takes a second to help put a stop to animal abuse!





Sign the petition, today;

My question is what makes this art and not animal abuse?

How is this art?
I signed the petition yesterday in response to the question "do you love your dog?" I have no Idea how animal rights hasn't jumped all over this. And I read the "artist"s statement about how he was starving anyway, but that' bull because at least he would have been able to find some scraps and water on the streets. This guy is a sicko and gives artists a bad name. THIS IS NOT ART!
Reply:Well, I think someone said, in one of the stories about this heinous act, was that the dog was starving on the street and this way he starved inside a building with air conditioning, or something like that. Still is shameful for people to stand by and let him starve. I think starving on the street would not be as bad as this.
Reply:Don't make wild, visceral assumptions without trying to look at the entire story first.





Luckily, the good people at snopes.com recognize and demonstrate every day that what seems to be the truth isn't so clear cut after all.
