PLEASE Sign Petition -Starving Dog considered ART
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.
in the course of several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of
the exhibition have
watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based
on the dog's agony,
until eventually he died.
But 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 to stop this ******* by going to
And the snopes link, which shows details not neccesarily 100% on this, but worth signing to me!

Re: PLEASE Sign Petition -Starving Dog considered ART
I found this on Wiki:
The Dog Exhibit Controversy
It is reported in blogs, Internet forums and YouTube uploads that in 2007 Guillermo Vargas allegedly took a stray dog called Natividad from the streets of Managua, Nicaragua, and tied it to a short leash as an exhibit in an art gallery.
It was initially reported that the dog was left to die with food just beyond its leashes length as patrons passed by in the gallery.
Many images have appeared on the Internet showing a thin, emaciated dog tied to a line in a room full of standing people. There are no indications in the photos of where or when or who took them.[2][3]
He refuses to say whether the dog survived the show but the director of the Códice Gallery is reported as saying that the animal was fed regularly and was only tied up for 3 hours on one day before it escaped.[4]
The Humane Society's investigation revealed that, although public perception that the animal had died was part of the artwork's intended effect, the dog was in fact given food and water and allowed to escape back into the street at the conclusion of the exhibit [5]
So it seems like it was somewhat of a scam.
I really hope it was.

Absolutely disgusting!!! Animals aren't meant to entertain us in that way, that's not art.
