Got this off WHA

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 the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died. Recently the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of Central America decided that the 'installation' was actually art, and Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.
Here are heartbreaking images of the dog as he lay dying, in plain view of this artist's admirers.
I like art just as much as the next guy, but not when it's price comes at the cost of sacrificing basic human decency. You can show your support against this by signing an online petition found here:
Boycott to the presence of Guillermo Vargas "Habacuc" at the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 Petition

Woot, congrats art! I want to stab the guy in the face. I can actually say i am so furious right now i feel like throwing up...and that has never happened before. Go go 3rd world countries. *rolls eyes*
Just something else to reinforce the over all idea i got from my "Art History" class i took here in college: Art is stupid, serves no purpose, and kills animals. Rather productive activity it seems.
