Default Artist starves dog to death in the name of art!

PLEASE read the following and sign the petition.


In 2007, an 'artist' called Guillermo Vargas Habacuc caught a stray dog on the street, tied it up on a short leash to the wall of an art gallery and left it there to die slowly of hunger and thirst. Over the next few days, the artist himself and visitors to the gallery watched impassively as this happened. Now the prestigious Central American Biennial of Art has decided that this was art and has asked Vargas Habacuc to repeat his actions in the Biennial of 2008. If you don't believe it, Google the artist's name... Please sign the petition
Boicot a la presencia de Guillermo Habacuc Vargas en la Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 Petition

On the petition page, the four things it asks for are name, email, town and country. The rest is in English, I think.

I feel extremely disgusted about animal cruelty and I will certainly be signing up to it.

I HATE people who think they can torture or be harmful to animals just to satisfy their own selfish means. Its unacceptable! To think that the people higher up allows this sort of thing to go on is even worse than the people committing the act. Blood guilt for all those who feel it is ok to act this way.

Seriously disgusted and ashamed to be honest.

I had to force myself to look at this, and am doing everything in my power to push this petition.

Do you know that he may be doing the same thing again! Give me a gun and I would happily pull the trigger.

Absolutely disgusting. Disgraceful. What on earth possesses someone to behave like this I will never know. I certainly hope the concept of karma to be a true one.

BTW, thank you for posting this PetNanny and pushing this petition.

Default animal cruelty is not art

That is so sick and disgusting. the 'artist' should be strung up, not encouraged by people who should know better.

Fuzzy, the petition is highlighted. Just click on and register your details.

It broke my heart when I first saw these images, hence my post. I wanted to post this onto my facebook page, but don't know how to!
