Petition Online - Art or Murder

[Lipinhu]

Hi all

This is a way too much offtopic for a car enthusiast forum, but i need to spread the word.
I´ve heard in the news last week, and today I recieved an email that told that was a Petition online goin on about this, so, the story is:

An artist from Costa Rica, Guillermo Habacuc Vargas, exposed a sick and unshelter dog in a art galery. Hapens that no one feed him or gave him water. The dog died on propose in front of everyone.
Guillermo Habacuc Vargas was the chosen artist to represent Costa Rica at the Biennial CentralAmerican Honduras 2008.

The petition is in order to avoid this artist to present any of his work at this Biennial.

The dog while alive

Seen those pics? Even more overwhelming the thing is. In the other end of the room there was writen in the wall with dog food something like: "Is this what you want?" in spanish.

Burn in hell!

Inhuman!

*edit*, can someone translate the petition text?

I absolutely don't agree with what the artist did, but my first thought was that apparently no-one prevented the dog from dying.
literally: is this what you want?

THE STUPID SICK MUHTERF*CKER , HOW WOULD HE LIKE TO HANG ON AN ELECTRIC WIRE AND DIE WITHOUT WATER OR FOOD !!!!!!!!!!
HE IS SICK, DUMB, .....
THEY SHOULD TROW HIM INTO OUR STREETS HERE AND BE SHOT BYE EVERY PASSNGER THAT COMES BY
TORETURE HIM !!!!!!!!!!!

sorry bout the caps it makes me angry seeîng people that think they have the power to molest and kill an indefense animal

What a cock!
If he had wanted to make a statement he could have used a dog that was already dead instead of killing another one!
I don't think its art, just some wanker trying to get his named out there.
Does anyone think that those people drinking all around that dog even give a fuck? I doubt it.
So if no one notices then whats the point?
If he used a dead dog people would notice cos it would be stinky and full of flies.
This is just ART WANK!

Apparently a lot of people noticed it now.

The artist did what it meant to do:

Create awareness of the abbandoned animals issue

Shame a dog had to die for this, but as we can see, it was just "a way" to expose the problem to as many people as possible...

That's my oppinion...

"Modern art".

Modern?

It wouldnt surprises me if it was 5 centurys back!
