Unhappy not a story for dog lovers

One of the "artists", chosen to represent Costa Rica at the "Biennale Centroamericana Honduras 2008", Guillermo Vargas Habakkuk, roped a dog to a wall of a gallery and made the death of the dog by starvation an art event.

English is a bit dodgy but you get the idea...

"the dog died the next day for lack of food. During the inauguration knew that the dog was chased in the afternoon between the houses of aluminum and cardboard for a district of Managua with the name of a saint who could not say that Habakkuk at the time. There were five children of those who helped in the capture, who received bonuses of 10 córdobas comfortable for your cooperation. During the exhibition some people called for the release of the puppy, so that the "artist" was refused. The name of the dog was Natividad, and he was left to die of starvation in the face of all, as if the death of a poor dog was a shameless media show in which nobody does nothing but applaud or look puzzled."


it's too late to save the dog, but please sign the petition to have him boycotted from appearing at the Biennale.

I'd be delighted if it was a hoax - but it's genuine - lots on Google

Sadly, other countries have different laws in respect to animals. Some cultures do not think of them as beings that can feel pain or even matter.

It boils my blood though. I work for an animal shelter and have heard a lot of crap, but that is one of the worst stories I've ever heard.

Well why don't we find this artist and nail him to a wall and watch him starve to death and call it "art" Some people in this world make me sick the way they treat dogs and other animals.
