This is 'Art'
And by "art" he means starving a dog to death in a gallery.

"Guillermo Habacuc Vargas had 2 children catch this dog. He paid the kids for this. He then chained the dog and used the dog as “art”. He told everyone not to feed this dog. The dog died in the gallery."

the rest of the article is here:

I know there's a lot of ways on how to express one's self via art like Performance Art or whatever (somtimes I don't really understand them at all) but when another thing suffers because of it... it really makes me angry. I mean I feel sorry for the dog o_o it didn't have the right to die like that.

Got word of the petition via [info]senashenta

This is really very disappointing. I know artists have the right to "go crazy" with their chosen mediums but this is definitely too much. Using a life to create a "masterpiece"? Even if it's an animal and not a human being, I still think it's wrong.

That artist should be used for another artist's masterpiece, then... maybe then he'll know how it feels like for the poor dog. +_o'
