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.
