This Is Not Art.
The dog you are looking at was taken off the street, tied to a rope inside an art gallery, and intentionally starved to death as part of a visual arts exhibition to show the dog’s agony.
This is not a joke.
The man behind the exhibit Guillermo Vargas Habacuc considers himself an artist, but this is not art. This is nothing more than pure sadistic intolerable cruelty to a defenseless animal.
At first, I couldn’t figure out which appalled me more, the fact that someone would torture a dog until it died or that hundreds of people attended the art exhibit and accepted the dog’s fate simply because it was in the name of art? And then I came to the following conclusion:
Like it or not killing is an inevitable and unavoidable part of our species but the extent to which it occurs is dependant on the complacent people who sit by and let it happen.
The attendees of the art exhibit accepted the dog’s fate because they were told that it was in the name of art. So nobody untied the dog, tried to feed the dog, or aided the dog in anyway. They simply let the dog die.
The “Artist” Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, is about to do another show featuring a new dog, to stop him please click on the picture of the dog, and sign the online petition.

Disgusting. This needs to be stopped.
Something presented in this fashion requires some thought and research by the observer simply because there is so little uncorroberated evidence as to the validity of what we are looking at. As the dog would no doubt ruthlessly predate a smaller animal even its own kind to live. Humans also predate many animals on an industrial scale and not just for food. However you can all feel ok about this as humans too are predated upon by their own kind and by others for many reasons and on an intense industrial scale. Well perhaps we should not feel ok as two wrongs do not a right make.
