THIS WILL TAKE A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME AND WILL SAVE A CREATURE – AND HOPEFULLY REMOVE THIS SO-CALLED 'ARTIST'!!!



Hi all,

this is a very serious matter...



In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death.

Does it look like art to you? I think not... just some-ones morbid fascination with death of poor animals..!

But this is not all ... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was is actually art,.... so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

WE NEED TO STOP HIM for good and NOW..!

For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died.

I guess pictures speak a million words.
Please sign the petition here to stop the cruelty!

And it's barely understandable.All i managed to filter out is the death of a dog.

Starving a dog to death is not an art. Pumping 12guage slug and watching its splattered brain on the wall maybe an art. :twisted::lol::twisted:
