"Artist" starves a dog to death - art??

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 9:47 AM
Maybe you have heard of this....I have just found out from a friend.........
An "artist" from Costa Rica - Guillermo Habacuc Vargas - as an installation piece took a dog from the street and caused it to suffer and starve to death in a gallery in the name of Art.
He won first prize at the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2007 and has been invited to enter a similar 'installation' in the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 in November.
If you need to see the photos they can be found at
[link]
You will need to scroll through the whole page.
There is a petition at
[link]
to stop this so called artist from entering the Bienal to repeat his sick act.
I do urge you to sign...........
