Can you believe this-amazing !!!
Name:Protest Starving Dog 'Artist' Guillermo Habacuc Vargas at Bienal HondurasCategory:Common Interest - Beliefs & CausesDescription:In 2007, artist Guillermo Vargas tied a starving, sick street dog to a rope in an art gallery and seemingly starved him to death while people looked on. He considered this his artistic masterpiece. Worse yet, he has been invited to do it again this year at the Bienal Honduras art exhibition!

The original exhibit lasted for several days, with visitors coldly watching on as the dog, who clearly needed medical attention, food, water and love-- withered away. The dog eventually died, widely assumed to be because of starvation (the gallery disputes this, claiming the dog was killed by other dogs!).

But this is not all – the Arts Biennial of Central America (in Honduras) has invited Vargas to repeat this cruelty in 2008 in his exhibition at the biennial.

If you are like us and think that this is cruelty parading as art, join us in stopping him! You can learn more, see videos of the cruelty, and go to the petition page from here (and please add your own information and thoughts for others):
