I starved to death with an audience & it was called

Dog Tortured for 'Art'

Target:
Dr. Oscar Arias Sanchez: President of the Republic of Costa Rica
Sponsored by: 

A starving, sick street dog was as part of an exposition in Managua, Nicaragua, in August.  Guillermo Vargas Habacuc found the dog tied up on a street corner in a poor Nicaragua barrio. Guillermo Vargas Habacuc then paid children to catch the dog.  Guillermo Vargas Habacuc then brought it to the 'showing'. The dog was not given food or water and died the dog in a corner of the salon where it died the following day. 

Upload a Photo or Videodeath comes but no one cares
tied 2 wall 2 die
    
 
no food no water just the people watching

dying alone

As an artist and a person who cares deeply for animals I find this "exhibit" horrific, morally bankrupt and a pathetic attempt to garner attention via shock-value. This is not "art" it is animal cruelty.

There is more to this than meets the eye. One; the artist who performed this act of cruelty, and secondly; the people who are there yet ignoring the situation and the poor animal in need. As long as the public turns their back on this type of behavior or the abuse of both humans and animals, it will never stop, but only worsen as we become numb to violence and neglect.

An artist should be someone sensitive, not someone crual. This man is a shame to humanity. Please exclude this so-called artist from the Biennal Centroamerica 2008

this poor dog could have been saved. The exhibition would have been prettier with a happy looking dog.

I love art but I can't approuve that a life is used as an object.

The role of a gouvernement is to assure that every being of his territory is treated with respect and dignity according to the law. I can't understand that such a degrading use of this dog's life is permitted. This artist doesn't give a good image of your country, he's not worthy of representing Costa Rica at the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008.

à vomir. il a sérieusement besoin d'un soutient psychatric le gars pour avoir fait subir ça. si il a besoin d'extérioriser ses pulsions sadiques, qu'il aille donc se trouver un masochiste poru ça. le chien n'avait rien demandé, et encore moins de mourri dans de telle souffrance. votre art est à chier,Monsieur, jouer avec la vie n'est pas un art mais une maldie mentale. j'espère qu'en tant qu'artiste vous aller mourrir dans les memes souffrances en vous exposant comme votre propre oeuvre.

My signature doesn't mean I forget the humans who die under starvation

Animals are part of God's creation. As Saint Francisco de Assis tought us, we have to respect it.

Humans are a cruel and bizarre lot. This person is not an artist, but a person without heart or soul. We must change the culture that allows us to accept this kind of behavior.

do you think people enjoy to see any creature suffer and agonise, man or animal? it's not art, it's just sick: what a great publicity for your country to let know to the world you approve such inhumanity!
