Guillermo Vargas Habacuc starved this poor dog to DEATH as a form of

Stop the Cruel Treatment of Animals for the sake of "Art"

Target:
Visual Arts Biennial of Central America
Sponsored by: 
Watching an animal starve to death is NOT art by any means. I am writing this petition to stop any future artists from thinking that this treatment of animals is ok, but sending it to the Visual Arts Biennial because they had specifically asked Guillermo Vargas Habacuc to repeat his 'masterpiece.'

We the undersigned are petitioning you to consider in the future the true meaning of the word 'art' and why it should not be held more important than a poor animal's feelings and body. Guillermo Vargas Habacuc exhibit was inhumane, cruel, and heartless. I am sure that you would not like this stereotype to affect your establishment or blemish its record. The World is looking in and has taken notice.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Is it also "Art" showing an abortion in public nowadays...how a pedofile does his dirty job.... What do we adults become? Do we have lost all our dignity and compassion, are we nothing more than monsters?

I STUDIED ART AND THIS IS NOT ART. THIS IS A MANIAC'S WAY OF TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER USING ART AS A VEHICLE. GOD, WHAT A SHAME. ITS DISGUSTING. I WILL NEVER SUPPORT THIS PERSON OR ANYONE ASSOCIATED TO HIM. ITS A NIGHTMARE.

This hurts my heart. I cannot beleive people watched this and did nothing. I am sure if the "art" project included a human, something would have been done.

I read about this earlier, and it disgusts me to know that everyone who saw this poor dog starving to death did nothing... I dont understand how people can be so cruel.
