“Artist” Starves Dog - Calls it Art

Please sign this international petition boycotting Costa Rican “artist” Guillermo Habacuc Vargas for tethering a dog in a gallery as an art exhibit, and refusing to allow the poor creature food or water while visitors, gallery owners and employees did nothing. Every person, who witnessed this inhumane treatment and did nothing to help the dog, should be punished.

Vargas, who found the dog on the street claimed it would have died anyway. Even if that were true (street dogs at least have a chance to raid garbage, receive handouts, and find water) it doesn’t justify deliberate cruelty. Vargas will die eventually, as will we all, so does that justify starving the “artist” (though I’m liking the idea)?

If you need to translate the petition, which is in Spanish, you can use the Babel Fish translator.
