Cruelty to animals an art? It's disgusting...
« on: March 18, 2008, 04:14:22 pm »
I read this somewhere, the text is from a Dutch magazine on animals and pets (Hart voor Dieren). I translated it.

A so-called artist from Costa Rica recently let a dog die from starvation and dehydration in public, and called this 'art'. The dog died during the exhibition. The 'artist' prevented people from feeding the dog or give it anything to drink. The monster invited children to chase after the dog and paid for the dirty work. Nobody stopped this thing from happening.
As if this thing happening once isn't enough, Honduras invited this man to repeat his 'work of art' with another poor creature at the 'Centroamericana Honduras 2008' exposition, representing Costa Rica. Of course it is important to make sure that this monster will not repeat that horrible act. So we ask from everyone who reads this to sign the petition posted below. It only takes half a minute of your time and maybe together we can prevent this torture from happening again.


You can sign the petion here: Boicot a la presencia de Guillermo Habacuc Vargas en la Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 Petition

Thank you.
2 cats, 6 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, lots of mice, 1 syrian hamster, 1 chinchilla, a lot of fun!
