Some jumped up little twerp in central america is being asked to repeat his 'installation' piece of tying an emaciated stray dog up in an art gallery and leaving it to starve to death.

This blog explains all (some pictures here though): http://guillermohabacucvargas.blogspot.com/

This link is I'm guessing is translated as the english isn't great, but it a link to petition to stop the repeat of this barbaric act in the name of 'art'. There are NO pictures here, if you'd like to just skip them and sign the petition:

I have signed the petition, did not look at the link with the pictures though, i really couldn't bring myself to do it. :cry:

I am trying to get my head around it to be honest.

Couldn't really make sense of what was written before you sign the petition, not that it matters, its just disgraceful. )de:

Signed this via another forum. We thought Damion Hurst was bad enough.

Not quite sure how anyone would consider that as art; some civilisations crucified folk at random, others continue to this day with bull fighting and trophy hunting but as far as Iâ€™m aware none have dared to use the veil of art to explain their actions. Signed the petition anyway.

Signed the petition. Didn't look at pictures no need as can imagine. Unreal. I 'm speechless!!!!!

I also signed a petition the other day from the Celia Hammond animal trust, about all the stray cats at the proposed site for the london olympics, they want more time to help capture the cats and rehome them, the developers are not giving them enough access and the cats are frightened and hiding in the buildings they are demolishing. Look up celia Hammond on the internet animal trust.

The photographs don't look fake.
We spend our life, collecting food and sending it to the strays in Corfu, Greece. A lot of the dogs look like this one.

Thsi link was sent to me at work from a friend. I doubted its authenticity too but her being a clever whizz researched it and believes it to be true.
I won't repeat the comments I made on it )de:
