Please Sign the Petition to STOP this "Starvation Art"
The "artist" allowed a dog to starve to death, as part of an "art" exhibit.

But this is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

3. If he were in the U.S.
well... I would hope this would not happen in the U.S.

But, if it did... yeah...

Worse than Vick.

4. I feel I have lost the moral high ground to object to things like this in other countries.
As Americans, we really have very little standing to object, do we?
