I was sent an e-mail today that shocked and sickened me, please, if you have the stomach, scroll down and follow the link to the petition. THIS WILL TAKE A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME AND WILL SAVE A CREATURE – AND HOPEFULLY REMOVE THIS SO-CALLED 'ARTIST'!!! Hi all, this is a very serious matter... In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died. Does it look like art to you? 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. Let's STOP HIM!!!!! Click on the following link : www.petitiononline.com/ea6gk/petition-sign.html or www.petitiononline.com/13031953/petition.html

I'm sorry but the pictures haven't come out but actually they are so awful it's probably best they didn't. Apparently the guy took a street dog, tied it up in a "gallery" and people paid to watch it starve to death. in the name of art

I think this was showed in YH or somewhere. I signed it and emailed a few friends who also signed.
I'd love to get hold of that guy and tie him up in a room with no food or water, and then charge people to come and watch him die a slow painful death! Sicko!

If it's a hoax I'm really relieved however which other sick SOB would start such a hoax? Just as sick in my book as the pics came from somewhere Z
