When my mom told me about this, I was shocked. I really think it is worth sharing with you all.
A man payed children to catch a starving dog that was wondering around on the streets. Once he had the dog, he brought it to an art gallery, tied it up in a corner, put a bowl of food across the room, and called it art work! I do not see how a starving dog being teased with a bowl of food is in any way art, but some people obviously enjoyed it, as he plans on doing another one of these "masterpieces" again. Keep in mind that this is a live art show, not just a photograph. The dog he used in his first art show actually died. He let it starve to death!
There is a petition to stop his next art show on the care2 website (www.care2.com, so please check it out. This petition is for the art gallery that plans on letting him do another show. I believe this is happening in Costa Rica. I do not know if there will be anything done legally about it, because I do not know their laws. But I do hope that something is done to stop this abuse. Hopefully, the petition works.
What are your opinions on this? Do you plan on signing the petition, or taking further actions? Please let me know.

This is the most horrible thing I have heard. What kind of a person would taunt a poor dog like that? That poor dog was killed for some else's gain? That is sick and repulsive.

Yes, its terrible. In no way, shape, or form should that be considered artwork. I do not understand how some people think it is. This man must be heartless.
