Sick maniac starved dog to death in the name of art and asked to repeat

[domain newbie]

In 2007, Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, supposedly an artist, took up an abandoned dog in the street, attached it with a very short string to the wall of an art gallery and let it slowly die of hunger and thirst.


During several days, the author of this cruelty, just like the visitors of the art gallery, observed impassively the anguish of the poor animal until its death by inanition after having gone through a painful, absurd and incomprehensible martyrdom.


This is not all: the prestigious Centroamerican Art Biennal decided, in an incomprehensible way, that the brutality of this individual was "art" and consequently, Guillermo Vargas Habacuc was invited to repeat the cruelty in the 2008 version of the event.

Pictures of the poor animal can be found in google

This has been going around for a while. What's really sad is that in the pictures there is a sign made of dog food in the same room as well as a bowl of dog food.

Snopes is unable to confirm or deny this story, though.
