WTF!? That is absolutely horrible and appalling. So sad...

The pictures are sad.

what an a**hole.people should go to trial as if they had killed anothe human for a crime such as this...

Heh. I personally think he's a sick **** myself, but he did get people thinking and talking. Maybe it'll motivate some people to actually get involved with homeless people and starving people and animals.

Oh and Costa Ricans view these dogs as vermin, thats why he was able to get away with it. But seriously, starving a dog in a public place with some writing on the wall to justify what he did is ****ed up. And he'll probably get away with it.

Of course he will. That's what sucks. And like I said earlier, he wants this kind of attention. He knew it would happen. When you're starving for attention, you don't care if it's good or bad.

i knew there would be a time when my username would apply somewhere.

btw, the dog wasn't starving.

The whole point of the exhibit was to show you that no one gives a **** about a starving dog when you see it wandering around, but all of a sudden it's in an art gallery and it's animal cruelty. People live with food and resources in their homes and there are animals starving in the town you live in, probably... is that animal cruelty?

it's as much art as any other thing in the art gallery

I'd slap you if I could you are such a reject.

Why could he not have taken a picture of the poor dog then nursed it back to health and taken another picture?

His reasons behind it are understandable but he is being a hypocrite, I used to work in an animal sanctuary starving animals are nothing to brush off as if they are meaningless.

WHY are things like this allowed? I'd have stolen the dog.

how so?

he couldn't just take a picture because people see pictures all the time. big deal. its the idea that you go into the art gallery and actually see the dog starving in front of you. the very idea that the dog was chained up in an art gallery is enough for it to be cruelty, just seeing a picture of some starving dog on the street is "sad", but not "cruelty"... so no one gets uppity about it and the artist doesn't get his point across

I like how that randomly makes taking a starving dog a big time theft from an art exhibit.
