I was just informed of this ABOMINATION of an "art" exhibit at the Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American, by the so-called "artist" Guillermo Vargas Habacuc. This fucker took a dog from the street, tied it up in the gallery without food or water, and allowed it to starve to death in the presence of many gallery visitors. The gallery defended the actions, saying that since it was an artistic expression, it did not merit any allegations of mistreatment or legal action. This is absolutely disgusting. This is using the excuse that "art" allows one to do whatever the hell one wants to do. Maybe Habacuc wanted to make a "statement" on the mistreatment of animals, of humans, of whatever - is THIS the way to do it??? We KNOW there is mistreatment of animals, we KNOW that there are a million horrible things happening to human beings and animals alike - WHY make an example of one innocent dog to - what- REMIND us of this?? Unbelievable. What if a PERSON had been used as an example in this "prestigious" gallery? What if that person had not been allowed to eat or drink or shit - would THAT have been considered "art" as well????
I'm not a tree-hugger or anything, but this is more than upsetting. Maybe that's the very reaction that fucker wanted - in that case, if I had the opportunity, I'd blow a bullet in his head. May he rot in Hell. May all of them that considered this "art" rot in Hell.
