Angry The cruelty of man !

Even though my thoughts are with everyone out there in California, battling the fires, something came to my attention that i could not just let go by without doing something, no matter how little.

An "artist" from Honduras has taken a stray dog off of the streets, tied him to a rope and placed him in his exhibition to starve ... all for the sake of modern art !

People came and watched... no one saved the dog and it eventually died from starvation on a cold floor, with dog food glued to the wall he was facing but could not reach..

A petition was drawn to have this "artist" punished for this act of cruelty

It's too late for this poor animal, but as a signal that this cannot go unpunished and to ensure that something like this never happens again, please sign the petition and forward this to all your friends.

pictures of the gallery with the dog can be seen here:

For those who do not want to watch te pictures but do want to sign the petition - here is the link to the petition itself :

I can't look, but that guy should be chained to a wall and made to look at a steak, just out of reach, until he starves. I'll sign the petition.

I can't even understand that. I thought I wanted to see the pictures but as it was opening, I changed my mind. I'm afraid if I look it's going to haunt me. I hope someone just takes him out. It takes a sick **** to think something like that is art.

What about all those bastards who went to see the exhibit and did nothing? They all ought to be punished. I am angry inside. My face is actually red.

Still a possibility it might not be true. Let's hope.

the snopes article sounds like BS, to me; but, like you said, let's hope.

btw, don't open this link if you don't want to see pictures.

I read this days ago. I thought about posting it here, but really.. it just makes me too sick. When I first saw the article, I actually got angry tears and had to call home to have someone tell Lily that I love her.

I hope it's a hoax. But if it's true... woe be unto that man should he ever cross paths with me. I would flip the ever-lovin'-**** out, ya'll.

I agree--this idiot should suffer the same fate as the dog. So should everyone who actually went to see this glorified torture show they're calling an art exhibition. I think he should be placed in a big ol' bubble in the middle of Times Square, chained to one side of the bubble with a steak glued to the other like sara1998 said, just mere inches out of reach, so people can watch HIM as he starves to death.

Betcha he'd say I'm a monster for suggesting that. 'Cause dogs, who would never have the capability to think up something this...*cruel* doesn't even begin to describe it...are just so much lesser than *humans*. Idiot.

*goes off to sign petition then downstairs to hug her dog*

That was my first thought too so i checked it on some virusalert websites, but alas, nothing came up.
But, as you say, let's hope...

Wait. If you're angry inside, why is your face red?

I clicked on the link and almost lost my dinner.
