Dog Used as Art, Tied Up, Starved to Death

On Tuesday, March 11, 2008, 13.7 Billion Years received the following forwarded email from a concerned friend:

"In 2007, Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, a supposed artist, captured an abandoned dog from the street, tied him with a short cord to the wall in an art gallery and left him there to slowly die of hunger and thirst. For a few days, gallery visitors viewed the agony of the poor animal until finally the dog died of starvation after having experienced so much pain.

And that's not all, now the Honduras Biennale Centro de Arte, after they decided that was art, invited Guillermo Vargas Habacuc to repeat this cruel action for the 2008 Biennale."
