Disturbing news from SPCA

International News: Animal Abuse = Not Art

Torture as Art - How much soul can one lose?

In 2007, 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery and left him starving to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition watched emotionless as the shameful 'masterpiece' of the dog's agony continued until eventually the poor dog died.

The prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of Central America decided that the 'installation' was actually art- Guillermo Vargas Habacuc won 1st prize for his barbaric exhibition and has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008 this November.

Art comes along with the values of humanity, kindness, peace and passion. This cruel act is certainly a barbaric one!
