Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | [News] Dog Tortured For "Art" This is so sick, I almost can't post it. I'm actually nauseous. I heard about this on the radio 2 days ago, and it's taken me this long to brace myself and go find it on the internet. This man in Nicaragua brought a starving dog in - off of the streets, into an art gallery, chained it up, without access to food or water - and people could come by and watch it starve to death. They came, they watched, it died. Seriously, it's times like these when I almost wish I knew a professional assassin who occasionally performed pro-bono work....bc I want this artist off the planet I inhabit. There is a petition you can sign on-line that will go to the Costa Rican president: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Sta...s-Wrong?page=6

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I was telling my hubby the other night - that after I heard about this story - I was literally picturing myself getting on a plane (thinking "how could I hide my identity), hunting this man down, and *ending his life* - seriously. Is that scary? Maybe. But it affected me that much - to the point where I saw myself literally saying to him "THIS is for the life of that lovely creature - you can't be here ANYmore. You're done here." Wow.

| SICK-O!! I don't "get" that kind of art. I thought horse dung on the Virgin Mary Statue was bad enough, but that takes the cake.

| I truly cannot get my mind around all the people who saw it and NOT ONE did anything about it? It's beyond disturbing!

I too cannot wrap my mind around how NO ONE stepped in and stopped this "live" cruelty. And, while someone may argue "well, but *that* was the *art* of it" - that "no one" steps in all the time, all around us. IF anyone wants to say that, I'll answer right now: I'll step in anytime, anywhere - show me, I'll do it; I don't need "starving animal art" to show me the way, nor do I think most humans with a brain do either.

| I actually cried when I opened the link and looked at the dog. I'm at a loss for words.

| I saw this months ago on a myspace bulletin.. I couldn't believe it. What I really had a hard time with is the fact that people day in and day out walked by and around this dog, KNOWING it was starving to death. The things that go on in other countries.. like this and the fur trade in China.. are incomprehensible to me. Awareness is the key.. As hard as it is to watch.. You must to get MAD enough to make a change or at least to try.. spread the word.
