Animal abusing sicko "artist" at it again.....
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 11:26 AM by Edweird
Remember Guillermo Vargas, the asshole that starved "Natividad" to death and called it art? Well, he is representing Costa Rica in an international art festival taking place in the Honduras this year. He will be starving another dog to death in the name of "art". There is an online petition to get them to boycott him.

Here is "art" by that piece of human garbage.

2. He obviously doesn't have any real artistic talent
if he has to resort to sick antics to get publicity.

5. No talent OR humanity and waste of skin.
Doing stupid or outrageous things to yourself is one thing (Jackass, for example), but starving an animal that has no voice to death is inexcusable, and doing for your own profit makes it even worse.

6. Snopes...

This MAY be real, or it MAY not. Either way, it is DISGUSTING and inhumane and NOT 'artistic' whatsoever.

7. I prefer to err on the side of humanity and sanity.

Is it a hoax? Possibly. Short of actually seeing it in person I'll never know for sure. But I DO know that a *LOT* of people are aware of and outraged by this, especially those in the artistic communities. If you sign the petition and it is a hoax, well, no harm no foul.

10. Anyone who attends should feed the dog.
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 03:12 PM by Richardo
That's what I'd do if I were there.

No starvation, no 'artistic statement', no career.













Oh yeah, and I'd also feed his legs and both hands to a pack of starving dogs.

12. Why doesn't someone do something dramatic like feed the dog
and kick his ass down a bluff someplace??

14. Horrifying.
Talk about debasing the very idea of art. There are a million ways to make the point he claims to be trying to make without committing a monstrous act of cruelty yourself. A REAL artist could do it much better.

Is there a "feed HIM to starving stray dogs" petition I can sign?

17. Ship his ass off to Detroit -- that oughta do the job.
There were, what, 3 people killed there by feral dog packs last year? I highly doubt any of them deserved it. Unlike this asshole.

18. Goddammit, not AGAIN.

Let's hope the Hondurans are forced to cancel his shit.

Edit: Checked Orbitz. A flight to Honduras to have a few words with this fuck is, unfortunately out of my price range. About $600 round trip.

19. Done. This sorry excuse for a human being is one seriously twisted fuck.
As is anyone who indulges his savagery.
