Dog killed in the name of "art"?

Question

Watch the video if you want, but it's not for the weak-hearted.

A dog, picked up off the street, was tied by a short rope to a wall and starved to death with the words "eres lo que lees" (meaning "you are what you read") written in dog food above its head.

The director of the art establishment claims that the dog was only tied up for one day before escaping, but the "artist" himself admits that the dog died (later changing his story several times to suit the outraged animal lovers). The truth is unknown, but the fact that this man was elected to represent his country in another art exhibition. He was asked to display another presentation like this one.

Answer 1

this is an atrocity.

Answer 2

i watched it.i can't believe that dog was abused like that.it was awful and is definitely not art.any art like that should be banned and not asked to be reproduced.the person that came up with that idea of*art* is sick and i dont think it should be able to happen.im going to sign the petition and hope that nothing like that will ever happen again but unfortunately i know it will :<

Answer 3

i wouldnt watch it , it sounds enough to make me cry !!! how terrible!!!!!! that person who done that should be hung and made to starve to death to!

Answer 4

There is no way I will watch.  This "man" will be a dog outside the gates of Heaven, only if he's lucky.  Frankly, I'd bet there's a spot in h**l for him already.

Answer 5

These freaks need to get a life, and some sense of reality. I have few art ideas that involve him.

Answer 6

That makes me want to cry.  I signed the petition!

Answer 7

Its horrid that things like this can happen. even if it were just for  a day NO WAY should things like this happen. I don't understand why animal cruelty laws are not more severe. Thats what people should fight for and spend there time on instead of the pointless c**p some people do on the internet.

Answer 8

this is not art. most of this "modern" art is nothing more than people try to get money for nothing. they have no talent and are just doing things (even criminal) and hiding behind the right to express themselves. their losers and put a bad name on the world of TRUE art!
