If I’d been there, I would have taken that dog home. This disgusting creature who calls himself an “artist” makes me sick. And this guy above me needs help, who would defend this??

in defense i would say this was a success.

those who choose to discount this as an act of cruelty have missed the meaning of the piece altogether. not sayin i’d do this, but at least i understand it. criticism created out of anger and rage comes from not understanding. this was far from a stupid, self-serving, mean-spirited act. it is pure hatred, an apathetic gesture, dissatisfaction of what humanity was, is, and will be.

please do not misinterpret my criticism as negative. adopt a dog, don’t eat meat, quit looking at art, read a book, stop watching television. thank you.

“So everybody has looked at the photo and the headline, become upset, signed the petition, blogged about it… and then had dinner. Don’t you feel righteous and fullfilled now that you’ve signed an online petition? Did it take much effort, or inconvenience you in any way?”

Since when did “You are not as good as you could be so your good acts are meaningless” become a valid argument?

I don’t believe in insulting foreigners either, — and I live “abroad” permanently. But do YOUR research and you’ll find that this stupid-event-for-attention artist changed his story about what happened at least FIVE times. Whatever happened, it is stupid, mean-spirited and whether or not OTHER creatures suffer or not does not justify ones own misuse of suffering, whether actual or virtual, as exploitation for fame, even if the artist begins to explain that it wqs only illustration of an idea. Self-serving neo-conceptual event art at its worst.

Do your research!!!! The dog DID NOT die! He was on display for three hours a day for three days and then escaped. He was fed while not on display. Artists are not cruel idiots that just torture animals for fun! His point was to show how a starving animal (something found everywhere in large 3rd world cities)is ignored in everyday life and but noticed when on display. It is a comment on art and a comment on life.

Do your research before you jump to conclusions about “stupid foreigners” If you have traveled outside your lucky US life, you would know that starving animals are a seriously ignored problem internationally.
