A Cruel Act Of Art

I received this in the mail today and I found it to be a cruel display of what was labelled as art.

Read it and tell me, cruel or not?

My opinion :

The artist says he wants to just showcase the situation of the strays on the
streets.

Then why not we grab a homeless kid and tie him to the wall too so we can showcase the situation of the homeless people too!!!

CRAZY
LOGIC!!!!

The poor dog would have had a chance of finding food and water in the streets unlike the "NO CHOICE" situation of the poor dog TIED to the damn wall.

The email I received :

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

Does it look like art to you?

But this is not all ... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.
