Warning: This is NOT pretty.

[rosdubh]

There is an "artist" who has exhibited the death of a starving dog (he tied it to a rope in a gallery and gallery visitors watched it slowly starve to death over days) as his masterpiece.

Warning the link below has pictures and is not pretty.

It does ,however, also include a petition to encourage other galleries (this is occurring outside the U.S.)

I am filled with brand new kinds of hate over the thought of this.

[rosdubh]

It's pretty damned disgusting.

Want to fly to South America with me?

Perhaps we could use a chainsaw to "make some art" with the guilty parties.

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Excuse me, I believe it's time to invoke brazilian rules.

I need to go choke some bitches. :(

doggy!!! ;-;

[rosdubh]

Yeah.
Really pretty effed up.

Your link does not work.

It says one thing, but goes to a Myspace page that is not valid.

[rosdubh]

Hm, yeah seems where I copied it from not only misspelled it in the text, but in the the link.
Thank you.

[Though LJ seems to not want to list at all as a hyper link? If you copy that now it should work.]

I went looking at snopes.com, and a few other sites known for debunking or verifying the stuff that flies across the internet

If it's true, I'd personally like to put two or three bullets in the head of the maggot responsible for this filth.

I thought I had seen disgusting. This makes me want puke.

Ah, I hadn't bothered to look. You may have noticed I'm not one normally to post things like or cause hysteria for hysteria's sake.
However, the person who sent it to me is an artist herself and immersed in the world so I thought she'd gotten wind of through legit sorts...
and considering the pictures I thought it was fairly so.

Though I /suppose/ it is certainly quite a few degrees less disgusting if the dog was already starving...

still lovely? Not so much.

but I'm going to forgo my usual PETA spiel right now for the sake of maintaining rational discussion on this

Rational discussion is good. *nods*

Were you able to turn up anything regarding the upcoming art exhibit?
If not, think I'll start doing some research myself.
It pretty much ruined my night to read this (my version not yours) so I'd like to know...

[northernminx]

Wouldn't someone have actually...called the police to check it out?

Hrm.

I'm still disgusted.
