I Protest Starving a Dog In the Name of Art
This is an article I found concerning the artist, Guillermo Vargas, who was supposedly starving a dog captured on the streets of Managua, Nicaragua in the name of art.
The article holds that the outrage about the dog, named Nativity, was part of a project intended to expose the misinformation and manipulation of/by mass media via the internet.
Vargas himself signed the petition of protest, along with 4 million others.
It has not been proven the dog died while being used as a part of the art exhibition. Vargas intended ambiguity to help pinpoint human hypocrisy about human suffering vs that of animals, and the lack of attention give to the suffering of both humans and animals in our world.
