- darkchild82, on 03/19/2008, -16/+957Lets put the "artist" in the same exhibition gallery and tell him that we think its art. I'd like to know how he takes it. Ass.
- FootieForum, on 03/19/2008, -9/+477There is an online petition for this, as the guy has been invited to do this again by another gallery. Hopefully the stink raised on the internet will stop this.
- MayaMaya, on 03/19/2008, -10/+406This is just sick, this man should be arrested !!
- chrisj33, on 03/19/2008, -8/+259What happened to when it took talent and intelligence to create a good piece of artwork?
- mshifley, on 03/19/2008, -11/+248***** that guy. That makes me so sad and angry.
- skateboard1, on 03/19/2008, -19/+240All l need is five minutes with that guy... PLEASE!!!
- selmer, on 03/19/2008, -4/+211This is unreal. There are people in the gallery just chillin while this dog stares at them...***** worthless
- freshlycut, on 03/19/2008, -3/+205Whats more disturbing is why no one has done anything about it? I would make a point of feeding the dog instead of doing as some pom-pus art ***** has told the audience to do.
- NewPatriot, on 03/19/2008, -6/+178disgusting
- Jade456, on 03/19/2008, -13/+176That fing POS. He needs to be thrown in jail and left to rot. Someone should tie his ass to a pole and let him starve for his "art". See how he likes it. Wouldn't be a waste, since he obviously has no talent, the fing nazi.
- N3tw0rk, on 03/19/2008, -5/+151If i had stumbled upon this "gallery", I would have quietly fed that dog instead of just watching it die. I would've visited that dog several times to give him meals. After a week, the "artist" would have been like, wtf the dog ain't dead yet.
- GhostyBoy, on 03/19/2008, -4/+116Who the ***** are these ***** all lined up to see this?
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY ***** DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? - atomicwedgie, on 03/19/2008, -11/+112If only science permitted the possibility of a 150lb Rottweiler impregnating a man via his arse and carrying said offspring full term, we could then have true justice here.
- merripen, on 03/20/2008, -2/+101This is widely known to be a lie, intentionally maintained by the artist himself. In actuality, the dog was well fed and eventually released.
The artist's point was to highlight the hypocrisy demonstrated by people making an apparently sick and ill-fed dog the center of attention when it was presented as an art exhibit, even though many of them would ignore the same dog if they encountered it roaming the streets.
Controversial, but poignant. - SpaceDreamer, on 03/19/2008, -3/+100Why the hell didn't people disobey him and feed the dog ??
And why didn't they call the police or whoever is in charge of preventing cruelty to animals?? - inactive, on 03/19/2008, -8/+94That is a person without conscience. If you are going to willfully kill an animal that isn't a danger or health risk, do it quick and consume the meat. May he rot in hell.
- bitcloud, on 03/19/2008, -3/+84someone tied it to the wall of a gallery and left it to die.
- cyberwiz01, on 03/19/2008, -3/+73I would have cut it free and taken it home. Just feeding it would leave a poor dog just tied there. Does Honduras not have animal cruelty laws? This is just horrible!
- Noein, on 03/19/2008, -2/+69Maybe it was a test to see any of those "patrons of art" has the balls to not follow the instructions and free the animal. This just proves those people are sheeps.
- Phendrana, on 03/19/2008, -3/+69I think that was the point of this, to show that people will submit to rules. Anyone could've fed the dog, but they didn't because he told them they weren't supposed to. It died because nobody stepped up and broke the rule. It was an absolutely disgusting way to make his point though, and he should be banned from displaying his work. I can't believe he's been invited to do it again.
- oreonblade, on 03/19/2008, -2/+68There are more people who think that starving animals are considered an art form?!
Those people ought to be switched with some of the starving refugees in Africa. Win-win situation: refugees get the food they want, and the ***** get to personally watch their 'art' on themselves. - NatnlEklipseSho, on 03/19/2008, -7/+73that's really sick
- bamafun, on 03/19/2008, -8/+70Why didn't someone call the police? I hope they lock him up and starve his sorry self to death
- DeadlyCouncil, on 03/19/2008, -10/+71It died with the post modern movement.
- oxdeltaxo, on 03/20/2008, -3/+61I could understand just random abstract art, but starving any living thing to death is cruelty not art.
- johnstays44, on 03/19/2008, -5/+61very disturbing
- badjoke, on 03/20/2008, -1/+56Whoosh!
- GhostyBoy, on 03/19/2008, -1/+54I'm inventing a brand new style of "art": I'm going home to see my dog right now.
First I'm gonna feed him, then I'm going to play with him for the rest of the evening. - Telionis, on 03/19/2008, -9/+62This reflects worse on the country of origin than anything I can think of. If nobody bothered to complain or try to stop him, all of those people are just as sick as the "artist". This implies the whole country is a bunch of barbarian f-cks.
- RomanSavell, on 03/19/2008, -11/+62Someone should kill this piece of sh*T .And who let children around such a monster.
- jcaino, on 03/19/2008, -1/+49yea...i would have fed the dog too - what would he do about it? nothing. no law against feeding a dog...
now, i think the artist should still do his next exhibition, except, for his ultimate piece, he should chain himself up and tell no one to feed him. doesn't get much more 'art' than that by his definition i would think... - Roryking, on 03/19/2008, -5/+51oh *****, the internet tough guy ***** has fully arrived in Digg
- dvsbastard, on 03/20/2008, -0/+42http://www.laprensa.com.ni/archivo/2007/octubre/05 ...
From the article:
Juanita Bermudez, director of Gallery Codex says that as a person would not allow the abuse to the animal. The director said that the dog ate repeatedly and not died, but escaped during the night.

Whether this article is true is a different story... - sixthsoon, on 03/19/2008, -3/+44That's exactly my problem with this story. It's astounding that this douche has the balls to call himself an artist for doing this, but what really sickens me is that out of all the people who saw the "exhibit," not a single one did anything to help the poor dog.
- warner444, on 03/19/2008, -9/+48Cruelty to animals IS a crime and if the local City District Atty do not file charges he is not doing his job and should be fired. Same for the local police dept. A video of a crime being committed with witnesses, uh, I think they have all the evidence they need to arrest this sicko immediately
- syroncoda, on 03/19/2008, -8/+44why bother with anything intricate? just shoot him in the head. publicly. call it art and you'll get away with it.
- swrostmore, on 03/19/2008, -1/+34These are the kind of questions the artist was begging you to think while the dog was still alive.
- allowners, on 03/19/2008, -17/+50There are a bunch of hypocrites who whine about cruelty to a dog, yet celebrate cruelty to other animals. They are themselves below the status of animal.
- iamafatguy, on 03/20/2008, -1/+33No.
- Kronos6948, on 03/19/2008, -11/+42I say let this guy have another exhibition. First night, go in there, beat the living ***** out of this piece of *****, and watch him starve to death.
- mrmario, on 03/19/2008, -3/+33Five Minutes??? I could get it done in 30 seconds.
Now, if we're trying to hide to body it's a different story. - inactive, on 03/19/2008, -21/+49as is typical, you are all righteously ready to murder and kill, but are any of you donating money to an animal shelter? or just running your stupid mouths again? and just like with the guy who threw the puppy off the cliff, you're all big daddies talking blood, but when we hear about innocent children being killed, or left to die without inadequate healthcare, you just shrug and look the other way. *****.

- heypetray, on 03/19/2008, -5/+31Alright, I deserve it.
- cyberwiz01, on 03/19/2008, -3/+29No "Art" is about creative expression. Torturing an animal is in no way creative, and is only an expression of cruelty.
- snotrokit, on 03/19/2008, -7/+32I have a rope and a back yard. I would like to perform an art exhibition. He is invited to participate.
- feebie, on 03/19/2008, -6/+29It's all Marcel Duchamp's fault for finding a urinal and signing it with his pseudonym, calling it art.
***** ass. He knew he was stirring the pot in the art world too. - modusop, on 03/19/2008, -3/+26Domesticated dogs are dependent on people for survival - this kind of thing is similar to not feeding a child under your care.
- yaced, on 03/19/2008, -5/+28I think it shows more about the people in the gallery than the artist. All those people and no one would even feed the dog or for that matter untie it and get it the hell out of there. The artist should face the cruelest fate imaginable but so should every single other person who entered that gallery. They are just as guilty. I am an atheist, but this is one time i wish hell did exist.
- irinotecan, on 03/19/2008, -0/+22Unfortunately, this took place in Honduras apparently. I don't know if they have animal cruelty laws, but given the fact that this was done publicly, and that the patrons of this so-called "art exhibit" didn't raise holy hell (as they would have in America and probably most of Europe), I would have to guess that they don't.
