I sent an email after a google search as the link didn't seem to work.

That's disgusting. I can't believe people didn't raise an uproar when it started.

I agree, this is criminality, not art. If he wanted it to be art he should have made a succesion of models of dogs gradually getting thinner and iller which he replaces one with the next at certain intervals, that would have been art. To create an illusion of a dog getting in worse shape as you pass it using holograms or clever artistry would have been art. This is just abuse. well brought up - i am glad someone cared enough to highlight it.

Its not real, the dog was already malnurished from living on the streets and he took the pictures to cause a up roar in the public about the starving dog. He then asked the public why they care more about a starving dog in a art gallery but would most likely pass that same starving dog on the streets.He calls humans sheep and did it to prove a point

And according to Snopes, no one even knows if the dog really was mistreated or just made to look that way. Snopes also says that in this news article the gallery director denies that the dog died and claims s/he escaped from the gallery during the night..... Riiiiight.... (the article is not in English btw)

That's a really old article espence. I think I saw that and signed a petition last year.

Still disgusting though.
