Hells No!

No, not art at all. As much as I hate PETA, this kind of shit just disgusts me.

the

is in agreement with you, but disagreement with what was done.

^^What they said.
Seems anything stupid, tasteless or just plain ridiculous can be called art these days. Even worse by the fact that an animal had to suffer for some knobs idea of 'art'.

I agree with you 100%. I do hate PETA, but that was ridiculous what that person did.

What ever happened to painting and sculpture? Just like... f*ck... WHY!? It was a poor dog! A poor, starved to death dog! You can see that in any third world country. Does that mean that they have fucking art walking around on the streets? NO!!! It was completely senseless!

post-modernism makes me want to soil myself and run through the streets with aforementioned undergarments flapping in the wind

Being a dog lover I am not condoning his actions, but the artists 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 exibit, even though these same people would ignore the exact same dog if they encountered it on the street.

Note, that there are NO pictures of a dead dog. Why? Because the dog didn't die.

How many strays did you feed today? Hmm?

This site says the same thing. Just because the artist said "I won't say the dog died." doesn't mean the dog didn't die!

Well, it shouldn't be hard to find a picture then. After all it's true!

Geez, I sound like Xtratasbasco. :lol:

This is...Absolutly disgusting.

What WOULD be art is to let that guy in a gallery and leave him to death.

I'm not exactly the most humanitarian kinda person but that is just wrong.

teenagers and neocons may not be your most reliable art critics, mate

by **Frigidus** on Fri Nov 16, 2007 12:00 am

Wow, I've got to say that if I saw that I'd feed the poor bastard...screw art, that's wrong.

by **Iliad** on Fri Nov 16, 2007 1:21 am

That wasn't art

i'm sorry to say this but this is an art although put to extreme. look how much emotions he caused (look at previous posts) and how many of u judged him for killing a dog. yet people are dying every day and you are doing the same thing to them - just u don't see it so you don't care. what does this say about you then fellow Americans?

If I saw a man dying in the street I'd feed him, but you can't travel the world feeding people. It isn't realistic.

I question your source. I will investigate further.

I agree. When we had the foot and mouth outbreak (it's a disease that affects cattle) in the UK this year, i think it was, there was ahug campaign by a newspaper to rescue one calf. It was sickening. This national outpouring of grief over a cow - from a nation of roast beef addicts no less - while hundreds of thousands were beign slaughtered and burned.
I don't like what this guy did much, but i'm not supposed to. Like BG said, he's exposing hypocrisy, which is never comfortable when you (or I) are the hypocrite.

There is a fine line between art, and sheer stupidity though. I don't consider "modern Art" to be actual art, I consider art to be sculpters, artistic painters, and archetecture. Not blank peices of paper, not a can of soup, nor a dead dog. I consider stuff by say, Michelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci actual artists, but most of what people come up with for "Modern Art" is just a bunch of things thrown together.
