In 2007 artist Guillermo Vargas took a stray dog from the streets of Nicaragua, and tied it to a short leash in an art gallery, titling his exhibit "Eres Lo Que Lees" ("You Are What You Read"). The dog was tied to a wall by a length of rope in a room

I can't believe that others watched it knowing it was starving?! signed gladly. his works should be boycotted and he should be shunned by all.

This isn't creativity, it's cruelty. What is artistic about abusing an animal and what is intellectual about watching it? The answer is nothing. Only a shallow person would applaud this and call it art. Thank you, Cher!

This person is sadistic, perhaps this time around we should get the rope and tie it around his scrawny little neck, leave him no food or comforts and let him be the "art masterpiece" that he so desires.. He deserves nothing, and should be punished severely for his shameful act... Picasso would turn in his grave if his knew this was where art had gotten to today.

I can't believe he still has a single follower, what is wrong with the people in this world, we should never do to an animal what we wouldn't want done to us, the human race is pathetic!
ty Cher, I hope he suffers even a portion of what he put that poor dog through.
