If this is true it is really beyond words...

A self proclaimed artist tied a stray dog to a wall and starved it to death calling it art. I am still unsure what really happened, but if it is true it is beyond my comprehension. Here are some links...

I was very upset when I first saw the videos on You Tube about this, but then Snopes said an article in a spanish newspaper said the dog was fed at night and escaped. I bet someone went in and freed it. It was pitiful, but it was good to see the public outcry against it. I did sign the petition. If only more people would help the dogs in the street.
