I signed this petition the other day..I am absolutly appauled - and quite honestly if it is for real and is being repeated i will fly to the 'gallery' myself and take the dog ( with or without force)

I think this forum is definatly the place for this type of thread, we have many animal lovers on here who would do their upmost to prevent cruelty, and also others who are blissfully unaware of the cruelty inflicted on animals throughout the world...
I have absolutly NO problem with children learning from a young age that this sort of thing goes on, it is our duty to educate the next generation and hopefully eventually irradicate this sort of appauling activity.......

Toothfairy-I'm with you wholeheartedly,will join you to rescue any other animals this idiot has in mind for 'art' !
What is confusing me as a simpleton is--surely amongst all the 'viewers ' at the gallery ,at least one must have been an animal lover ,I had a picture of 'ladies' in killer heels viewing the exibit .Makes me wonder now whether we have all been taken for a sick ride!!
I did sign the petition--

I have signed and feel sick to my stomach as I was hoping not to see any photo's but they appeared before the petition.

This has really upset me, how people could stand by and let this happen is beyond my comprehension.

What a cruel world we live in.

I had a look on Snopes and this appears to be an undetermined as factual subject. The gallery director claimed the dog was well cared for when not on display and that it escaped rather than dying of starvation.

Not sure about this one.

I hope it's not a hoax either but even if the dog is been well cared for it shouldn't be used as art, IMO.

I see nothing 'artistic' in this little scenario.

I DO hope it is a hoax, but will be signing the petition anyway, on the off chance that it is true.
If true, this is a disgusting thing to have happened and no one connected with the episode is 'innocent' of this crime.

Peter my children are all grown up.... but were they still young and read this.. we would have a talk about it.
If it were in tomorrows news papers, or on TV news.... would I make sure they did not see it?
NO.... I never censored there reading at any age, and certainly never the news.

PS.... Just signed and there are so many signatures!!

Would love this to be a hoax - for all the right reasons, but there are VERY real pictures of an animal in appauling condition that needs to be investigated......
And I for one will be looking into this closely....!!

On the subject of children viewing this sort of thing i think it's great that others have the same view - to educate them that this is something that is very wrong is surely better than them being blind to the world?? My five year old is more than aware and often helps me with rescues (and plans to be a vet when she grows up) - She has seen animals in distress and understands we must stop it, whatever it takes....
