I'd rather it was a hoax really but it's cost me nothing to sign xx

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 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.

Lindy :(

I have signed the petition Heather

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've now signed, as has my husband AND my 8 year old child.

thats disgusting how cruel

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.......

I'm not going to look at it but I will sign the petition.

Nudging to keep it on the first page for a bit. xx

my three children would be outraged if i didnt sign the petition.

I have to go now people, got my own rescue dogs to sort out :) but thank you so very much for your support, god bless you all for having the soul to want to stop sadism mascarading as "art".

As for Peter, well, thank God most people in the world arent like you and will stand up against evil however distasteful.

I you google the name of this 'artist' and scroll, there are lots of different petitons to sign, on the first 3 pages alone, all objecting to what he has done and intends doing again!! So if you can't access one - go to another.
The dog was beautiful too. I looked at some of the images - and a starving dog just lies down and dies, he didn't have enough energy to stand and display his pain.

The age is 16. However, I believe parents can register for their children, if they are under 16, might be wrong on that bit. If its true though then it's up to the parents to monitor their childrens useage of the internet, IMO.

Was about to add that membership age here is supposed to be 18 but I know my 2 eldest daughters (nearly 18 & nearly 17) have trees on here. They would be very likely to go sign the petition and I will tell them now about this.

They would be more upset if they were to read some of the petty agrumants that occur on this board as they would consider people on here adults.................

Oh and also most teenagers are subjected to much worse behaviour in real life anyway....

Well done Heather for raising this topic.

love Theresa

Ah thats right Maggy, some years ago they reduced it from 18 after one particular person was banned from being too young and we protested because she was a particular mature person anyway - just shows you Peter - the power of protest, eh?

Thanks Rox. Ive never been able to hide from the distasteful - I have to stand up and be counted. Im glad most of you feel the same.
