I don't object to this thread being here at all, but find it really sad that 2 million people have signed the petition when Gillian's petition about SADS only has just over 700 signatures.

Surely we should be trying to save the lives of humans as well as animals.

That's obviously your perogative Peter.

Maybe a good idea to keep this nudged then so as many people see it as possible before it goes Whoooooooosh xx

Whatever you do please DO NOT remove this thread. Things like this need to be brought to the public's attention.

Thousands of members of the public are here viewing these boards, and if just a small percentage of us sign the petition it might be worthwhile.

I am off to do just that now.

Peter, if the general consensus is that it should be removed, I will do so, but there are only words on here, nothing for any child to see. I see mention of a suicide and a death from a drugs overdose are already just above this posting - have you felt they should also be removed?

If we all turn our heads to the wall because we feel distaste ......................................

I'll sign it.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If we don't know about it we can't do anything about it can we.? xx

Distasteful as this might be, I don't think it is for this forum.

Don't forget that children are welcome to log on to here, with parents permission.

Please remove forthwith.

A member sent me a link which at first I thought must be a sick hoax, but I know this person would have authenticated the matter and indeed has assured me they did. I have since heard from others involved in dog rescue that this is genuine. If you google this persons name you will see it is fact.

"In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death.

For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died."

The photos that were attached to the information are horrific. It made me feel physically sick - even more so that middle class people were standing around drinking wine and eating canapes while the poor dog lay starving and tied up in the gallery dying in front of them.

This person has now been invited to repeat the "art exhibition" in a Central american gallery. We cannot let him do this. PLEASE go to the link and sign the petition. Over 2 million have already signed, if each of us sign and send an email to say 20 each to sign then within a short time we will have added hundreds of thousands of names to the protest.

Click on the folowing link :

or just copy it in your browser to sign a petiton to stop him to do it again, then type the name Guillermo Vargas Habacuc to find the petition to sign.

Please do it.

It's free of charge, there is no need to register, and it will only take 1 minute to save the life of an innocent creature. The petition partly uses spanish - dont let that put you off, basically 4 lines to complete - Name, then email addy, then put your location - say your county - then on the last line UK or whatever country you are in.
