Guillermo Vargas Starves A Dog To Death
So I just heard about this man named Guillermo Vargas through a YouTube video. After doing some research I found out more details about an exhibition he done last year called “Eres Lo Que Lees” (translated “You Are What You Read”)
This “artist” decided to take some random dog he found on the streets, tie it up with a rope in one of the corners of his “art gallery”, and allow this animal to starve to death! Then this man had the audacity to refer to the forced suffering of this animal as “art”! He even wrote the name of this exhibition on the wall with dog food. I am sure this animal loved to smell that as he sat there and starved!
After researching dozens of other sites, articles, and blogs I have come to the conclusion that not only is this so called “artist” a sick, twisted freak but he is also a liar! Statements released by him and Juanita Bermúdez, the director of the Códice Gallery are all saying that this dog was not starved, and that he was well taken care of except for the three hours he was tied up inside the gallery.
Anyone with any amount of common sense can look at the available photos and see just how big of a lie this is! Juanita Bermúdez was even quoted saying “Natividad (the dog) was untied at all times except for the three hours the exhibition lasted, was regularly fed by the artist, and escaped after a day.” My question for all of you is: Does this look like a fed and well taken care of dog to you?
Take a good long look at how sunk in this dogs waist is and notice the scabs up and down his back bone! Look at how he is standing. It looks to me like he is barely standing at all! Why is he just gazing into the corner of the room barely able to life its head? I ask you again, does this look like a fed and well taken care of animal?
Does this picture look like “art” to you? I am absolutely baffled at the fact that a man can do this to a helpless animal and display it in a public “art gallery”.

About
I’m trying to think of he best way to describe myself… For right now lets just say every person who has come to know me has said at one time or another one of these statements: “I think there is something wrong with him!” Or “I can not believe he just said that out loud!”
I think Dane Cook said it best when he said: “Some day I want someone to look at me and say, ‘Are you out of your f**king mind!’”
I have been compared to people like Carlos Mencia. When I have an opinion I have no problem expressing it. Don’t worry though, I believe everyone is entitled to an opinion and I would love to hear yours. Just remember that I refuse to bite my tongue (which has got me in a lot of trouble over the years) and I can be “way too direct”. I hate childish arguments about who is right or wrong, but I love a good debate!
So get ready for something interesting to happen on this blog!
Other than that, I am an open book and promise that I will answer any direct question asked about me (unless your a stalker and want my home address or whatever…). So if there is something your curious about, just ask.

eww
all i have to say is that this is the sickest video i have seen! i have a dog n i love him it makes me want to cry i no there is cruelty is this world with dogs but to be so blatant and be allowed how can this be so i think this man should be arrested no matter weva people think this is art or not its still cruelyt to animals.
The owner of the gallery and the artist should both be starved to death. The people in the background on all the pictures must all be as bad as each other. Personally if I had walked into that gallery I would have ’stolen’ the piece of art namely the ’starving dog’ and took it away. Vargas is a sick excuse for a human being. I hope he is cursed to hell.
Do u have any pix of the dog when he was first found?
I am sure all of you would have taken heroic action, as you surely do every day.
