Not this old chestnut again!
If you actually took the time to look into this 'story' you would find out that the dog didn't die.
The Humane Society investigated this case and concluded that the dog was actually treated pretty well. Yes it was skinny, but that's because it was a street dog. According to the Humane Society's report the dog wasn't tied up for more than 3 hours at a time, was fed and watered regularly and was released, in good health, at the end of the installation.
Mr Habacuc has produced a very though provoking artwork that shows the hypocrisy in us all. When there are thousands, if not millions of animals and human beings starving to death all over the planet that we conveniently ignore, it is only when faced with the perceived death of an innocent creature as a public exhibition that we are finally wrenched from our apathy to do what?
If this story has affected you, why don't you drag yourself away from your PC screen, go out into the big wide world and do something about the starvation that affects millions on a daily basis.
