Hello everyone. My name is Guillermo Habacuc Vargas. I am 50 years old and an artist. Recently, I have been critisized for my work titled "Eres lo que lees", which features a dog named Nativity. The purpose of the work was not to cause any type of infliction on the poor, innocent creature, but rather to illustrate a point. In my home city of San Jose, Costa Rica, tens of thousands of stray dogs starve and die of illness each year in the streets and no one pays them a second thought.God. Can't you use another way to display such art? There are loads of photographers/artists/writers out there that have shown the many problems in the world without having the resort to such actions. Having educated in the creative field, I have learnt that you can create but in a diplomatic kind of way.Now, if you publicly display one of these starving creatures, such as the case with Nativity, it creates a backlash that brings out a big of hypocrisy in all of us. Nativity was a very sick creature and would have died in the streets anyway.

Blinkymummy has written on someone trying to "illegally" bring in a dog. Some what so contradicts the art that our dear friend has created. Please sign the petition. He has the intention of re-creating such gruesome work. Please stop/prevent him from doing so again. Who knows how many innocent lives that he might have taken in the name of art? I do believe if I were art, I won't want to relate myself to such an act at all!
