I'm completely in favor of legislation like this. Cruelty to animals in order to create "art" is unacceptable; in fact, cruelty to animals and ART are antithetical to each other. Perhaps some serial killers see their acts as art. That doesn't make it so.This past year an artist named Guillermo Vargas placed and tied up a starving dog in his "exhibit."
Here is a video with some pictures. Outrageous. One has to wonder about the people passively observing the animal as part of this demented spectacle. It's always the question--who's worse, the sinners of OMISSION, or the sinners of COMMISSION.

This is the most upsetting art I've heard of. I read about it earlier this summer and literally I feel the need to block this memory to continue on with my normal life. I can honestly say if I was a spectator I would have made any attempt to rescue the dog, even if it ment jail time. And now I sound like Peta, but oh well.

You're exactly right - this is one step away from a demented serial killer who thinks he's creating "art." What's next - tying starving children to an exhibit? I think some people do this because they have no talent and just want attention any way they can get it.
