Dear Sirs:

I am writing regarding the Horrifying actions of Guillermo Habacuc Vargas, who paid local children to catch a dog on the street and then confined, starved and publicly displayed the dog as an 'art' exhibit until the innocent animal died of starvation.

I, along with many people worldwide, am outraged that Guillermo Habacuc Vargas has been selected to represent Costa Rica in 'Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008.' This man is by no definition of the word an artist. He is a criminally insane sadist and enjoys inflicting prolonged suffering upon his innocent victims. He is a danger to all of society, as it is well-documented that those with the capacity to intentionally cause harm to an animal have the same capacity to harm humans. To state that this animal would have died eventually of natural causes is unjustifiable and defies logical, rational thought.

To allow Guillermo Habacuc Vargas to represent Costa Rica in Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 will in no way benefit Costa Rica. The world is watching, and the actions of this so-called artist have brought many negative assumptions as to the humanity of the people of Costa Rica. The fact that many witnesses of this animal's suffering did nothing, and that the organizers of this event allowed this to happen, rather than taking action to see that Guillermo Vargas be criminally charged with animal abuse, is sending the world a message that Costa Rica is a cruel, uncivilized society that has no regard for life, but enjoys viewing and contributing to the loss of life.

Each and every person who knew of and witnessed the suffering of this innocent dog is guilty of causing its unnecessary death. To let this crime go unpunished, and instead to reward Guillermo Vargas by choosing him to represent Costa Rica in Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 is unacceptable and shameful, not only to Costa Rica but to all participants in this event.

I urge you, do not condone the heinous actions of Guillermo Vargas by allowing him to participation in Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008. He should be jailed and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for this animal's death, and should not be allowed to represent Costa Rica as an artist, for to refer to him as such is an insult to all true artists.

How can you accept this type of barbarian crimes be art? Is this what you are teaching to your children about art in your country? Is this the message you are sending to children in the rest of the world?

There is already so much miserable things in the world: why are you contributing for the world to be a worse place to live in???

What a shame! Shame Costa Rica Shame!!!


Sincerely,

Cacilda Fernandes

email sent to us today.....

More than 2 million have signed the petition. Still we have not got Vargas banned from the show in November this year, b ut we haven't given up.
 
The original problem is that the cruelty to animals law in Nicaragua (where the show took place) is very weak, that is why nothing was done.  We have notified the major institutions looking after the interests of animals in the world, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (in USA), and World Society for the Protection of Animals (England), but at present we are trying to target the authorities of Costa Rica who are promoting this artist and have invited him to represent his country in another big show, the Central American Biennale in November.  Our letters are to the Ministry of Tourism, telling them that if they promote people who abuse animals, we will not go to Costa Rica on vacation.  We want to deluge them with letters, to make them think twice about what they are doing. If you would like to send a letter, a text follows below, you can send it or use it as a model. You can check the other two cases on the net, they have also gone unpunished.

 

If you have any other ideas, please let us know.

 

Blessings
