This is actually from October '07. I've been avoiding blogging this as it is just too, well, too much really.
Apparently he had three children catch the dog. He tied it up in an "art" gallery and ordered that no one feed or water the dog. No one stopped him, no one, not even the gallery staff, did anything. Patrons walked around the "exhibit."
The dog died.
**EDIT** the exhibit, as it turns out, was not in Costa Rica but in Nicaragua. There seem to be different versions out there on the web. The artist is Costa Rican and has been chosen to represent Costa Rica in the art show.
When you spend your tourist dollars in Costa Rica, think about that! Oh, when you spend your tourist dollars in Costa Rica, think about the fact that Guillermo Habacuc Vargas has been chosen as one of their representatives to a major Central American Art show!
What's next? Come view the chained up Canadian tourist begging for a a drop of water?
