In 2007 the ‘artist’ Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death.
For several days, the ‘artist’ and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful ‘masterpiece’ based on the dog’s agony, until eventually he died.
But this is not all… the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the ‘installation’ was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

A friend emailed me this heartbreaking video.
As a nation, we claim to love cats and dogs. Millions of households have pets, and billions of dollars are spent yearly on pet supplies and food. But as a nation, we should take a hard, sobering look at a different annual statistic: the millions of dogs and cats given up to shelters or left to die on the streets. And the numbers tell only half the story.

Landi, before the operation.
Me and my officemates are about to have lunch in an eatery located in an open area at the back of our store. The food looks delicious and as I was about to partake, this kitten came up to us and started meowing. I thought, Why, oh why me? I always seem to be in the same places as these kittens. They seem to know who I am. Am i becoming a kitten magnet? (Don’t get me wrong, I am not really complaining. I’m just being melodramatic. hahaha). I lost my appetite (But It wasn’t so bad really, maybe it was God’s answer to my prayer – that He help me lose weight).
