I think it's great that the NY Daily News mentioned this person today, scroll down to "Art Attack". It says PETA is against him now too. As they should be. I hope it's never forgotten or dropped because this is what he banks on, the other times this was brought up he still went on to make millions more and still stands to make millions combined at WSU and in Philly with Logan Square. He hopes people for get so he can go on taking public money, I hope this time is different and the only people that will pay him are the sick types that like to collect "art" from depraved people.

How the hell does this jerkartist get so many

commissions i puke everytime I see those murals

at the 28th street subway station, poor crap from

the Beatles yellow submarine era.

Poor Dog, as Ustinov said "when we die perhaps we

are put into a room with all the animals we have eaten and they are pissed",or something like that.

Ya so when I was eight i was coloring the sidewalk with chalk and I stepped on a bird. I am mortified by this experience...I think ill go press release these feelings and ask for forgiveness.

"It's a fucking brute animal, for Chrissakes."

What a medieval argument!

That is the logic of animal abusers!

Maybe you need some compassion(meaning a progresive ethical education) but of course you will avoid that at al costs. It is all about values my friend! and if you don't see that... maybe you are doomed to "bully or be bullied" 'till dead.

The Guillermo Vargas Habacuc piece was a hoax, insofar as the dog was only chained up for a few hours a day and was fed. After the show they let the dog back into the streets. I think this is still pretty cruel and unusual.

I really like the Otterness sculptures around the city and I am sad to hear that he is such a terrible person. Getting a dog from a shelter with the intention of killing it is unforgivable to me.

He should try having someone shoot him for art ala Chris Burden instead--who know's, maybe Otterness' assistant won't be such a good shot.

Did he go to OCAD?

in case you somehow missed comment number 1:

Asshole.

seriously, what the fuck is art about killing something, especially cruelly (a gun shot is admittedly more humane than starvation)? there is no valid answer. none. i hope habacuc fucking gets his soon.

and no, i do not eat anything that came from a killed animal, so stfu already.

and edgar (#26), you must be one of the dumbest, least educated motherfuckers alive. we're all sorry your job in the mail room didn't work out, because at least that kept you busy in the basement all day. stay off the ol' world wide internets, douchebag.

The SPCA has to euthanize unwanted dogs and cats, and other animals, especially cows and pigs, are killed in great numbers for food.

I suppose the difference is the motive of the person killing the animal. For mercy, for food, or for art. Though the motive probably doesn't matter that much to the animal.

I don't condemn this guy for having killed a dog - and I'm not a dog lover or anti-gun or anything - but it's hard for me to imagine shooting a dog for no reason, or for artistic or entertainment purposes.

Intentionally harming another living creature for no reason other than the fact that you can says something about the kind of person you are.

that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc crap about starving a dog in a gallery wouldn't last a half day in NYC.

Luckily the Pope will be in town. He can ask him for forgiveness.

Why is murder a crime? We all have to go sometime.

i hate to burst your bubble, jacquemehoff (haha! IT SOUNDS LIKE JACK ME OFF!! THAT'S CLEVER!), but "murder" is the act of one human killing another human.

but good leap in logic!

awesome...i meant your catchy name...

really? how so, my good man.

didn't this artist shoot a animal? that's murder, my good man. I didn't say homicide, he murdered an animal.

I'm certain you suk kok. sucky sucky.

"JacqueMehoff"

awesome! HA

Thanks for equating killing an animal with homicide, JacqueMehoff. Brilliant.

By your own logic, I'm 100% certain you are a serial murder.

Get some perspective people - we're talking about one pooch 30 years ago. Clearly not this guy's finest moment but I don't think you can indict his whole character for the rest of time based on this one event.

With all the horrible stuff happening to humans right now, maybe we should keep our eye on the ball.

how would he like it if someone snatched his dog

and killed it for art.

anybody know his address, id like to pay him a visit.

NOT ENOUGH!

Unless he becomes an advocate for animal wellfare!
