In the name of...
............love! Once more in the name of love!
It seems an artist Guillermo "Habacuc" Vargas sacrificed a stray dog in the name of... I dont know what.
Reportedly he paid some kids to catch the stray dog and leashed it to a wall at the art exhibition, the let it die of starvation and dehydration. He admitted it but explained that the dog was so sick it did not want to eat and it would have died anyway.
After public outcry the gallery stated later that dog was being fed and let to wander the gallery patio, and that it did not die but ran away one night.
I still don't know if the story is genuine, the sources are in Spanish and my net oracle did not yet confirm this:

But if it is true, and even if it was - as the artist claims - to show the hypocrisy of people who pass such dogs in the street without a single thought, yet raise hell when one is put as an art exhibit... even then I can't understand that man :(.
What do you think?

Should we stop in its name? Before we break your heart?

Thinking things over while you have a pounding headache and are otherwise ill is not something you do!

NOW I GOT IT.
And it was funny. I approve. (Yes, I finally realized it was the next line of the song in question)
Here, have a cookie.
