“Art is optimism. Suffering is justified as soon as it becomes the raw material of beauty. I am not at peace: I don’t want to find justification for the suffering I see.”

Katinka Simonse – yet another weird artist
This is yet another crazy artist, cause more than art, what she does is 100 % abuse. She may give her idiotic reasons but that won’t change the word abuse to something else.
Katinka Simonse is 31 year old & she has been killing animals in the name of art in Amsterdam. Since it’s some form of crazy art, so she gets away with it every time. However, what enraged people the most is when she killed her own cat in 2004 & then made a handbag out of it.
She herself says that she receives hate mails from all over the world but that doesn’t change things for her. She hasn’t been charged by the police.
Moreover, she has also given some explanation as to why she kills animals in the name of art. Actually she uses her art to raise awareness against animal cruelty. This is some unique way of helping out animals – kill them & then raise awareness against animal abuse. I wonder who is she kidding. You want to prevent cruelty & yet you do the same thing to highlight the point. Doesn’t it sound madness? Just like that other artist who may starve to death another poor dog, even she finds people quite hypocrite who raise hue & cry, & don’t think twice while having hamburger or wearing leather jacket!
Deliberately inflicting pain on any being is unacceptable & what Katinka Simonse has been doing to animals is abuse by any definition. You don’t have to be an animal lover to know that. You just have to be human.
Anyway, this is the petition…you may sign it, if you find what she does is an abuse. Thank you!

Don't Let Another Dog Starve for "Art"!
Today I posted this petition on my animal blog & I think it’s a serious matter. In 2007, an artist from Costa Rica named Guillermo Vargas shocked the art world and animal lovers with his controversial "starving dog" exhibit in Nicaragua. No food & water was provided to the dog while he was tied to a rope in an art gallery. He was starved to death as the artist was trying to make an ironic statement about human callousness toward homeless animals. All I have to say is that if he really wanted to make an impact or statement, he could have taken off clothes & didn’t have food & water himself for days. He could have starved himself rather than the dog. This was certainly not art. It was an animal abuse & all the people who visited that art gallery & didn’t protest are as guilty as Guillermo Vargas.
If you’d go through the links, you would see more pictures & if you’re still in your senses, then you can’t see art anywhere. A poor dog was abused for days by an artist & there was no need. We don’t need to make an animal suffer to highlight a fact that everyone knows.
This is what I read about Exposición N° 1 on Wikipedia:
“Vargas stated that the exhibit and the surrounding controversy highlight people's hypocrisy because no one cares about a dog that starves to death in the street. In an interview with El Tiempo, Vargas explained that he was inspired by the death of Natividad Canda, an indigent Nicaraguan addict, who was killed by two Rottweilers in Cartago Province, Costa Rica, while being filmed by the news media in the presence of police, firefighters, and security guards.
Upon conducting a probe, the Humane Society of the United States was informed that the dog was in a state of starvation when it was captured and escaped after one day of captivity; however, the organization also categorically condemned "the use of live animals in exhibits such as this." The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) also investigated the exhibit. WSPA found the information regarding the issue to be "inconsistent.”
Anyway, the problem is that there’s going to be another such deadly exhibition. The Central American Biennial of Art has recently invited Vargas to recreate his famous exhibition using a different dog. We cannot let another dog suffer for this so-called arty shit.
Please sign the petition to prevent another dog from suffering in the name of art.

Words Need To Be Shared
Words are worthless unless they are shared, and soulless unless they're sustained by some life.
