I still haven't read anything that says his motivation was to protest starving dogs but anyway demonstrating isn't much better since he's still interfering with this dog and causing it's death.

When you're protesting starving dogs what dog is important because that group you're fighting for is made up individual dogs.

yeah, another point is that he might not even be protesting starving dogs, he may just be trying to cause an uproar.. which he's done.

are you ****ing retarded?

no, I did not. and it isn't - do you know what playing devil's advocate is?

Just because I'm open to the option that he may not be trying to make a point at all doesn't mean that I can still argue that he does have a point.

either way, to be quite honest, I don't care whether the dog starved to death or not. I don't mind if you think I'm wrong at all, whatever floats your boat.

Yet you were just running around calling everyone who cared about the dog hypocrites...

i am not being hypocritical, though.

theres a difference between acknowledging other possibilities and contradicting oneself.

Even though all along you didn't care?

Why do you pretend to care about things, why?

You argued about it as if you cared so forgive us for thinking you hypocritical.

He is trying to show how no one cares about a starving dog so he, himself, starves a dog? I can think of a hundred other ways to get across a similar message. How about he invites people to an animal shelter to show off all the animals there?

Anything can be ****ing art these days. Ridiculous. Let's slaughter some babies and called it anti abortionist.

Here's the thing though. Now I know you worked in a animal shelter so put that bias aside, dumb your IQ down 40 points and see it from this perspective.

You see picture of dogs in animal shelters starving. Its "sad." You don't do ****.

Now you see these pictures and are angry that he could do this for such a dog, you join a facebook group or whatever to shut him down. But wait. We missed the point a little.

He PURPOSELY wanted to bring this issue to attention, I'm not agreeing with his methods, but we certainly wouldn't be arguing over this **** if he just took some rich folks into an animal shelter now would we?

He made a martyr of this dog that was seen as a rat and now everyone is riled about it. Maybe, just maybe-and I'm going out on a limb here. Maybe we should take this message and not waste our time with petitions or facebook groups, and actually help out these animals not that we're aware.

2 cents from someone who can't sleep and seeing the bigger picture.
