ok the first thing is that this was a gallery in nicaragua and there arent only animals but also people starving around the corner. it's not like he kidnapped ome boy' dog-- and the kid who got paid for catching the dog were probably happy to be able to buy a meal (or glue to sniff) with the reward.
another thing you're missing is the point that the sandinista hymn was playing backwards on the installation. a comment on ortega' 2nd term in the nicaraguan presidency?
and the dog was named after a burglar who was torn to pieces by rottweilers-- in the name of property rights.
i mean im not a communist, but when you have rich people surrounded by starving mases, shit is going to happen.
about you and your brother, i didnt understand what you said.
who did what to whom?
