Noone would know his name if it were not for all the protests. I think to starve a dog to death that way is sick as well, but I have actively avoided joining these petitions against him because its clear that this is what he intended.

But what I know is that letting a poor dog starve to death, for whatever reason, will never educate the people, or help any cause in the world.

I think that another message that he might be trying to get across is the suffering of the PEOPLE of Mexico. So many are suffering and starving on the streets, much like the dog in the exhibit. While the animal struggles and fights desperately for food, immigrants are trying to get out of their starving country and into the US, towards prosperity and opportunity. By denying them access to this only hope of life, the immigration laws are like the leash holding them back. Most people dont realize how inhumane this is, until given a much smaller scale example, like this exhibit. Our hearts instantly go out to the dog in pity and outrage, but why not for the population of Mexico? I think this is why the artist considered the reactions of the viewers as part of the piece. Because it shows how horrible these innocent people are being treated, and lets us know that we SHOULD be outraged by it. I can only imagine how apologetic and sorry he felt to the poor animal for chaining it to its doom. whenever I heard about this, I was only given some of the facts and I inferred a much greater message about this exhibit than animal cruelty.
