Guillermo Vargas, Eres Lo Que Lees (You Are What You Read), 2007
Guillermo Vargas’ story is in a particularly sensitive vein, as it involves the supposedly-intentional starvation of an innocent animal. In an exhibition at Códice Gallery in Managua, Nicaragua, the artist bound a stray dog to the wall by a leash, leaving it without food or water. Spelled out above the animal were the words, “Eres Lo Que Lees,” Spanish for “You Are What You Read.” To add insult to injury, the phrase was made out of dog biscuits.
The gallery defended itself, claiming the dog was unchained and fed outside of exhibition hours, but that didn’t prevent international outrage or the death threats addressed to Vargas from streaming in. (Tom Otterness infamously shot a dog for art in 1977, but the incident did not become widely known until many years later, and the video footage has never been widely distributed.)

Someone one who thinks watching children die slowly of starvation is better than ending their lives quickly strikes again and demonstrates he just make judgements based on his herd mentality

Think about it this way: if someone walks up to you on the street and hits you in the head with a hammer, will any possible reasoning behind this action make up for the fact that you have been injured? It might in the eyes of the attacker, but probably not in your eyes.
Art, in theory, can be done in any physically possible way. However, something being art does not cancel its other properties - such as, for example, it being cruel.

Art is pretty much indefinable, therefore anything can be called art, but that shouldn’t be used to justify harming sentient creatures. If by calling something art absolves it from condemnation and legal prosecution then boiling a baby alive could be deemed permissible simply by calling it art.
