VOICE YOUR CONCERN OVER ANIMAL
CRUELTY - MESSAGE FROM TONY
Guillermo Habacuc Vargas: We received a letter drafted by someone who obviously felt passionately about this subject. I feel strongly enough to ask Liz to include the Ministerio de Cultura de Costa Rica contact details below on the site - please look into these allegations and perhaps write something yourself. At least Google the artist and check his "artwork" out - there's a YouTube piece that includes the "exhibit" itself and it's heartbreaking. For myself, I find deliberate cruelty to animals abhorrent. All the Best, Tony Head
