Your characterization of the Vargas installation is patently false. Vargas did not kill the dog, but he and the gallery did allow that rumor to be spread. It was a hoax and at no point did he or the gallery starve or mistreat the dog. He merely wanted to give that impression as his intention was to "illuminate mankind as ‘hypocritical sheep’ by illustrating that a dog that receives no attention suddenly becomes important when it is put in a gallery".

It was later reported that the dog escaped from the gallery.
