Banksy and his petshop
November 24th, 2008
Banksy likes animals but his Village Pet Shop and Charcoal Grill in New York is somewhat different. He's questioning our treatment of animals and “...our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming”.
Banksy's 'pet shop" features an animatronic rabbit testing cosmetics on itself, chicken McNuggets dipping themselves in sauce, two hotdogs having sex and more.
Banksy told the BBC “New Yorkers don't care about art, they care about pets. So I'm exhibiting them instead”.
