the village pet store and charcoal grill is another stroke of genius by banksy that is right up my vegetarian/ animal-advocacy alley. according to the guerilla artist himself,
“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals."
here are a few pictures to pique your curiosity, but you really have to check out the website.
