Banksy opens "The Village Pet Store And Charcoal Grill" in New York City







Yea, that's a chicken nugget sipping BBQ sauce , Fish sticks in fish bowls, bunny rabbits testing cosmetics on themselves and Hot dogs in a dog pound.

Oh Yea, and they move


Here's his statement on the pet store:
“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. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art."

Banksy is a BEAST!!!! If ure in the rotten apple fo visit the "Pet Store" at 89 West 7th Avenue
