Banksy's Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. NYC.
Interesting how people love/respect their pet animals but not the animals which they eat-as if somehow they are different?
Nuggets are actually chickens!
Tweety looking like a factory-farmed chicken.
Banksy recently opened his first official exhibition in NY as a fake pet store. He created robotic animals and set them in environments of his own design. The project addresses the relationship between humans and animals, and questions the ethics + sustainability of factory farming.
Mad props to Banksy (as usual) for bringing up such important issues and in such a creative+effective way.
