The Cruelest Pet Shop In New York

Posted: October 14th, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Cool Ideas | Tags: , , , , | 2 Comments »

Guerrilla artist Banksy has opened his first official exhibition in New York. The fake pet shop aims to question “our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming”. It even has to animatronic hot dogs simulating “intimate” acts.

Banksy said: “New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead.”

This is stuff that definitely makes you stop, laugh and think. I’m a fan.

    Is it wrong for me to feel hungry after visiting a place like that?

    That’s actually pretty gross. But I do crave McNuggets…
