Banksy’s Pet Shop in New York

Worldwide known British street artist, Banksy is in New York now and he’s doing more than just painting graffiti , or hiding. Banksy has just opened a new installation entitled The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. A surreal pet shop complete with animatronic animals and kiddie dolphin ride.It concentrates on the contradictory ways in which people see and use animals as food, pets, exotic beasts, and clothing.
