Great footage from the strange and bizarre Village Pet Store

I think this is one of the best videos of Banksy’s Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill.
Here at Banksy Posters, we like to have a hoedown on a Monday morning, so the music is just perfect!
The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. From Banksy: New Yorkers dont care about art, they care about pets. So Im 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.”
