From Supertouch:

“The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill” opened at 89 7th Avenue (between Bleeker and West 4th) last Thursday, October 9th, revealing what seemed from the outside to be a small West Village pet shop stocked not with purring kittens and wiggly puppies, but a more sinister menagerie. Inside, animatronic chicken nuggets, porno watching monkeys, coexisted alongside ageing tweety birds, swimming fish sticks, and suggestively writing caged hot dogs, in what can only be described as an entirely unique visual critique of the state of animal husbandry in the modern world. In the words of Banksy himself, “New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets.

ANYF1 | October 15, 2008
BTW .. it should be noted that this space cannot house more than 20 people at any one time and was designed to be cramping .. thus forcing a definite line to get in to see this "exhibit" .. good ol banksy sure knows how to do it ..*

SoloPoloVision | October 15, 2008
Yeah I saw this a few days ago, Banksy is a genius, this is such a clever project and pretty different for Banksy, pretty dark too. I love the idea of this cos no-one's ever really done shit like this before, I would love to see this for myself, I've never even seen any of Banksy's paintings for myself so this would be awesome.
EMiNEMLUPEKANYE | October 15, 2008
i love the fact banksy can do this kinda stuff but get still away with it, least his stuff has meaning, all hes gotta do now is reveal who he is
EMiNEMLUPEKANYE | October 15, 2008

Man Banksy just went up 20+ Cool points and 20+ Respect points! That is soooo genius and Brilliant ! And ---ANYF1----
Thats was a koo lil not on the exhibit "line design". See the man is street legend and apparently a marketing whiz!
What it took from it was one way to get society to be conscious of its self it through reflection.
