"New Yorkers Care About Their Pets, Not Art" (Banksy and His Animatrons)
      

"New Yorkers don't care about art, they care about pets. So I'm exhibiting them instead."

I generally don't like art that preaches to me or tells me that I'm doing something wrong. But Banksy is one of the few artists that I don't mind preaching to me as he's such a clever artist.

His latest work in New York was a pet shop of freaky animatronic animal/food hybrids. He questions our use and abuse of animals as pets, for food, for clothing.
