A very unusual pet shop has opened in New York. Everybody that goes inside looks so shocked. The animals in the shop are behaving very weirdly. For example, there is a monkey that watches TV all day. But none of them are real, because it is actually an art exhibition. The animals there may all look very cool but there is also a serious side about them all too. This exhibition is to make people think about our relationships with animals and how we treat them. Fish strips in a goldfish bowl might represent that lots of people love keeping fish as pets but also thinks its ok to eat them. Banksy, the shops owner said "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."

indeed we have to start treating animals well, they are things that live too, like us. it's so not fair when we live good and they live bad, tortured, or killed by us.
GOOD POST!
