Banksy, a street artist from Bristol, opened a fake pet shop in NYC. This installation is titled "The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill", featuring chicken nuggets with legs (my favourite), moving hot dogs, a rabbit with pearl necklace, leopard and etc.

According to Independent, Banksys offered a written explanation for the installation: "New Yorkers don't care about art, they care about pets. So I'm exhibiting them instead."
