The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill is an art installation by Banksy.
Held in Greenwich Village in 2008, it marked the graffiti artist's first official exhibition in New York.
[1] The installation took the form of a fake pet shop and aimed to question "our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming".
The installation featured a variety of bizarre exhibits, including animatronic hot-dogs apparently performing a sex act; chicken nuggets with legs, dipping themselves in sauce; and a robot monkey wearing headphones, watching TV in a cage.
