British street artist Banksy has released a series of new art around the city. Amongst them is a piece called ‘The Sirens of the Lambs’. A critical work that features dozens of wailing stuffed animals aboard a slaughterhouse delivery truck that has been driving the streets of New York’s Meatpacking District. According to an audio guide on Banksy’s website, the animals’ heads are controlled by a team of mime artists inside the vehicle. It also says that it’s either, ‘making some sort of comment on the casual cruelty of the food industry’ or forging ‘an attempt at something vague and pretentious about the loss of childhood innocence’.
