Poverty
The idea of painting an elephant with the same colours of the wallpaper was Banksy's
way of telling the world that we have a huge problem of poverty on our hands,
but we fail to see it. Similar to having an elephant in our living room, and yet, not
realising it.
Animal rights activists were outraged, but screw them. I've seen enough elephants
to know that the elephant is totally comfortable. And the paint does not harm it.
Very good natured chap I must say.
