I feel so bad for this elephant.
They need water. To be in this hot warehouse painted without the ability to bath (as they normally do) causes big time suffering.
I don't care if it attracts Diaz and others to your party.
It's not cool (no pun intended)

So, I take it you've been to this exhibit then? And seen for yourself the terrible conditions of this beautiful animal?
I'm amazed that they've gone so far as to deny the elephant water.
I wish that I lived in California so that I could see with my own eyes this elephant's terrible suffering

Alania, Niya_Christine is saying the elephant needs to have enough water to BATHE in, not just drink. Regardless of if it has enough or not, let's paint your body entirely with paint and lock you in a room somewhere. I'm sure you'd just love it.

lol. it was on duty till 5pm and not in the warehouse to reside but outside...in an awesome back stage facility... and for all you concerned.. concern not! it was temporary and animal safe coloring..
the elephant was well loved and taken care for in closure to this.
Don't run around on rumors but rather ask someone who knows...

you silly silly people. the elephant is there to promote a important message about the enviroment etc. it was looked after properly, why would you straight away think it was mistreated. find out about a story before you write stupid messages. alania.x and shazammy your messages made me feel sick with anger, you know nothing about this so learn before you comment

banksy is an irony in himself. He became all that he hates long ago and is now entering dangerous teritory for most of his original fans. Especially with angelina jolie buying 3 pieces worth $400,000 from this exhibit.
I remember when he talked about being unknown and running from the police etc. I liked it when it was on walls, not canvases. When the first ones appeared i almost bought one for just under a grand that would be worth well over 5grand now! damnit.
I love his stuff but i'm older now and realise his is only one side of the story, he offers no actual solution but stands in a very easy popular corner.

you dont control who buys your work thats not the point if she offered you 400,000 you would take it and run just like everybody else would, so thats a stupid thing to say.
the one thing you cant say is i liked it on walls not canvases, as he does far more to this day on walls then he does in shows he has one or two big shows a year, but continues to hit the streets on a regular basis.
he does more to make people see problems about our world then any other artist i know he isnt super man so there is only a certain level he can go to.
im not even a massive fan i just hate it when someone gets big so all the idiots come out and slag him of with no points

45rpm, I think Alaina was joking.

Odd. I don't even remember making that comment. I think someone else was logged into my account.
I don't see why a comment about an elephant suffering would make anyone "sick with anger" though.
45rpm appears to need some anger management classes.
