Neozoon is an all-female art collective based in Berlin, Germany that produces graphic street art with the message that animals are not being treated with the respect they should be getting. In a previous piece, the group created figures of animals like bears, deer and foxes using recycled fur coats and placed them on various walls in public to garner attention; this time around, the group is getting more direct by showing animals actually being hunted. The location of the artwork is also significant; Neozoon placed a figure of a sheep near an old Parisian slaughterhouse, for example.
Neozoon looks to get the point across using a bold attitude, as O\one of the pieces is titled 'Don't fuck with the Kaiser.'
