new yorkers used to see the graffiti on the walls of poor neighbourhoods and subway trains as an example of young people rebellion. the slogans were seen as aggressive, the work of vandals seeking to express their identities or even make a political point. up to the 1970s, most new yorkers hated graffiti.
since those days, graffiti has changed a lot and it is not longer found only in the subway and in the poor areas of the city. nowadays, it has the status of “street art” and you get graffiti in places where you would not expect to – in advertisements, on clothes, on toys, and even on the wall street journal’s official website! in the early 1980s, there was a real craze for graffiti art and the sophisticated manhattan art world had displays of street art in its galleries. then trend was short-lived – until the arrival of hip-hop music in the late 80s.
in her book, subway art, martha cooper says, “graffiti came back with hip-hop music and people are now appreciating it for its style, which they couldn’t back then, because they couldn’t get beyond the vandalism thing.” hip-hop was originally black music, sung by young african americans from the poor, run-down districts of american cities. when it suddenly got to the top of the american music charts, hip-hop culture was spread, bringing graffiti with it.
today companies are starting to use the appeal of graffiti in advertising. kel rodriguez, who used to spray new york subway trains, was the artist chosen to design the wall street journal’s website and it is obviously done in graffiti style.
many of this new wave of artists give lectures on developments in the art. lee quinones is having a lot of success in europe and feels that european galleries and museums are more open to this art form. “they want to support an artist as he develops,” comments quinones, who can get up to $10,000 for his paintings. indeed, the groninger museum in holland is one of the few museums in the world that displays and recognizes graffiti as an art form.
another artist, blade, has his own website devoted only to the world of graffiti. this website has ‘a page’ where blade sells things with his own original designs all over the world – everything from baseball caps to yo-yos! leonard mcgurr, a street artist for 25 years, went from painting subway trains to designing and marketing graffiti-inspired clothes for young people. “graffiti has been a story of survival,” he says. “there’s a way to benefit from your work without spoiling public property.”

Imagine you are alone on the street. You have nowhere to go, there is no one waiting for you or worrying about you anywhere in the whole city. You are so hungry that each movement seems to be unmanageable. There are hundreds of people going by, yet you cannot talk to them, they do not even notice you are suffering badly while lying here on a cold pavement, unaided, neglected, exhausted… If animals are able to think and feel which is quite possible, that is probably what numerous homeless dogs and cats you are passing during the day are experiencing. Is it fair though? And do we really have right to close the eyes to the fact of numerous living being suffering and struggling for life completely ignored and abandoned? I believe strongly in humans’ responsibility to protect those who are in need, and I claim that all humans have an ethical obligation to provide help to those who are so much dependent on us, to animals deprived of essential care and love.
These days millions of animals are stray, lost, or in shelters. Statistics of animals being euthanized or chucked out provided by official organizations is dreadful and, unfortunately, the numbers are rising every day. The problem of homeless and displaced animals is a huge one. Shelters today are overloaded. Domestic animals are left on the roadside doomed to take care for themselves. Pet shops and breeders carry on selling animals to the general public without considering the conditions or quality of life animals are put into after leaving the shops’ doors.
Most people enjoy taking care of animals. They even feel some sort of emotional connection with their domestic pets, treating them like rational creatures endowed with emotions, able to realize some facts and to experience sentiments. However, an animal we meet on the street we regard as being a beast, dull and primitive, deprived of any ability to feel. Just take few minutes to realize the dreadfulness of conditions they are doomed to struggle in. What if they actually are able to “think” and “feel”? Just imagine what they are going through.
Unlike homeless people, homeless animals have never had any choice. Most of them were either born already homeless or abandoned by their rightful owners. Animals that are kept in normal conditions never escape their homes. They cannot get addicted to alcohol or drugs; they cannot lose their job because of law-breaking practices or gamble their property away. Can they talk, or express dissatisfaction, or ask for help? They can only watch you passing by with those sad, hungry, sometimes wild eyes. However, their inability to express feelings, fears and pains doesn’t mean they have none. They need help just as any other suffering living beings do, and their being silent in no way means they wouldn’t cry for help if they could.
Most people justify own inaction by seemingly reasonable arguments such as “We cannot help everyone”, “We do not want to help someone unable to appreciate what we do for them”, “There should be some governmentally regulated system, spontaneous actions are ineffective”, etc. Personally I cannot understand how all those reasons comfort and prevent humans from providing at least elementary help. No doubts, the process of providing aid is much more efficient if being organized and systematized properly. However, it would be enough for one to get interested and to look around in order to notice that nowadays there are numerous nonprofit organizations that could harness one’s willingness to submit a helping hand to make the whole situation better. If being ready and able to help, you can face various options among which you are free to choose. You can make donations to official nonprofit organizations, participate in adoption programs, provide assistance to shelters, etc. – your choice will depend on what resources you own and how serious your intentions are.
We all have to finally look around and realize: homeless animals cry out for help, and we have to provide them with necessary aid. Humans should take care of whom they have tamed, since, as one little fox has once said “You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.” It is up to all of us to turn this world into a nicer place for domestic animals. Making city streets look better by killing off innocent creatures is just a way too cruel to be ignored. So shouldn’t we finally put our humaneness into practice and justify our right to rule the world? I guess we should, and that is our moral obligation.
