"Pets Lives Matter" by Maurii is a striking yet playful commentary that doubles as a public service announcement. With the phrases "Don\'t eat the dogs" and "Don\'t eat the cats," the work uses dark humor to underscore empathy and respect for the animals we share our lives with.

The piece taps into cultural debates around animal welfare, ethical treatment, and how different societies normalize what is considered a "pet" versus "food." By blending vivid imagery with simple, direct messaging, Maurii invites viewers to reconsider their relationship to animals and the value placed on non-human life.
