What can I say? The more I read about the abuse of animals and their loss of habitat the more angry I get. I want animals to have a fighting chance! I want them to be loved and cherished and recognized for the magical creatures they are.

Be it bears, wolves, raptors, walruses, pigs or even squirrels—I feel bad for them. I wish they’d develop ways to defend themselves against the stupidity of humanity. With the sixth mass extinction well underway and the next zoonotic disease pandemic on the horizon the future feels bleak. Can you imagine a life without bird song and bear antics? I cannot.

This is why I created this series of hand-puppets-cum-liquor-bottle-covers. To vent your frustration and act out your anger towards humanity I suggest you pick up one of my puppets and start playing make-believe. What if animals ruled the world and humans were threatened by them? What if they farmed us in factories and ate us? What if they went fishing for old, white, bald men? Who am I to colonize my squirrels’ backyards?

I suggest you have a drink while playing, so you can really let loose. Once you feel better you can hide your liquor bottle inside the puppet and pretend that the world is a good and just place. Just for a little bit.

These puppets are made from recycled materials because the last thing our environment needs is more waste. They measure between 12 and 16 inches in height; some fit pint-sized liquor bottles, others fit larger wine bottles.
