Bill Burns, director of Safety Gear for Small Animals, is using a branch known as the Museum of Safety Gear for Small Animals to spread a message of animal rescue, relocation and rehabilitation. The itinerant museum consists of 19 scale-model pieces, including a trio of tents for bio-hazard, radiation and triage, a mosquito net, safety vest, flotation devices, respirator, visor and hardhat, all intricately made, with a message that is ironic yet still raises serious issues. The tiny scale emphasizes the animals’ vulnerability and brings a fresh look to the issue of animal rescue and safety.
