Urban Fur: Eden Under The L.I.E.
Filed under: 11101, Long Island City, Long Island City Queens, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy, Urban Fur
As I noted yesterday I took a sojourn around Dutch Kills. My buddy at Newtown Pentacle had this to say:
Ain’t it grand?
Well, its own in a way, it is. Usually one thinks of this industrial part of our fair city as being totally bereft of nature. This is not true. There is flora and fauna to be found there— provided one knows where to look. I happened upon the above-depicted gaggle of geese ducks while crossing the Hunters Point Avenue Bridge. Further along the 51st Avenue I happened upon a couple of gardens in the least expected of places. Gardens whose groundskeepers seem to be of the feline variety. Enjoy!
From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: India Street Cats Poisoned?
Filed under: 11222, Asshole, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
I have received word that someone has attempted— and in one case, succeeded*— to poison the feral cats who call the end of India Street their home. If any of you, dear readers, see suspicious activity please call the police. Otherwise here’s what a commenter in the know has to say about animal abuse:
Poisoning Cats in New York State is a Felony
Punishment for this crime is 2 year in prison and/or a $5,000 fine
