NYPD intentionally starved a cat to death in order to extort its owner into giving up her home

The NYPD Is Kicking People Out of Their Homes, Even If They Haven’t Committed a Crime
And it’s happening almost exclusively in minority neighborhoods.

1. Pigs and cows have the same feelings for pain and suffering.

People care so much about one cat and not about the billions of animals suffering. It drives me nuts.

I know I'm gonna get flamed. But, I feel a strong need to post this.

2. You can post your own thread about pigs and cows, you know.

You don't have to hijack someone else's thread to do it. And make people feel guilty in the bargain.

The NYPD is playing fast and loose with the 4th Amendment and kicking people out of their homes with very weak and possibly fabricated evidence. I have to wonder if some of these have something to do with rent control, but I don't see it mentioned in the article. Anyway, it's a real shitty thing to do.

8. Yeah, but cats don't taste good.

Pigs and cows, on the other hand...

5. These nuisance laws prevent women from making domestic abuse calls also

It's like the car insurance ads - "if you actually use the service, your rates go up."
Stupid and wrong that it is indiscriminately applied to innocents and bystanders. Like collective punishment.

6. Trump needs a new limo parking lot n/t

7. NYPD are racist errand boys for the Real Estate and financial industries of NYC.

And the people of NYC will not do a thing about this. They won't even object nor punish the cat killers.

Shame on those police, shame, shame, shame!
