In an era where a worker death is simply written off as the cost of doing business, it's no surprise that animals are being subjected to this.
Although the above post claims a stop work order is in effect, there is none as evidenced by DOB's own website:
Ain't gentrification at any cost just grand?

Ridgewood immersed!!! Building now feline-free!
These predatory developers are doing this because De Faustio gives them free reign to do whatever they want. Build higher and denser, make apts. smaller, and fabricate market rates and now kitty genocide (there's a name for a chick punk band). And the scummiest of all, according to this intrepid citizen, paying off dope fiends to do their dirty work and feeding their heroin or opioid addictions.
Primary De Faustio-groundhog and deer killer, vote Albanese to end this blatant corruption and festering urban decay.
Christ, like an episode of THE WIRE. This is what this majorly FUCKED UP CITY has become, completely SOULLESS.
The hilarious thing about this, and it isn't the cheeky way the last holdout got revenge on the scumlord by breeding and leaving behind a bunch of cats, is that the stupid asshole developer could have use those cats to ward off the rats that will soon dominate during the off-work hours. Schmucks!
Should have called Animal Control and sent the bill to the hoarder.
They were going to die anyway, at the pound or in the construction.
I'm surprised to read that the developer is a Hasid as Judaism has the concept of tza'ar baalei chaim, which translates as treating animals with care. If indeed the developer had the animals poisoned, he will have to answer to a higher authority.
I guess the previous tenants were lucky the developer didn't treat them the same way. Some do you know.
Won't someone think of the cats!!!
If the developer were truly trying to maximize his profits, I am sure he could have negotiated with the local Chinese fast food eatery and make good use of the excessive feline population.
A real Eco-friendly solution...
Who is the developer of this property? I hope the cats find a good home.
WHAT? THIS IS NEW? New York City is a padded cell (and getting more padded by the hour!), and the way this ravaged metropolis is mishandled with impunity should surprise NO ONE, especially when a mad, neo-feudal, neo-fascist, neo-Bolshevist, neo-liberal dictator is surpassing even the garden variety corruption, graft and endless greed of Boss Tweed (over a century ago)! And, I'M NOT TALKIN' BLOOMBERG, I'M TALKIN' COP KILLER de BLASIO (the bane of all formerly civilized society)!
To anonymous, they don't always get put down at ACC. There are rescue groups that take many of them and work daily to try and save animals from there. Look at Pets on Death Row on Facebook and you'll see how hard they work. I have one that was pulled from the death list by a shelter, and another that was transferred from ACC to the ASPCA mobile van system as I guess they figured she was very friendly and should have a chance.
If they had taken those cats to the shelter, many of them may have survived.
Animal abusers should be executed!
They were Mathews Model Flats - a window in every room, built for every man.
Never a foreclosure.
A formula lost -
Feral cats are a lot of work. I had taken one from these "friends of animals" people with good intentions. I took it to the vet who charged me over $300 for tests & shots neutering. Cat is OK for a couple days then starts changing back to feral, eating like a pig (and god help you if you walked near it when it was eating) getting fat, hissing at everything, attack my other cats and everybody else.
Some elderly lady begged me not to have the cat put down and took him in -A weel later that cat put her in the hospital.
Not all but too many feral's are really nuts in the brain and dangerous from inbreeding. Ticking time bombs even if you try to domesticate them. -like those 2 jackasses in Las Vegas living with lions.
Indeed, the majority of them would have survived, and there are many certified trappers who would have volunteered their time to do it for free. There is absolutely no excuse for what happened here. Someone should be arrested for this.
And for some of you heartless animal killer commenters above, grow up. Seriously. You're disgusting.
It is a wonder no one set that place on fire yet.
"It is a wonder no one set that place on fire yet."
Queens has seen an uptick of fires in the past year. Wait for it.
Feral cats do fine as they are - there are groups and individuals that do TNR and care for the colonies. Once they're trapped/neutered/released, they don't repopulate, and they're fine. Colonies tend to keep to themselves, and often die out eventually, as unfortunately outdoors cats have many enemies as well as illness. The one our family watches is down to 3 from about 8 or 9. They keep mice away as well.
Some ferals can be taken inside, but most can't. The poster who took in one should have let it back out or signed up for the TNR certification.
All in the name of greed.. these developers don't care about anything or anyone or even the neighborhood they are developing in as long as they get what they want.. $$$.. These cats could of been helped earlier on.. But his solution was to bleach them and try and kill them all? Sick and twisted this man really is.. Its ok the souls of all the animals that were tortured will stay in the building and Karma WILL come back to this man for the horror he had done to these poor defenseless animals...
