A Mayor Willing to Walk the Third Rail for Animals?

Cago at Harlem Meer.  In order to save the rest of the geese in NYC, we might indeed need a mayor willing to walk the third rail for animals.
One of the big news stories in NYC yesterday was about two stray kittens who wandered on rail tracks and halted subway traffic for more than an hour.
.
Fortunately, the adorable, but scared kittens were later rescued and are currently at Animal Care and Control (AC&C). 
.
"August and Arthur" will be put up for adoption in a couple of weeks.
.
But, since this is primary season, it doesn't surprise that some members of media saw fit to put the question of what to do in these situations to five of the top candidates running for NYC Mayor:

Anyone reading this blog knows I have been undecided on who to support in Mayoral race as unlike other animal advocates, I have doubts about de Blasio.
.
(Interesting to note that while other candidates at least had something to say, the de Blasio campaign was strangely silent about the kittens in peril --- exactly the same non-reaction I got when calling de Blasio's Public Advocate's office about goose gassings in NYC!)
.
But, now with the most important issue finally coming to the fore, there is little doubt who to finally pull the lever for!
.
Forget about polls and forget about naughty text messages.
.
Any guy who will walk the third rail to rescue kitties is definitely an animal lover's candidate!
.
And its nice that Anthony Weiner has two kitties -- including one with one eye.
.
Hopefully, he also has a heart (though we never saw photos of that) for geese.  
.
Indeed, if any mayor can actually stop goose slaughters in NYC, its likely the candidate noted for going against the grain (literally) and never giving in.
.
Let the rest of the country laugh.
.
We finally have a candidate willing to walk the third rail for animals!  -- PCA
