In the latest crazy cat lawsuit, a Queens veterinarian is suing Animal Medical Center in Manhattan for euthanizing her cat against her will... and while she watched! According to the Daily News, 58-year-old Shelley Gale's cat Joey was undergoing surgery last summer on a chest tumor, and being a pet oncologist herself, she outlines in a 25-page complaint what exactly happened.
Vet Sues Animal Hospital For Killing Cat
Bullied Baby Falcon Is Adorable
Will the pigeon bullying story be a plot line in an upcoming 30 Rock? The NY Post talked to Morgan Pitts, who rescued the baby falcon from the gang of birds in Greenpoint; he's an assistant prop master at the show, and his first course of action was to bring the little one over to Silvercup Studios, where a friend's wife at the Animal Medical Center was called. The American kestrel has been named Alice Cooper for the markings around its eyes (a moniker that's bound to toughen it up), and it's sex is not yet known—one of the vets saying, "I love this bird. He or she is so cute." Agreed.
Police Dog Injured In The Line Of Duty
A three year old German Shepherd dog on the NYPD's K-9 unit was seriously injured when he was literally sniffing out a suspect. Ranger and his handler, Police Officer Neal Campbell, were looking for Ivan Boston, a felon who was suspected of violating his parole. They entered Boston's apartment, and the floor was filled with broken dishes and glass. Boston refused to appear, so Ranger went into a bedroom by himself. Boston had been hiding under a mattress and Ranger found him, but cut his left foreleg on a mirror in the process. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, "[The police dogs] go by themselves into dangerous situations. That's why we use them - to protect our other officers."
