NYC Subway shuts down over...KITTENS!

[alp227]

The cuteness:



The story: "...for about two hours — amid what the Metropolitan Transportation Authority initially told riders was 'ongoing N.Y.P.D. activity,' before later saying that no officers were involved — service was snarled along parts of the B and Q lines as transit personnel searched for two kittens who had scampered onto the tracks. "

Kittens are the most precious thing on earth. IMOHO!

2. "N.Y.P.D. activity". NYC did just say the police were taking over the SPCA job. good job NYC police!

5. If kitties become unavailable, the intarwebz would shut down. Precious resource. nt

6. "No, sir. I am not moving this train. I might run over kittens".

Some driver (they have drivers\conductors, someone don't they?) deserves a commendation.

12. It is standard policy to shut down service if there are animals on the tracks

...even if they're not cute.
