A New York City pet store is closing its doors as \”failing policies\” are not protecting small-business owners from rising crime.
\”On behalf of Wagging Tails we would like to thank all of our loyal customers for their support throughout the years. We also want to thank you for choosing to entrust us with your fur babies,\” Brooklyn\’s Wagging Tails Pet Shop/Salon said in a statement posted to social media.

\”Unfortunately we will be closing our doors August 21st. This was not a financial decision but rather a quality of life issue due to the failure of our politicians and [their] failing policies destroying our city and neighborhood.\”
New York City\’s crime, filth, and state of squalor have made running a business untenable, said Laura Generoso, owner of Wagging Tails in Bay Ridge, according to a report.
\”There\’s no law and order,\” she said. \”I never thought I was gonna leave.\”
\”I have wonderful clients, and I love what I do. But it\’s not worth getting shot or killed.\”
Generoso\’s decision to shut down shop in Brooklyn was bolstered after an armed robbery spilled into Wagging Tails, she said.
With Brooklyn behind her, Generoso is headed to Boca Raton, Florida, she said.

Brooklyn Councilman Ari Kagan responded to Generoso by chastising New York City Democrats, including Councilman Justin Brannan, and blaming their policies for causing an exodus of small businesses.
\”His voting record proves he puts criminals over law abiding, hard-working citizens — in addition to the over taxation & over regulation of small businesses,\” Kagan said.
