Shhh! Be Vewy Vewy Quiet: Homeless Hunting in Prospect Park

This post is for all you fans of farm-to-table sustainable dining: The New York Post reported that some hippies from San Francisco a group of homeless people have been living in make-shift camps in Prospect Park. They've been living on the southern shore of the lake near a construction site for the new ice rink, "where they poached the local wildlife using cruel hunting methods." What kind of local wildlife you ask? Squirrels and cute little ducks, just to name a few. Then they roast the poor things over illegal fires. Or for those who have been hooked on the raw diet fad (GAG ALERT), you'll be happy to know that some have chosen to eat the critters raw. We're talking some real frontier bullshit. 

Wildlife advocate Johanna Clearfield had this to say:

"It's disgusting. The city doesn't care, because it's the poor side of the park. This wouldn't happen on the Park Slope side or by Grand Army Plaza.

But the city is doing something about it Johanna, and by something I mean fining the homeless campers $2,100 for illegal fishing and killing wildlife. That's the most brilliant thing I've heard all week, and this on the heels of the debt ceiling vote. Instead of directing the people to a shelter or trying to get them help or a freakin' burger, slap them on the wrist with mofoin' fine. I'm sure they can pay it with all that cash they're saving by living in the park.  

In other Prospect Park news, you can save 10% off your gay wedding if you book the PP Picnic house before Labor Day, or save $250 off the Boat House. The package includes an instant wedding party who clean up real well and bring their own dinner. What a carnival of value.
