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."
