Re: Hamilton Park - Pet Free Zone Public Hearing - March 30, 6pm City Hall

Of course, there are things we'd all love to do but can't/won't because we have respect and consideration for our neighbors. I just don't see why compromise seems to be so out of the question for some.

I just don't get why dogs would need access to the entire park and why having certain areas off limits to them is so controversial. As long as there is a balance and I can sit with my dog in some areas of the park, sounds perfectly fine to me.

Such a senseless tragedy. I am pleased, however, that the JCPD brought suspects into custody rather quickly.

sounds like racism... maybe you're just not too "diverse" of a person. or maybe they just don't appear to be predominantly caucasian, like all the other bars.

welcome to the hood 1ststguy! too bad you never said anything about lucky 7s or white star. they have a rowdy/loud crowd there too that pours on to the street. duh. but maybe because that there's all "caucasian" people there and those are the bars you frequent.... what a jerk. leave those bars alone, or those people will go in to your favorite "white" bar and ruin your night.

im assuming you're a lucky 7 kind of guy. beach blanket bingo night is coming up. enjoy, buddy!


I'm one of the first people to call someone on veiled racism, but you're reaching here. There's nothing even hinting at race bias in the original post.

the entrance to Lincoln Park on Belmont Ave. is one of those areas where you don't need to move the car. I work in Manhattan and normally don't have a need to drive during the week, so usually I just park up there and leave the car there all week. There are signs for alternate side parking, but it doesn't happen.

Re: Lafayette Park: JC police shoot and kill pit bull after dog attacks child
#72
Home away from home
Home away from home


While I agree that something needs to be done to address issues of dogs at large and biting dogs and out of control animal populations in general, there are many case studies that show that mandatory spay/neuter does not work.

For one, you must realize that people who are allowing their dogs to menace and harm others, are generally not responsible, law abiding citizens. If they cannot manage to keep their dogs on leash, it's not likely that they will be in compliance with mandatory spay/neuter laws. It's also likely that those who are intimidated or effected by the law would simply move on to another breed that isn't effected (and believe me, your local shelter is already seeing rising intake for other types of dogs, being regarded as alternatives to pit bullsm, so they're already around).

Most often, these studies have shown that the only statistical change seen after the implementation of mandatory spay/neuter is the increase of intake and euthanasia at local shelters. They do not routinely demonstrate drops in incidents of aggression. The same goes for breed bans.

Plus, enacting mandatory spay/neuter means two things - low cost options must be made available and enforcement has to be implemented. At a time when Jersey City is in an uproar about tax increases, do you really want to add to that burden by subsidizing spay/neuter surgeries for thousands of dogs in the city and adding more employees to Animal Control so they can enforce this law?

It's a complex issue.

Re: Catch-Neuter-Release Programs Clearly Value Dogs' Lives Much More Than Cats' Lives

I don't get what your point is GP. What would your suggestion be?

And some food for thought - there certainly are feral dogs in Jersey City. If you want to compare apples to apples, ie. feral dogs to feral cats, it would seem that the cats are more of a focus than the dogs which goes to negate your original statement that they're valued less than dogs.

Truly feral cats cannot be worked with to make them social, friendly cats that will be comfortable living in a home.

I'm sure LHS works with cats that are shy or stressed or less social than some others, but those characteristics are not what makes a feral cat. It's comparing apples to oranges. Is TNR an ideal, perfect solution to the issue of feral cats? No. Is it preferable to euthanasia and currently the national standard in humane management of feral cats? You betcha.

The only cats that are TNR'd are feral cats, cats that are not social enough to be adopted. These cats have lived outdoors and developed resources to survive better than your average indoor cat. No one is recommending (to my knowledge) that friendly cats be put outside to live their lives.

You do realize that the only option for these kinds of cats when brought to a shelter is euthanasia, right?

I took my cats for their checkups/shots at downtown vet. Dr. Kristen Simko was an overall good vet; however I have 1 "mean" kitty and unfortunately she bit her. Dr. Simko assured me it was only minor and wasn't a big deal, but since it broke the skin the policy is that she had to be quarantined for 10 days and then go back for another exam to make sure she isn't rabid.

Pricing:
Wellness exam with vaccinations (distemper and rabies): $98
Parasite check: $36
Bite exam: $54

Basically just warn that you have a tempermental kitty and they will try to be cautious (I underestimated mine). On the plus side I needed some hairball medicine for the mean cat and they gave it to me without bringing her in since they knew she was uncomfortable at the vet.


Absolutely NO reason for your cat to have gone back for a 2nd exam. The 10 day quarantine is for the safety of the bitten individual (if the animal is rabid, it would die within that period and the person can then begin treatment). If the animal survives the 10 day quarantine, the person is not at risk for contracting Rabies, and there is NOTHING that a physical exam could have revealed. The only way to accurately test for Rabies is to examine brain tissue which they can only do post mortem.

I've never had anything bad to say about Downtown Vets, but in my opinion, they were clearly pumping you for more money because you didn't know any better.

I think it's pretty believable that Jersey City is the worst place to live in Hudson County. Jersey City, by far, has some of the worst/most dangerous neighborhoods in the county and is definitely more urban than the other cities/towns (not that urban is bad, imo, but usually people equate suburbs with better quality of life).

There were two dogs, but the latest article seems to be saying that only one dog (the one shot and killed) was being aggressive. Why then, the need to tranquilize and use a snare pole on the other...I have no idea. :/

Very sad situation for all involved.

Just a note that the police weren't "forced to kill" both dogs. The article clearly states that the second dog died after being restrained which is pretty standard for a situation like this. Ultimately, both dogs are dead, but the way the thread title is phrased isn't totally accurate.

Is this a trick question? I know the obvious answer is the people in SH want to LIVE in JC. Not wind up DEAD or like this poor GREENVILLE guy shot, paralyzed, and left lying in a cross walk at 8:30 pm. Wow notice all of the crime that occurred during the January thaw we just had? Can?t wait until sum sum summertime.

Here?s a question for you why do you think two gated communities were built in JC? Doesn?t it seem odd?

A Jersey City man is in critical condition, possibly paralyzed after being shot in the spine

By The Jersey Journal
January 27, 2010, 10:19AM


A Jersey City man was left in critical condition and possibly paralyzed by a bullet that "fragmented" his spine on a GREENVILLE street Monday night, officials said.

When police arrived at Grant and Ocean avenues at 8:30 p.m. they found the 39-year-old York Street man lying face up in the crosswalk, reports said. The victim told police he couldn't feel his legs, reports said. Officers found a spent 9mm round nearby.

The York Street man was rushed to the Jersey City Medical Center. Doctors told police the bullet was lodged in the man's spine and it could not be removed due to the severity of the damage. At the hospital, the victim said he felt nothing from the waist down, reports said.

The officers noted that immediately after the shooting there was a report of shots being fired at Claremont Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Jersey City police tip line at (201) 547-JAIL.


I think the point was that if you think that the ONLY safe areas of Jersey City are the gated communities, you must have a generally low opinion of the city as a whole. While I'm sure those areas are safer than other parts of the city, they're certainly not the only places you can live in Jersey City without "winding up dead". It's a city, it has typical city issues. Being informed and aware and using common sense go a long way to staying out of harm's way in many cases.

And gates communities are all over the place. That was just a weak argument.

Honshu Lounge on Montgomery & Greene!! My absolute favorite sushi place...decent prices, very high quality sushi and a great selection. When I moved out of downtown, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get delivery anymore, but I was wrong! Komegashi is also delicious, but definitely pricier...a nice place for a date.

If you're looking for cheap sushi that's surprisingly good, try Ashiya on 440. No frills, super cheap, and tasty. Not a place to go if you're looking to have a nice evening out, but good if you're just craving some sushi.

and IMO, Sushi Tango is not good at all. In my experience, the places I've mentioned, are all far superior to the sushi I've gotten from ST.
