NYMAG ARE BLOCKING ACCOUNTS, TAKING DOWN POSTS, DISABLING COMMENTS AND IGNORING EMAILS DEMANDING CLARITY ON LUCKY’S SAFTEY.

————————————

Details :

NYMAG recently published the article of an active animal abvser, who details how she neglects her senior cat ‘Lucky’.

[Within the article, the author describes how she starved Lucky until she ate houseplants in desperation, denied her water until her last source was drinking from a toilet, shoving Lucky and leaving windows open in hopes the cat would fall out and die.

She continuously repeats how she hates Lucky, excusing the abvse as a postpartum reaction of having a baby. She makes light of her abvse throughout the article, showing little guilt for her actions.]

The article posted by the Cut concerning Lucky the cat is honestly disturbing to read. The apathy in which the author describes her treatment of her innocent pet, the casualty in which she jokes about hoping her cat dies (“call it voluntary catslaughter”), the halfhearted conclusion stating simply that she’ll “shut the window” is all very unsettling.

Yes, the author is clearly suffering from PPD. I hope sincerely that she can seek help and that she and her infant can thrive. However, while PPD is an explanation, it does not make the environment any less unsafe for Lucky. No living animal deserves the conditions Lucky has been subjected to. She deserves a loving home with owners who take care of her health and safety.

It is deeply disappointing that The Cut has not stepped to address the situation and work to help remove the cat from an abusive and neglectful situation. It’s just as disappointing that they have been actively avoiding the situation, limiting comments, blocking individuals who have spoken publicly, and largely ignoring the public backlash.

I encourage you to visit the Instagram account lucilleherescuecat who has covered this story closely and has compiled a list of resources to help advocate for lucky, including an email template and list of individuals to reach out to at nycmag. Additionally, you can sign the petition at change .org calling for the Cut to provide an actual update on the condition of Lucky.

I hope that the original author of the article will do the humane thing and allow her cat to be rehomed for the health and safety of everyone involved.

🚨PLEASE HELP SAVE LUCKY THE CAT FROM HEARTBREAKING ABUSE AND NEGLECT, AND STOP A MAJOR PUBLICATION FROM PROFITING OFF OF ANIMAL ABUSE🚨

Back in August, The Cut (@thecut), an online division of New York Mag (@nymag), published a story by an anonymous woman who, after giving birth to her baby, started to despise her cat Lucky and chose to abuse her, including starving her and leaving her to live in filth.

Some selections about Lucky from the article:

Obviously, openly admitting to chilling animal abuse did not go over well with The Cut's readers. People were rightfully outraged at both the anonymous writer and the magazine for publishing the article and profiting off of animal abuse. After the predictable backlash, The Cut put the article behind a paywall and added an editor's note to the beginning, claiming that they confirmed the welfare of the cat prior to publication. (Here is an archived version without the paywall. Look at a more recent capture to see the note that was added.) The magazine also made a post to their Instagram about the situation, reiterating their claim of confirming Lucky's safety and health. They are limiting comments on their socials to remove comments that relate to the backlash about Lucky's abuse, and they are blocking accounts that comment on it. A screenshot of the Instagram post is below.

(note: I cannot confirm or deny the claims of racism and misogyny. I have not seen anything like that myself, but someone on reddit claimed they saw a person call the anonymous woman's behavior "white woman bullshit." That is the extent of what I have heard on that. I also cannot comment on the claims of abuse and threats towards the staff).

Clearly, The Cut's claims about Lucky's welfare are bullshit. The resolution of the article ends with the author saying simply "I haven't fallen back in love with Lucky, but it could still happen. I'll shut the windows til then." According to the article itself, Lucky is still in the home with an owner who is abusing her, an owner who has, and I quote, "an unwillingness... to change anything about (the abuse)." By definition, this means Lucky's welfare is not being probably cared for. You cannot claim that Lucky is ok when her owner already said that she is abusing her and is unwilling to stop the abuse. New York Mag is hiding behind activism buzzwords to protect an animal abuser and shelter themselves from the justified backlash to their publication's choices so they can continue to profit off of animal abuse.

Please please please help to get a real update about Lucky's condition.

What can I do?

There is a change.org petition requesting a real update about her, which as of writing has over 17,000 signatures. You can also reach out to the magazines' staff and demand a real update from them. Their emails are listed below:

swati.sharma@voxmedia.com | bill.carey@voxmedia.com | lauren.starke@voxmedia.com | priyanka.mantha@voxmedia.com | amani.orr@voxmedia.com | lindsay.peoples@nymag.com | rachel.bashein@nymag.com | jen.ortiz@nymag.com | marisa.carroll@nymag.com | evan.murray@voxmedia.com

The email of Jim Bankoff, the Chairman and CEO of vox media (which owns New York Mag) is bankoff@gmail.com

Here is an email template that you can follow.

You can also report online animal abuse to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) here.

If you are in New York, you can contact the 311 website or call 1-800-577-TIPS (1-800-577-8477) to report ongoing online animal abuse or neglect.

The Instagram account @lucilletherescuecat has a story highlight where she has posted several resources in addition to the ones mentioned here.

My heart deeply aches for poor Lucky, who cannot understand why the human she loves has changed so drastically. Why her life changed from daily brushies and pillow snuggles to being ignored and starved. She used to have her own space heater, and now she doesn't even have water. I'm devastated at the thought of how heartbroken and miserable she must be. Her owner even admitted that she would be in jail if she did this to a person. While I doubt this will result in a jail sentence, we can at least make sure that Lucky is rehomed to place where she is properly cared for.

Please share and encourage others to do the same, using the #SAVELUCKYTHECAT hashtag. Thank you so much for reading.

Completely neglecting and abusing your cat to a point where it develops depression is absolutely loathsome

It’s sickening how someone can just leave their cat without clean water in its bowl and then it has to resort to drinking toilet water and eating house plants, which caused the poor thing to get sick (wow what do you know), and then deliberately leaving your window open, hoping that it will one day jump out and leave you forever

I acknowledge the struggles of postpartum anxiety/depression, but that should not be an excuse to basically abandon your cat, ESPECIALLY since it’s one that you’ve had years before you had your firstborn

No I didn't forget Mickey's birthday, why do you ask?

While his friends love nothing more than to give Mickey the fanfare he deserves, they tend to overlook the fact he doesn't really care for that sorta thing...

BONUS:

Nevertheless, they manage anyway and he can't help but be grateful to have such a great family ^^)

I was in a major car accident yesterday (got t-boned) and was very luckily a) alone in the car, as the passenger side got walloped and b) not injured. However I took care of everything and then went home and proceeded to sleep for 19 out of the following 24 hours.

Finally have a Patreon

Hi everyone,

I apologize about the delays on the next chapter of Yuuto and Léandre. Sincerely, a lot of situations popped up out of nowhere-- bills going higher, less people coming to cons to help said bills, and my cat eating damn thread so she needed emergency surgery :( So, I'm struggling a bit financially.

Therefore, I've recently started a patreon so that I can, hopefully, make time to finish the next part of the comic and create more in the future.

If you're able, here's the link to my patreon. I'm trying to draw all requests given on there right now and I really could use the help. Plus, there's a peak of the next chapter and doodles I haven't posted before.

Again, I'm sorry for the delays and having to put art behind a paywall. I prefer my art to be free just because I love sharing it. I wouldn't do this if circumstances weren't dire :(

Thank you for reading, I hope to be back very soon

so I like looking through housing listings for entertainment and honestly something I've noticed is that if you can get that initial 10% the mortgage for a decently sized place can be cheaper than rent for much shittier places
