Bizarre Fort Greene Posters Warn Of Trespassing Huskies

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — Small pets in Fort Greene beware. A handwritten "neighborhood alert" is claiming that a man with two adult huskies has been preying on smaller animals in the area.

The strange handwritten signs, posted on street poles on Willoughby Avenue, first appeared a few weeks ago between Clermont and Adelphi Street. They warn that a man standing about 6-foot tall with two adult huskies has been trespassing through gates, presumably in people's yards, to prey on smaller animals with his dogs.

"(The man) wears big clothes and hats to hide his features," the sign reads. "He has two adult huskies that prey upon small breed dog and cats, both domestic and feral."

The alert claims that the man and his dogs have come onto properties in the neighborhood with "malicious intent."

It asks neighbors to report him should they see him and claims the authorities are aware of him.

"Please be careful with your pets and call to report this individual," the poster continues. "They are aware of him and would like to stop him."

A spokesperson with NYPD, though, said there is not record of trespassing incidents like those described in the poster that have been reported to the local precinct.

The signs are far from the only time strange posters have popped up around the city. One photographer has even dedicated a website to the most unique New York City posters, including everything from someone who needed help finding "my marbles" to warnings to watch out for "pigeon netters" who were trapping and killing neighborhood birds.

Most recently in Brooklyn, a poster that appeared to be stuck on a subway pole asked the borough to help find a man a date — or more specifically "one nite stands only."
