Ugliest rat found in NYC subway
ALBUQUERQUE, July 18 (UPI) -- Albuquerque's mayor has ordered a flood control tunnel sealed because of satanic writing and a dead cat inside.
"This is far too dangerous and frankly spooky," Mayor Martin Chavez said while pointing to a blood-smeared wall perhaps 100 yards inside a dark tunnel.
He ordered city workers to inspect and barricade any similar tunnels, which honeycomb city.
The scene was discovered after a 10-year-old boy found his pet cat dead nearby, the Albuquerque Journal reported Friday.
"We don't have a lot of flood control tunnels of this size. But as a result of this, each one of them will be investigated," Chávez said.
The father of the shaken boy said he is offering a $10,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the people who killed the cat. The money would come from "my own funds," he said.
