CBS New York May 27, 2021 Subway safety was part of a fiery debate between the two Republican candidates for mayor. Fernando Mateo and Curtis Sliwa squared off Wednesday evening. Mateo and Sliwa not only fought like cats and dogs, they fought over cats and dogs after Sliwa said as the owner of 15 rescue cats he would also run as the nominee of a new animal welfare party, CBS2's Marcia Kramer reported. "When I'm mayor, New York City will have no-kill shelters. We are not killing our friends," Sliwa said.
