00:00Please, if you can just consider vetoing the bill, and just let's rewrite another bill that's going to make everyone
00:07not feel the heartache, the pain, that there's so much pain behind this bill, and it's fueled by night class,
00:14animal rights propaganda.
00:16This bill has been floating around for years and never went anywhere, so why is it going somewhere now?
00:21This is not a humane bill for the humans of New York City that devoted their lives into this business.
00:27My father comes from Sicily, he's an immigrant, I follow his footsteps, and I can't believe this is happening.
00:33Mayor, I know it's in your hands, and God, please, Mayor and Madam, please do the right thing by us.
00:39Thank you.
00:39This bill calls to take everything that I own, that I have worked hard for, away from me.
00:46I came to this country 40 years ago without a penny in my pocket, and I have worked damn hard.
00:52And now you, you are never going to do this. I know in your heart you cannot do this to
00:57me or to my colleagues, to take away everything we own from us, even though we did nothing wrong.
01:04I reared my family here, I did everything I was asked to do, and this is the end result.
01:10If you told me the day I came here that the government would take everything I own off me, I
01:15would say it could never happen in America.
01:17If you told me the day I came here, I would say it could never happen in America.
01:18I would say it could never happen in America.
