Iirc homeless people in the Great Depression actually set up camps inside Central Park and the sheep that had been herded there for generations had to be moved upstate because the city was worried that starving people would kill and eat them.

I saw it in that Ken Burns doco about New York that came out a million years ago (sometime in the 90s). The guy talking about it was a descendant of the guy who donated the sheep. He seemed miffed that the city would move them upstate after "my family was so kind as to" blah blah.
