Ever since the early 1900s, dogs and cats in Brooklyn began studying the underground business methods of humans, and many began practicing them as an alternative to foraging in order to systematically gain food. Towards the end of the fifties, the animals of Bensonhurst began practicing two major types of trade.
This is the largest and most prosperous business amongst dogs and cats. There are several locations where meat and scraps are discarded (and also can be stolen) that dogs hang around during certain times to reap the reward. However, mobsters began controlling these areas within territories, so that they controlled the output of the waste from these establishments. Therefore, they controlled who had access to them. Whoever controls what you eat, controls you. Favor systems, contracts, and steady payment via food became common as the meat business turned nearly fully corrupted in the early sixties. Meat is transported, distributed, and granted to affiliates within a Mob Ring.
All fabric stores discard some of their cuts, and both dogs and cats have began using them as luxury additions to their homes. While this is nowhere near as large as an industry as meat trafficking, it still is popular in some areas where comfort is key to happiness. Mob Bosses themselves love to own expensive fabrics to make themselves seem successful, so the trade is growing steadily.
If you look at the Bensonhurst board, you will see the different trading posts associated with each area of the territory. Whoever controls these territories typically controls the trading posts, with the exception of 86th Street, which cannot be controlled by only one crime family at a time.
