From the New York Post:
Dear John: I'm writing to you about the deterioration of the lions at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue.
In November 2017, I was sitting below Fortitude, the lion on the right as you face the library. I noticed a large chunk missing from the left hind leg.
There is a crack along the backside and another chunk missing from the right underbelly. I reported this to the staff, called a number given to me and filled out a form. To date no repairs have been made.
A higher-up at the library came outside and took pictures. They know about the problem. I checked Patience, the lion on the left, and it has a crack up the back.
As of November 2018, Fortitude has gotten worse. Now a piece is missing from the front paw.
