"The Black Cat" Appreciation Thread

[ryan]

I'm almost 0 sure that the cat is sadly dead. A fucking retarded security guard stomped on the cat's stomach before it left through the other exit. I'm sure it didn't survive a stomp on it chest from a big fat piece of shit security guard. That asshole should be fined.

Sent a request to MLSE to have it investigated. I'm sure they'll not give a flying fuck though.

I wasn't able to make the game, but if ever an incident cried out for the old "Sign him up, sign him up, Mariner sign him up" chant, this was IT!!! lol. Tell me someone sang it?

And yeah, that black cat symbol of futility idea is one of the best I've heard so far!!!!

tried to (in 112) but I guess it's not in the songbook so it didn't catch on

[leafsman]

thanks for my new twitter profile pic lol

[TFCRegina]

If the cat was also really stomped on the chest (and I really hope it wasn't) it would be a fitting metaphor for supporters of this club.

But Animal Cruelty is no joke. Not cool. Not at all.

[TFCRegina]

You can complain to TFC about this here: http://www.mlse.com/contactus_venues.aspx

Email them and lodge the complaint over this. If enough people do it, we can get something done about it.

Two things as that is a VERY serious allegation.

a) Did you see this yourself or was it just reported to you by somebody?

b) Could you or any person who saw the incident you said point out the security guard if you saw him again?


Either the Humane Society or the OSPCA would be VERY interested I'm sure if you could corroborate this information.


A report to MLSE is useless. Frankly, if this did occur, the OSPCA should be called in and the twerp should be charged.

Should be arrested if true.

Why the fuck does he have to stomp on a cat for?!? It just wanted to get the hell out of the stadium.

The BMO cat tweets are friggin hilarious

It actually looks worse on them for ignoring the report first and would help anger OSPCA.

I took care of phase one, who's up next?

@metalmatt91 - Our security and stadium managers have investigated this story and have found no evidence of it whatsoever. It seems the cat simply got away. Our common practice when we find stray animals is to secure them safely and take them to the nearby shelter you've mentioned. We are actively looking for the cat to do just that, however with CNE ongoing it's difficult. Our stadium staff found a kitten two weeks ago that may be related. They carried it to the shelter with great care.

I saw it with my own eyes. Here's what happened. My friend and I were standing in section 111 when we saw the cat run by the ball carriers, the whole time we followed the cat and as it tried to exit the stadium, it ran to the away supporters exit I *almost certainly* saw the guard stomp on the cat so I turned to my friend and he said "Did that guard just stomp on the cat?!?" and we were just so shocked, hopefully someone else saw it too. Glad that you guys care though

cats are very quick, and this one obviously wasn't going to stop for anyone, how is a "fat" security guard able to stomp on it? why would he even bother if it's nearly out of the stadium, who wants a dead cat on their hands? if he did kill it, I'm sure people would've seen a dead cat..

Really? At the CNE, with all the various knooks and crannies...at night.....someobdy is going to see a dead cat?



Meh.........if he saw it, he should report it to the OSPCA. MLSE is NOT the ones to investigate this.

[Frings22]

I'm not saying he died for sure but from my experience, animals usually die from things like that. What I'm almost sure about is the stomp.

[nonc]

I completely agree, if he knows what he saw and it was in fact as malicious as described, he should report it to give OSPCA a chance of holding TFC accountable for their employee's actions. Because this goes way beyond personal taste, it is simply an illegal action, particularly intolerable at a family-friendly venue.

The SQUIRREL put the cat to SHAME!

I hope this is true, that would be great news. I just hope TFC didn;t lie to cover their backsides when Animal Welfare called
