TERMINATE CONTRACT WITH CENTERPLATE DUE TO CEO ANIMAL ABUSE
http://wtnh.com/2014/08/25/stamford-ceo-seen-kicking-a-dog-in-elevator/
The individual abusing the dog is the CEO of a food and beverage company called CenterPlate.
CenterPlate operates the concession stands in various locations (see http://www.centerplate.com/venue-partners/) , including the concessions of the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Rays response to this is that they are sure that CenterPlate will handle it appropriately.
In other words, the Rays management sees no reason to respond.
Perhaps the fans need to show the management of the Tampa Bay Rays that animal abuse is not to be ignored by boycotting the concession stands.
CenterPlate needs to kick their CEO to the curb fast. If not, those that use CenterPlate services need to act - not trivialize animal abuse as the Tampa Bay Rays management did.

Why is this important?
This case of animal abuse was caught on camera. Actions like this call for consequences.
UPDATE - http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11451785/des-hague-resigns-ceo-centerplate-video-dog-abuse-surfaces
The POS resigned, in no doubt due to the responses such as this petition.
But questions remain:
Why wasn't he fired by Centerplate?
Why did organizations that use Centerplate's services like the Tampa Bay Rays not show more outrage over this animal abuse?
Why has this POS not been charged for this crime?
Bottom line - this is not over.
Please sign this petition & others like it to show that this can't & won't be swept under the rug!
