Do not Feed the Kittens, Dogs, or Pigeons

Just when I thought we reached the bottom at the Los Angeles Times Olympic Production Facility, our Tribune Boss’ dig a little deeper and drop moral down a bit further. Last Friday our humanitarians at the plant, Rosanna Noon and Craig Jeskey were informed that they would no longer be allowed to feed the cats that call our parking lot their home.

Management claims the cat food attracts pigeons, which have invaded the interior of the plant. Traps were set out several months ago with over thirty birds captured and set free fifty miles from the plant. Unfortunately they seem to be homing pigeons as they have returned in mass.

The photograph was borrowed from the Newspaper Kittens page on Facebook, this is a group of Times employees that care for and adopt stray cats from around Times Mirror Square. When I mentioned what’s happening at the Olympic Facility they questioned if this really could be true? Yes it's the truth!

So remember not to feed the animals that inhabit the interior or exterior of the Olympic Facility, naturally with the threat of termination hanging over your head if you do insist on helping the hungry animals.

    We can have [Happy] Boots, but no Puss'n Boots?

    What's with all these threats of termination? No locker visits during shift. No feline feeding.

    Is this from the Big Fig?

    I smell a rat-- Oh, no I'm terminated!

    No locker visits during the shift. No feeding the felines. What would happen if you fed the rats a fig newton?

    Oh, no I am terminated!
