In an ironic event that may be called the mice revenge, mice are being held responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto.
The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption. An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze.
The $250,000 fire is still under investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office.
Apparently the rodents never heard the expression: Revenge is a dish best served cold.
This happened on Dec. 17, 2008.
Back at mouse HQ, the instructions sat on a table: “Liberate our captured comrades, THEN start fire to kill the cats”.
The hitman never made it back to mouse HQ.
“rats that were up for adoption”…WTH
