Food Terrorism: Attack by mice
Prepare to be grossed out and appalled by a restaurant owner's pettiness. A pizza shop owner in Pennsylvania planted mice in his competitors shops in order to get more business!Nikola Galiatsatos, owner of Nina's Bella Pizzeria in Upper Darby, allegedly planted mice in Verona Pizza. Galiatsatos walked into Verona's and asked to use the bathroom. When the owner went to inspect the bathroom, after hearing a noise, he found a bag in the ceiling and immediately turned it over to two cops who coincidentally were eating in the restaurant.
While the cops believed it to be drugs, they were surprised to find mice! Galiatsatos hit up Uncle Nick's Pizza immediately after Verona's and cops discovered another bag with five mice.
Galiatsatos was arrested and faces charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, harassment and cruelty to animals.
My two cents: Cruelty to animals seems a bit unfair--the mice were transported to a pizzeria! Cruelty to humans seems more appropriate!
What do you think? How far is too far when it comes to keeping your restaurant alive?

I agree. How in the world is that cruelty to animals? My dad read about it on Yahoo and was annoyed by it, as was I.
Yeah really, animal cruelty is the least of my worries with this situation! How about potentially causing food borne illness? Gross!
I saw a video of this story yesterday, and quite frankly, this guy went way over the line. I sure as hell wouldn't ever patronize Nina Bella's after seeing this.
Wow.
the mice might suffocate in the bag(if the bag was a plastic garbage bag, then they can suffocate/choke on that like a child) or if they don't find their way out of the bathroom into the kitchen to eat, then they could possibly starve
it would be like the equivalent to locking a child in a basement but in this case, hiding the mice in the ceiling.
Not to mention when they were discovered, they would be needlessly poisoned because they ARE rodents in a restaurant....
that is just wrong! ugh people like him need to be ...just UGH!
