A Motionless In White gig in Scranton, Pennsylvania took a surprising turn on Sunday, as a fan was spotted in the crowd holding a golden retriever on his shoulders next to the mosh pit. The band’s drummer, Vinny Mauro, was not pleased with the scene and took to social media to voice his concerns.
“Seeing the dog in the pit at our Scranton show really bummed me out,” Mauro wrote on Twitter. “Unless your dog is literally deaf and blind and loves to be held in the air for 3 hours, don’t bring them to a show, headphones or not.”
This incident comes just a week after a dog ran away from home and found itself at a Metallica gig in Inglewood, California. The metal icons shared a photo of Storm, who was sitting in one of the venue’s seats, on their official social media pages. They explained how Storm safely reunited with her family the next day, but also reminded fans that bringing pets to shows is not a good idea.
Although some fans may have a strong emotional connection to their pets, bringing them to a live show can be distracting and dangerous. If you are attending a gig, leave your furry friends at home. That way, everyone can enjoy the show in a safe and distraction-free environment.
