The video of a food distribution company CEO kicking a dog in an elevator has gone viral and has some Bay area companies reviewing their relationship with him.

The video shows Desmond Hague, CEO of food distributor Centerplate entering an elevator in a Vancouver apartment building with a dog. Then he kicks the dog, a 1-year old Doberman named Sade, multiple times in the ribs. Later, he lifts the dog off the ground by its leash.

The video was recorded in July.

Centerplate is a food service provider for stadiums, including Tropicana Field. The business also lists the Florida State Fair as a client.

The video became viral after the incident was reported.

Hague released a public statement, saying: "This incident is completely and utterly out of character and I am ashamed and deeply embarrassed."

The Rays also released their own statement, calling the video unacceptable and disturbing.

"The Rays organization, our players and front office employees have deep-rooted involvement with animal shelters throughout the Tampa Bay region and are proud to support them. We have spoken to Centerplate and we are confident they will handle this issue in an appropriate manner."

According to the Vancouver Sun newspaper, after this incident was reported, workers from the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals checked on the status of the dog and found it in a crate in a puddle of its own urine.

The SPCA has taken the dog under its care.

Some local animal rights activists have called on Tropicana Field officials and the Florida State Fair to break ties with Centerplate and find a new food service provider.

"We have been made aware of Mr. Desmond Hague's actions," said Fair officials. "And we are currently taking this matter under consideration."

Centerplate’s Board of Directors recently convened a special meeting following the completion of an internal investigation and review of the incident.

The company released a statement saying as a condition of his continued employment with Centerplate, Hague will donate $100,000 towards the establishment of the Sade Foundation in honor of the dog he mistreated. He also will serve 1,000 hours of community service in support of an organization that serves to protect the welfare and safety of animals.
