Rome - Veteran Portuguese winger Luis Figo is under fire from animal rights groups in Italy after apparently deliberately killing a black cat, Ansa said on Saturday.
Banners lambasting the Inter Milan player were hung up near the club's training ground overnight from Friday to Saturday.
One said: "Figo, you've killed a black cat, the whole world is disgusted with you."
Another added: "Figo, shame for Inter, justice for the cat."
According to the Friday edition of the Libero newspaper, Figo deliberately killed a black cat that lived near the training ground with his car, believing it to be bringing bad luck to his team.
