I saw on the news tonight that a man was walking down a main street, when all of a sudden, he saw someone throw something out of a window. When the man got closer, he saw that it was not trash, as he had originally thought, but a cat. He picked the cat up and held it for a little bit, I guess the cat was meowing softly but not moving much. The man took the cat to the vets for treatment, but unfortunately, the poor thing died in the vet's office. Poor kitty, he was so cute, they showed him on TV. He was black and white with the cutest face and markings, and he didn't look that old.

Unfortunately, the man who saw this happen did not get a license plate number or anything. I was thinking that it was ashame that he didn't have a cell phone with him, so he could get the license plate number of the car, and the individual(s) involved could be punished for this unnecessary act of cruelty. I agreed with him when he said that if the owners didn't want the cat, they should have taken it to a shelter, not just throw it out of a car window.

I get tears in my eyes just thinking about this. I know this happens every day and all over the world, but it still does not make it right. They say that karma is a bitch, and I hope karma bites the ass of the person(s) involved in this unfortunate incident. I would like to see them truly suffer in some way for what they did. I need to stop watching stories like this, but when I saw it on the news tonight, I guess I was expecting a happy ending.

This makes me sooooo upset. How are there so many people in the world who can conduct violence against innocent humans and animals is just beyond me.
I hope that kitty didn't suffer too much.

It's rare to find a happy story on the news it seems anymore.

If someone doesn't have an animal they can care for-find a good home or give to the Humane Society or SPCA-but stuff like that is just nauseating.

That's what I believe too...but, I think there are people who must get off on this type of thing.

subhuman09 said:

It sure is, not to mention inexcusable.

Shows you what a sick world we live in.

I'm gonna hug both of my kitties now...

After I saw the story on the news, I said to my three cats (who are all former strays), "See, aren't you glad you're not on the streets anymore?"

applekisses said:

Why can't they find something normal?

Like s?

back atcha...it's so depressing that this goes on

psychodelicide said:

Awww
My kitties were strays when they were babies (there mother was most likely killed) and they were rescued and taken to an animal hospital where I adopted them

psychodelicide said:

It's not like it'd prove any point to throw him out a window either.

Just wish people would learn.

for !

I know, it breaks your heart, doesn't it?

subhuman09 said:

I do wonder if some people just can't be rehabilitated. I mean...how many people do you know that actually think it's OK to throw a cat out of a speeding car?


*exterminate the brutes*

applekisses said:

for adopting strays! It feels good to give them a home, doesn't it? Get them into a nice loving home that is warm with lots of food, water, love, and toys to play with.

subhuman09 said:

Me too, idiots who do this should have someone throw THEM out a window, see what it feels like.

psychodelicide said:

Mine are so spoiled...although, they were two weeks old when they were taken to the hospital...so, I don't know if they remember anything. Although, I defintely think they have separation anxiety.

applekisses said:

I agree, exterminate them is right!

psychodelicide said:

I'm so torn on things like this...I know that violence begets violence...but, as I said...some people I don't think are able to be rehabilitated...and I want to strangle them with my bare hands!

applekisses said:

Cats are so easy to spoil, aren't they? A saying I heard once is so true: "Pets leave pawprints on your heart."

applekisses said:

I know!

If it was an accident and the cat accidentally fell/jumped out, that'd be one thing, a sad story but this the physical act of hurting an animal like that is just too much.

People are desensitized by the news alone so who knows? I'd like to think the vast majority would teach their kids not to do this or at least have the sense to not have to do that to feel any sort of emotion, but there are definitely some sick people out there.

Natisse said:

that's SO awesome, Nat!!! My grandma was like that too

psychodelicide said:

That's so cute!

applekisses said:

really? for your Grandma ...I agree it's so cool! I love her for it
