Sadistic Driver Tosses Kittens From Moving Truck
(CBS4) FT. LAUDERDALE Imagine driving down the road and witnessing someone throw tiny, defenseless kittens from the window of a moving car. It’s a horrific thought to most anybody and it happened Monday in Fort Lauderdale.
According to Broward Sheriffs Office, witnesses saw a man throw three kittens about 12 weeks old and an adult female cat from the moving truck on the southbound entrance ramp from Oakland Park Boulevard to I-95 on Monday morning.
The kittens were hit by other cars and killed but the mother cat was saved after being picked up by good Samaritans who called police. The rescued kitten was transported to the Bayview Animal Hospital where it’s being treated. The cat lost all of its claws from trying to grip the asphalt when it was tossed from the moving vehicle.
The witnesses who will take care of the cat once it is released from the vet have named the cat “Freeway.”
Police have issued a “be on the lookout” for a white pickup truck with dark tinted windows and a Florida tag number R78 6IZ.
If you have any information regarding the car please call Broward County Crimestoppers at 954-493-TIPS or call Feline -n- Feathers in South Florida Animal Rescue at 954-943-5455.
