Police: Father Throws Pet Kitten Out Window
Man's Daughter Apparently Witnessed Incident
POSTED: 1:04 a.m. EDT July 18, 2003
LIVONIA, Mich. -- Police are calling a Michigan father's actions a

horrific
act of animal cruelty.

Police said the man threw his child's pet kitten out a car window while
driving on a freeway, Detroit's WDIV-TV reported.

The man's wife and daughter were apparently in the vehicle with him when

he
threw the animal out onto the side of a busy interstate, located just
outside of Detroit.

A witness driving behind the man said he was going at least 70 mph when

the
animal was thrown out the window.

"I observed that it was something full of fur. Then when it hit the ground
and I saw it roll ... and it was moving and in a lot of pain. I realized

it
was a baby kitten," said Francisco Solano, who witnessed the incident.

Solano immediately contacted police to report the man's license plate
number, Detroit's WDIV-TV reported.

"The investigator said (the father's) only remorse was that he got caught,
but he really didn't have any remorse for what occurred," said Lt. Ben
McDermott of the Livonia (Mich.) Police Department.

The father apparently told police he had to dispose of the kitten because
the apartment complex where they live does not allow pets.

Police are reportedly pursuing felony charges against the man. If

convicted
of the charges, he could face up to four years in prison.


awwww that's terrible! if people really have to get rid of their kittens in
a hurry there are so many things you can do... rescue homes, police station,
etc or even give them to a friend to rehome!!!!!!!!! or box them up and
leave them on someone else's door stop if you are that cruel, anything other
than doing such a thing! poor little mites :-(
