‘Defenceless’ kitten dies on a stretch of tarmac after being hurled from car window

The RSPCA is hunting the cruel people who hurled a “poor defenceless” kitten from a car window and left it for dead in the middle of a road.

In the shocking video, the poor 10-week-old moggy can be seen taking a few steps before collapsing in the middle of the road and passing away.

The car where the innocent animal was flung from, a dark blue Seat Leon Cupra, initially drives away but then circles back to witness the dying animal.

The RSPCA is now trying to find those responsible for the “horrendous attack” and hopes the CCTV will prompt more people to come forward with information.

Inspector Rebecca Goulding, from the charity, said: “This video is so sickening - the poor defenceless kitten is thrown from the car and takes a few steps before dying in the road probably from shock.

“It was a horrendous attack, and I am keen to find the person who did this.

“The car seems quite distinctive - we think it is possibly a Seat Leon Cupra - so I am hoping someone may provide me with information about this.”

The RSPCA said the incident took place at about 4.30 pm on 23 August in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

The charity said they collected the incriminating evidence after a resident in Summerfield Road came across the dead pet and reviewed nearby CCTV footage.

Inspector Goulding said a vet who later assessed the black and white kitten found it had broken one of its legs and had a hernia between two others.

And she believes these injuries could have taken place before the cat was “callously” chucked out of the car.

She said: “An initial vet examination revealed the pet also had a broken front leg and a hernia between the back legs consistent with a blow between the legs.

“I believe these may have been sustained before the kitten was callously thrown from the car.

Latest figures from the charity show that seven cats a day suffer at the hands of humans and this increases during the busy summer months.

Inspector Goulding added: “This comes at a time when the RSPCA is busy asking for public support by donating to its Cancel Out Cruelty campaign so we can continue to help animals and investigate those responsible for such awful attacks.”
