Kitten survives after litter thrown from car window
quote:
MSNBC
LORAIN, Ohio - A man faces two counts of animal cruelty in two Ohio counties after a litter of kittens was tossed out the window of a moving car, NBC 4 reported.
A 6-week-old kitten was the only survivor from the entire litter. Police said the suspect is a police officer.
Witnesses told Lorain police that a man driving from Huron to Lorain was throwing kittens out of his car window.
The lone surviving cat was found at an intersection. Even though the cat used one of its nine lives, it didn't escape unharmed.
"When this kitty tried to land on its feet when he was thrown from the car, when it landed he stretched its arms away from its body, and that stretching damaged the nerves as it came from the body to its arm," said Dr. Thomas Wood, of the Lorain Animal Clinic.
Two witnesses trailed the driver and called police. During questioning, police said the suspect said he was a police officer.
The kitten is being treated at the Lorain Animal Clinic and is expected to make a full recovery.
I really do think the punishment needs to fit the crime. The kitten should be measured from head to rear and then the guy who did this should be measured head to foot. Then taking into account the difference in size to be calculated against the speed the car was going at and simply toss that fucker out of the car at a mathematically calculated and fair increased speed.
If by some chance the guy survives the toss, he should be banished from any form of law enforcement and spend some time in jail.
Anyone disagreeing with me on this I offer this perspective. The kitten was completely defenseless...just like your newborn child would be. You wouldn't be too happy if someone grabbed your kid and tossed him out the window of a car racing along the highway, would you? ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

Drowning unwanted kittens in a bag is a cliche', as much for its cruelty as the evasion that the person who does it commits by concealing the cats from himself before killing them. This guy, however, obviously had created a method that he found amusing.
There's a huge amount of statistical data correlating animal abuse to various sociopathic behaviors & personality types. Like a lot of other behaviors & mindsets, it usually seems to be learned:
"Evidence continues to mount on the ineffectiveness and deleterious nature of corporal punishment as a child-rearing technique (Straus, 1991). Two recent studies link this evidence to animal abuse."

They'll tend to have learned & believed that violence toward spouses, children, & animals is normal, expected, justified, & has no ill effects. Persons with that belief always underreport & underscale what they think is "violence", & even when there's injury or death to a spouse or child as a result of their violent acts, will view it as "they had it coming", & remorse will only be for being caught (or public results like death or hospitalization).
They're violent, narcissistic, & terrified. They generally conceal their behavior from public view because exposure would result in loss of social status. However, they've always got this sort of power play exhibitionistic streak of trying to see how much they can display in public without rebuke to do some social-ordering - seeing how hard they can hit spouses & kids in public before somebody says something, tormenting animals in front of a group that is expected to only be very distressed but won't stop or report them, throwing cats out the window on the highway is a new version of a screaming little terrified monster only brave enough to peek out when he thinks he'll be safe enough to dart back in.
When you see these things, you're seeing just the tip of the iceberg, & there's a whole lot they've done before & will do in the future.
