Cats / Crime Kitten Terrorizm Hits PDX

Posted by Alex Zielinski on Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 2:14 PM

Brace yourself, baby animal fans. So — everyone.

According to the Portland Police Bureau, several kittens were thrown from a moving gold minivan at North Peninsular Ave. and Willis Blvd. early this morning.The van sped off, but bystanders managed to grab two of the three kittens (sounds like the other ran off). Of the two, one had to be put down after suffering severe injuries.

Potentially worst pie graph every created.

This inhumanity falls in the category of first degree animal abuse in Oregon, marking it a felony. Both the Oregon Humane Society Investigations Department and PPB are both on the lookout for suspects and witnesses, offering $1,000 for any information on the incident.

First Steven Seagal shoots a puppy, now THIS? Something's terribly wrong in the world of cute. And humanity.

According to statistics from Pet-Abuse.com — an online animal abuse database — Oregon animal abuse classifications released today, "throwing" remains at 8 percent of types of abuse statewide. The leading cause is neglect and abandonment, followed by shooting and then hoarding. With such a horrifying list of classifications, I hope to never find out what lies in the "other" category. Ick.

Personal to K: I couldn't help reading that as a typo since your typical Twitter post reads KIALA SMASHED.

OregonLive has video of the mewing kitten that survived - a little solid gray guy.

On a happier note, it also has video of the baby caracals that go on display at the Oregon Zoo this weekend!

We rescued at kitten that came flying out of a car last Christmas. Two guys were tossing kittens out their window over in the Lent's neighborhood. I can't believe anyone could be so cruel. I hope they find the motherf**ckers who threw the kitties in this latest incident.
