MASON CITY – A caller reported Saturday afternoon that they had witnessed what appeared to be animal cruelty.
According to a report brought to NIT, a person witnessed individuals in a greenish-gray older model SUV throw at least two kittens out of their vehicle. The caller indicated that kittens were thrown out of both the passenger side window and the driver’s side window. The caller also indicated that the incident took place between McDonald’s restaurant and Perkins on Highway 122 on Mason City’s west side between 11:30 AM and noon.
“One of the kittens was an orange tabby kitten,” the caller said. She indicated that her grandmother saw the kittens thrown from the SUV and had tried to go back and check on them. She also said that police were called and that the orange kitten was likely run over due to the high traffic at the time.
A call to the Mason City Humane Society at 12:45 PM confirmed that they knew about the incident and were going to the scene this afternoon. Staff there said police were already notified and were going to the scene as well more immediately.
NIT is checking with police at this time to see if they have received more calls about the incident or a better description of the vehicle, which was headed east on Highway 122.
NIT checked back with the caller this afternoon at 1:20 PM and the source indicated that both kitten were found near the Clarion Inn and were hurt but alive.
Please call the Mason City Police Department at 641-421-3636 if you have information related to this incident.
Police: have you took the time yet to look through those cameras? Studer? It seems your a animal lover . These kitties and all animals need our voice. Too many times this type of thing keeps happening here and it seems to many people are turning away maybe because they don’t want to admit theres a problem. Please look through those cameras.
TO THE POLICE:
PLEASE LOOK THROUGH THOSE INTERSECTION CAMERAS AND LETS CATCH THESE PEOPLE! IT WONT TAKE UP TO MUCH TIME TO DO THIS. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE CAUGHT!
they can do it on their doughnut break
My amazing husband and I went out and found the orange kitty, and brought her home to our 9yr old daughter who had been waiting patiently for a kitten of her own for over two months. She has saved up all of her money, got a bed, litter, and toys, that have just sat waiting in her room until today…..when we brought home our newest family member !!!! So thank you to whatever loser threw those cats out of the car. Its your loss, and i hope you go straight to hell!!
Bless your heart for giving the kitten a loving home!
Good for you! I am sure your daughter will take care of that orange kid and give it plenty of loving.
It has to take a deeply sick person to do that to a defenseless animal.
I am on board with a vigilante committee for these freaks that abuse animals. Animals are helpless, just like children and depend on us to protect them. The laws are not strict enough for cruelty to animals so I guess it is up to us. I always say, do the same thing to these people that they do to animals. Lets see, lets drive down the interstate going 70 miles an hour and throw this person out the window and see how good it feels to them!
If your pet is pregnant you can go to the vet and have an abortion. It’s not exspensive and clearly is a better option than doing something like this.
Would throwing cats from a car be considered “kitty litter”????
I like the sound of this
No license plate number. We hope this story will somehow bring some more witnesses forward and contact the Mason City Police Department. They are aware of the situation and will pursue leads as they are brought forward.
Totally agree with you Peter. If this person does get caught more than likely a slap on the hand. We do need:) a vigilante . I’m game on
revenge is best served cold and quiet.
You want a vigilante do you. That ones easy. Call Todd Blodgett, tell him about this, I bet he will go hunt these bad one’s down. He is a gun nut that likes to scare people he don’t like.
No plate numbers yet..I wonder if there are traffic cameras at those intersections to get a plate number. There has to be more witnesses that had seen this happen. The sick individual that is responsible for this needs to be brought to justice …. or a severe ass whipping. Individuals that hurt innocent animals is likely to be some type of predator or murder. Carnal will come back to bite him one day ten fold
Carma not carnal. Lol
who has the kittens now? are they being taken care of?
Is there a license plate number to the SUV?
bastards who do this to small animals need to be locked up period.
I sure hope that someone is found guilty for this.
