Florida pair arrested for throwing kittens from moving car

FLORIDA -- A Bay County, Fla., couple was arrested Sunday after a witness spotted them tossing kittens from a moving car, killing at least one.

According to a post on the Facebook page for Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen, Christian Love McCannon, 41, and George Thomas McCannon, 45, of Fountain were arrested after a 911 caller reported witnessing a man and woman throwing kittens from a silver Honda Passport on Linger Longer Road off Highway 231.

 

A deputy spotted the car and pulled the couple over near Star Avenue and Highway 231. When he asked if they were throwing anything out the windows, Christian said no but did say that cats played under her car and she didn't like them because she's allergic.

"The 911 caller told deputies that she and her son observed the door of the vehicle open and a kitten drop out," the statement said. "A short time later another kitten tumbled out of the window. The caller stopped to help the second cat but it managed to run away. Deputies were able to find a crushed kitten in the same area and searched for the second kitten but did not find it."

Both McCannons were charged with Conservation-Animals: Causing a Cruel Death, Pain, and Suffering and booked into the Bay County Jail.
