I just witnessed the grossest display of human atrocities ive ever personally seen. As I made my way off base right beside the La quinta, A man tossed from the passenger side window of a red GT Shelby Cobra with white racing stripes, fa kitten from the car into on coming traffic, hit the windshield of a car (to which didnt stop) then run over by the car in front of me.

No one stopped as this poor kitten struggled to try and hop its way from harm, besides me and a person in the parking lot rushed into traffic with me to tend to the kitten. Its Right front leg was hanging by a thread of flesh, and it was bleeding from the mouth and nose. Luckily the woman who was with me was a vet and said she’d rush him to her local vet clinic.

IF YOU SEE A BRAND NEW GT SHELBY COBRA, RED WITH WHITE RACING STRIPES, WRITE DOWN ITS LICENSE PLATE AND REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES FOR NEGLIGENT DRIVING, ENDANGERING DRIVERS, AND MOST OF ALL ANIMAL CRUELTY!

I cannot express the anger and grief i have at this moment. I am extremely disheartened and upset. I hope that kitten will pull through.

Law enforcement was called. A by-stander took the cat to a vet where the cat died. The passenger of the vehicle threw the cat and law enforcement was not so helpful in the beginning because there was no proof. I think he was more concerned with helping the animal he was unable to stop the vehicle to get a tag number. But the car was spotted at Weis in lusby. However the individual did not see the post until afterwards.
