Members of the public watched in horror as a man stood on a west London bridge and tipped a box of kittens over the edge into the River Thames. One kitten was saved only because a bystander intervened in time. The other two fell into the water and were later found in serious condition, requiring emergency veterinary care.
Sign now to demand this man receives a lifetime ban on animal ownership to ensure no other animals are ever put in danger like this again.
Witnesses reported hearing the man say, "let them die, I want them to die," as the kittens were thrown from the bridge. This was not an accident. It was a deliberate act of extreme cruelty carried out in public, in full view of passersby.
The man later admitted what he did was "horrible," citing intoxication and personal circumstances as explanations. But excuses do not erase the harm caused, or the very real risk to animals if he is ever allowed to have access to them again.
When someone demonstrates such a profound disregard for life, the priority must be prevention. A lifetime ban on owning or caring for animals is the only way to ensure this cruelty is never repeated.
Sign the petition to demand justice for these kittens!
