Three eight-week-old kittens were thrown out of a moving car on a busy road in Brookhaven, Georgia. One kitten was found dead in the roadway. A witness driving behind the car watched it happen, calling the sight of tiny kittens flying out the window nonsensical and cruel. The two surviving kittens were eventually found, but not before enduring injury and terror no animal that young should ever face.
Someone capable of doing this to defenseless kittens clearly isn't in a healthy place, and locking them up alone won't fix what led to this moment. Sign the petition urging the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office to pursue a lifetime ban on animal ownership and mandatory mental health counseling in this case.
One surviving kitten was taken in by a local resident and rushed to a veterinarian, who found he had a dislocated tail and was severely traumatized. He had to be sedated just to get through the first night. The third kitten went missing for days before community members and local police found him safe in a nearby park. All three kittens were only eight weeks old, far too young and small to survive on their own near traffic, predators, and the open road.
Real accountability means getting them support that actually addresses the problem, not just punishment that leaves it unresolved.
A lifetime ban on owning or caring for animals would ensure these kittens, and any future animal, never end up in the hands of someone capable of this kind of harm again. Mandatory mental health counseling addresses what led to this moment, offering real support while making sure no other defenseless animal pays the price for it.
These kittens never had a chance to defend themselves. Sign the petition and demand the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office pursue a lifetime ban and mandatory counseling in this case.
