‘Infuriating’: Cat dies after being thrown from moving vehicle, OPP say

Ontario Provincial Police are investigating an “infuriating” incident in which a cat died after being thrown from a moving vehicle.

Const. Andrew Gamble said the incident occurred on July 24 around 5:30 p.m. near Norfolk County Road 45 and Norfolk County Road 28 in the Frogmore area.

At that time, an OPP officer responded to a report a person was spotted throwing a cat from a white Ford F-150 pickup truck. The cat would later die.

“It is every bit as much infuriating as it is disturbing,” Gamble said in a video posted to Facebook.

“It’s hard to imagine we live in a society where someone thinks that this is acceptable behaviour. I’ll make it nice and simple: If you have an animal in your possession, whether it’s a pet or not, you are responsible for it. If you can’t be responsible for it, you need to find someone who is. Throwing it out of a window or leaving it at the side of the road, neither of these are acceptable options.”

Gamble did not provide any other information.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
