HICKORY, N.C. -- On Friday, Nikki Bradshaw got a new pet. If she ever finds the original owners of her pet, she'll have them arrested.

Bradshaw was driving on U.S. 321 near Ham's Restaurant at about 11:45 a.m. Friday when she saw a man in a black Escalade throw a burlap bag out the window of his car and drive off.

"I could tell by the bag that there was something moving in it. But before I could get over to it, four cars ran over the bag," Bradshaw said. "When I got to it, I opened the bag, and there were four kittens inside. Three were dead. By the grace of God, one survived."

Someone should put the driver in a burlap bag and throw him into oncoming traffic. Just my 2 cents.

The reason there are so many articles on animal cruelty is because people are more interested in them than maybe we used to be. It's not just that inhumane acts are harmful to animals, but also the fact that the people who commit the offenses are statistically more likely to harm human beings. I think the guy in the black Escalade is probably no sweetheart.

To be able to kill animals in such a way shows a lack of empathy in my view. Killing them for food in a farming enviroment is one thing, but killing a kitten for the express purpose of fun, well that is where psychopaths start isn't it.

Stupid jerk probably did it as a way to get back at his girlfriend for something.
*NEWSFLASH* "insert various profanities here*

Karmic debt is a biotch.
I hope you like meow mix cause your next life will be spent coughing up hairballs.

The universe does get it's revenge.

He may be driving an Escalade but his intellect has "Pinto" written all over it. What a freaking moron.

I'm gonna say one step below that..
"GREMLIN"




He prolly stole the Escalade.

lol my sister used to drive a Gremlin, she was pure hell in that thing. Vrrrrooom lmao. And me I used to have the Pinto ROFL. And not just any Pinto, it was blaze orange, I kid you not... and it even had orange interior. The interior was COMPLETELY orange, the carpets - seats - dash - headliner, all of it. It truly was a pumpkin on wheels. Oh and it had a sunroof. I ended up selling that car for five hundred bucks to a dude that made it into a race car.

Sorry off topic...

Heck yes we should.

People are so cruel, it seems that we never take the time to consider the feelings of the kittens (in speaking from the guys Point of view) before we thow them out to the road. I wouldnt want to be thrown out of a car with the intent of being run over why would I do that to something else? People are disgusting.

I was driving down a country road oneday, and a freaking cat came from the backseat of my car and attacked me!

I stopped and threw that lil out the window, clawing my arms and all!
Don't worry there was no one around!
Talking about scary! lol

I believe it jumped in my car when I left the door open at my aunts!

...but that, that is sick!

...and now that cat is lost? Probably dead from starvation? Such a responsible world we live in.

This really sucks the big one. I don't understand why people are cruel to animals. It makes me wonder how they treat their families.

Although, here is a story from last summer that may make ya'll feel a little better: Me, my mom, and my sister were driving through town. At a red light, a bunch of mean looking bikers were crossing the intersection, and a poor, scared kitten was in the middle of the road. All the dudes on bikes stopped, circled around, blocking the intersection, scooped up the kitten and got it out of the road. One of the coolest things I've ever seen, the biker didn't come to a complete stop, just slowed down, leaned over and grabbed it.

Dude the cat acted rabid, was I supposed to keep driving down the road and let it go wild while I drove? lol

I'm sure if it new how to attack me, it knew how to walk a good 20 feet away, to the pond and hunt!

Believe me, that cat was wild, no house cat for sure!

Cats usually know how to get back home, if they want to!
I've heard of it plenty, and gave one to a relative a good 5 miles away, and it was back at my house in the morning!

That's horrible! It's almost as bad as kitty juggling!
