COLORADO SPRINGS — An investigation is underway into a report of a kitten dangled and then thrown from a vehicle moving fast down Interstate 25 through Colorado Springs. If true and if a suspect is found felony animal abuse charges could possibly be considered.
Animal Law Enforcement and Colorado Springs Police responded to a stretch of northbound I-25 where the caller said the incident happened. "They did locate a dead kitten at the scene," said Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, Animal Law Enforcement Operations Manager, Josh Holland.
So far, there is one witness. The description is a silver or gold Ford Escape-type vehicle. Investigators need more information on the May 2nd incident.
"Even if it's a different color [car] potentially if they saw anyone dangling a cat out of a car window northbound on I-25 Sunday around 12:30, we would ask them to please call our Animal Law Enforcement dispatch center at 719-302-8798,” said Holland.
A lot of drivers were on the road Sunday afternoon and there is a good chance somebody saw something, but may not have realized what they were witnessing.
