On Monday evening, June 23, Animal Control Officer Suzyn Barro responded to a call from the Warwick Valley Police Department.

A local resident, Debbie Parka, had reported that several kittens, approximately 12 weeks old, had just been randomly thrown from a vehicle traveling on Route 94 South between the intersection of that road and Galloway Road (Route 17A), near Dawson Motors, and ShopRite Plaza.

Parka, who was driving south along Route 94, noticed the first two kittens, still alive at the time, in the center of the road, and decided to return for them at the first opportunity by making a turn in ShopRite Plaza. She had called 9-1-1 to report the incident and then noticed a third kitten, still alive, on the road by the Plaza exit.

Before she was able to return, unidentified motorists who failed to notice or didn’t bother to stop, had run over two of the first two kittens that Parka had spotted - one near Dawson Motors on the corner of Route 17A and another by Warwick Cemetery.



The surviving kitten that she had seen at the entrance to ShopRite Plaza was taken to a veterinarian for tests and is now under observation for severe head trauma. Its injuries, according to Barron, are believed to be consistent with being thrown from a moving vehicle.

The following morning, while taking her son to school, Parka spotted a fourth kitten that had been killed by a car on Sanfordville Road. She believes it was from the same litter.

Barronn, who alsi is president of the Warwick Valley Humane Society, said that the person or persons who threw the kittens from the vehicle could be facing three felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty.



“It’s scary to think that those who are responsible for this, live among us,” said Barron. “If anyone has any information, please contact us through our confidential cruelty complaint line at 845-987-7336 and all calls will remain confidential.”

i feel sick how cruel and evil some human beings can be!

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 2:24 am
Stories like this make me ashamed to call myself human. What sort of heartless scum can do this, don't they have any sort of conscience?

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 3:18 am
I hope they catch the slimeball that did this!noted sadly,thanks.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 4:01 am
One is not human that does this..never will be. I hope they find this person and throw then out a train moving at 100 miles per hour the freaks.

Big Gorilly Hugs

Poor little kitties...

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 4:41 am
OMG, that's terrible! What kind of "person" would do such a thing.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 5:00 am
I hope they are caught soon and get this harchest sentence they can get. What will they do next? Hope they are caught before another animal or cat is killed.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 5:02 am

Why would anyone do such a horrible,cruel thing?Those poor precious little kittens didn't deserve this.I pray that the last one heals completely and the others are in heaven.The so-called person who did this is going straight to Hell for doing such a despicable thing.I hope they catch the sicko who did this and give him what he deserves.Thank you Dave.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 6:37 am

This is just so very sickening. I'm sitting here hardly able to type sobbing my heart out. Those poor little ones. I am wondering if those fiends have the momma cat and what her fate is at the hands of such fiendish creatures. Damn them to hell and the perpetual worm

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 7:34 am
I can't even imagine what a "person" like this is thinking? I can't stand peolpe who throw garbage and trash out their windows...so I can't even think of a word that shows what I think of them! I hope someone turns them in so they can be punished to the full extent of the law. AND that's to good for them.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 7:35 am
No excuse for this behavior. Only a very scary person could do this. Hope they catch the perp and look into any other crimes that may have been committed. I doubt someone with no feelings or morals leads an innocent life.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 7:41 am
To be tossed away like garbage.....heartbreaking story. Thanks for sending this on Dave......and End Cruelty for posting.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 7:50 am
This is the behaviour of a cold psychotic person. I hope someone saw something or knows something and he, she or they get caught and prosecuted to the max!

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 9:05 am
I hope the person responsible for this is caught and prosecuted to the fullest. I cannot imagine anyone being able to do something like this! Thanks Dave for sending.....noted with sadness.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 9:12 am

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 3:43 pm
Thank you Dave. I noted it. I hope never to meet this kind of people in my life. I'd risk the jail.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 4:02 pm
very disturbibg

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 4:32 pm
Laws are going to HAVE to be passed to stop idiots like this! It just makes me sick to think about these tiny helpless animals in the hands of people with no souls. "Bless the beasts and the children, for in this world they have no vioce; they have no choice". Thanks for letting us know......

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 4:43 pm
why are there such evil people in the world!? that is so sick!!!

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 5:13 pm
PLEASE PLACE THIS PERSON IN FRONT OF MY FACE

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 5:34 pm
Oh my god! that's horrible BO! What sort of person does something like that B(? I hope the survivor makes it =(, and the person who did it is found and given the maximum sentence for his/her crime B|! Noted, and thanks, Dave :(.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 8:11 pm
What a horrible person! But, my advice, when you see an animal on the road, don't wait, take them off the road immediatly, because other drivers will accidentally hurt them1 Just stop right there, on the side off the road and put your warning lights on.Then carefully GET THEM OFF THE ROARD IMMMEDIATELY, one minute later and they could be dead.

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 11:30 pm
I would like to get my hands on this devil who did this to these poor kittens. I think I could tear him apart with my bare hands. I have been known to run after dogs to keep them from being hit by a car. I hope this person gets life in prison. Why is it that all states don't make animal cruelty a felony? PEOPLE WHO DO THINGS LIKE THIS WOULD DO ANYTHING TO ANYBODY. They make me sick!

Tuesday July 1, 2008, 11:57 pm
Poor babies

Wednesday July 2, 2008, 12:38 am
Poor little things.

I hope the last one survives.

Wednesday July 2, 2008, 1:11 am
noted thanks Dave

Wednesday July 2, 2008, 2:56 am
Noted. Thanks End Cruelty, and Dave for forwarding.

These people deserve nothing but the worst suffering. They make me sick to my stomach. I don´t really have words... PUT THEM IN JAIL!!

Wednesday July 2, 2008, 8:28 am
The cruelty in our world is mind blowing! I just cannot begin to understand how people can do things like this!

Wednesday July 2, 2008, 10:23 am
Poor little kitties. Maybe the person who did this should be put in with
a group of hungry wild cats. Bite-Bite Scratch-Scratch Kitty justice.

Wednesday July 2, 2008, 3:06 pm
Geeeeez..there sure are some sick people in the world. I hope their caught and thrown from a vehicle. Did I just say that? I meant thrown in jail..or did I.

Thursday July 3, 2008, 4:15 am
Bea and Elle are right, we have to be willing to risk ourselves, this is what we are here for, making the BIG statement. stop traffic with your car, it gives YOU more safety and the animal you're rescuing, and demand others help you, they probably won't, but at least you can make them feel guilty while they sit there :)

Thursday July 3, 2008, 4:37 am
I ask you, who are the terrorists?

Friday July 4, 2008, 5:20 pm
Call your politicans and ask for stronger laws concerning animal abuse. As for harsh sentencing as well. When these acts are taken seriously by the law then we might start to see them decline in number and we send a message to children that abuse is not to be tolerated.

Tuesday July 8, 2008, 4:59 pm
Scum.
