A kitten was hurled from a moving car and left to die on the pavement.
One member of the public witnessed the tabby being thrown from a dark-coloured vehicle and struggling to stand after landing on the roadside.
Tragically, the tiny kitten was later found dead on the pavement.

The incident happened in Welling, south east London on 31 October, as reported by Need To Know.
An RSPCA spokesperson said: “This was a really distressing and upsetting discovery.
“From what we’ve been told, it appears that the poor kitten was alive when it was allegedly thrown from the car, then possibly injured during the incident, and subsequently run over.
“The kitten must have been terrified as this was happening, and this was clearly a tragic ending to this young cat’s life.
“If someone no longer wants their pet, there are many safe and responsible options available, abandoning or harming an animal is never acceptable.”
The moggy, thought to be under six months old, had no microchip and its injuries were consistent with being struck by a vehicle.
