Horrific Act Shocks Community: SPCA Investigates Alleged Kitten Throwing from NB Bridge

A wave of shock and outrage has swept through New Brunswick as the SPCA launches a full-scale investigation into a profoundly disturbing act of animal cruelty. Authorities are appealing to the public for information after multiple newborn kittens were allegedly thrown from the historic Covered Bridge in Hartland.

The harrowing incident came to light when a concerned citizen reported witnessing an individual, described as a man, deliberately discarding a bag into the turbulent waters below the bridge.

Believing something was amiss, the witness investigated further, making a grim discovery.

Upon inspection, it was confirmed that the bag contained several helpless newborn kittens. In a frantic effort, one tiny life was pulled from the water, but tragically, despite immediate attempts to save it, the fragile creature succumbed to its ordeal and passed away shortly after.

The fate of the other kittens believed to have been in the bag remains unknown, with grave concerns that they too perished in the cold river.

The New Brunswick SPCA has swiftly condemned this callous act, emphasizing the extreme cruelty involved in abandoning and harming such vulnerable animals.

They are urging anyone who may have been in the vicinity of the Covered Bridge in Hartland, or who possesses any knowledge related to this incident, to come forward immediately.

Investigators are particularly interested in any details regarding the individual seen discarding the bag, as well as any vehicles or suspicious activities around the bridge during the time of the incident.

This case has ignited a fierce plea from animal welfare advocates and the community alike for justice for the innocent animals.

The SPCA reminds the public that animal cruelty is a serious offense, carrying significant penalties. They reiterate their commitment to pursuing every lead to ensure the person responsible for this horrific act is identified and held accountable.

Information can be shared anonymously if necessary, and every piece of information, no matter how small, could be crucial to the investigation.
