According to the Craven County Sheriff's Office, there have been "multiple reports" of kittens abandoned om the Neuse River Bridge and on U.S. Highway 70.
"Animal cruelty is a crime under North Carolina law," the post reads. "Anyone who witnesses someone throwing animals from a vehicle is encouraged to call 911. If possible, get the registration plate number and do not confront the subjects doing this heinous crime."
A group of kittens found Monday in James City had injuries that implied they had been thrown from a car, according to the sheriff's office.
"We are aggressively going after folks like this that think it’s ok to mistreat, abuse, and not care for their animals," said Craven County Sheriff Chip Hughes.
