Woman throws cat off high balcony for kicks

Newark, N.J. – A video was posted on Facebook of what appears to be a young woman holding a helpless cat halfway wrapped in some kind of material. The video then show the woman getting into a throwing position – presumably, for more traction – and hurling the cat off a high balcony.

The cat flies through the air and lands on the hard concrete sidewalk. Upon impact, the cat is motionless. At the end of the video, he or she appears to regain consciousness. It is unknown whether the cat survived.

The video can be seen here, but be warned: The content may be upsetting to some.

One of her friends is videotaping the event; and either she, or another friend, can be heard laughing and screaming in sheer delight at the dastardly act. It is unclear how many people were with the cat thrower at the time she committed the act.

The video was shared by Michele Symmons Goldberg on the Barbi Twins‘ facebook page, in which she pleads:

Please help find this girl and have her be held accountable- her name is Tikee Gee and she lives in Newark, New Jersey

The Barbi Twins are staunch animal rights advocates and quickly shared it with the following message:
