A video has been circulating on social media of a young girl from St Mary’s Catholic School in Blackpool hurling a cat into a road.

The video was originally posted on Facebook but has been circulating on other social media platforms such as Snapchat.

The video features a girl about 15/16 years old with red/blonde hair, picking up a cat, chucking it into the road, and laughing as it landed, got up and walked away.

This vile act of animal cruelty has several locals in shock, appalled at the behaviour this young lady has displayed.
