He told the Metro: “What I witnessed was absolutely disgusting. My wife and son were hysterical.

“I drove on to the main A13 roundabout where I had to swerve quickly to avoid a kitten.

“I then proceeded on to the A132 where kittens were being chucked from a car every 100m or so.”

Thankfully for the one surviving kitten – called Kenny – Matthew was there to pick him up and take him to a nearby PDSA.

Unfortunately because Matthew was too busy trying to avoid squashing the kittens he didn’t get a good look at the sick drivers committing the crime.

He continued: “Because I was busy swerving around kittens and my wife was hysterical, we didn’t manage to get the details of the car the kittens were being thrown from.

“It was a couple of cars in front of us. But I am pleading with anyone who saw this sick act, or knows anything, to contact the police.”
