In a disturbing incident in Kingswood, Bristol, 19-year-old Callum Palmer was filmed throwing a cat named Apollo off a balcony, which is approximately 20 feet high. The video, shared on Snapchat, shows Palmer initially petting the cat before lifting it by its tail and flinging it into the air, causing it to crash onto a shed roof. The RSPCA launched an investigation after the footage was reported, leading to Palmer being questioned and the cat being examined by a vet. The vet's report indicated that Apollo suffered from severe fear, anxiety, and potential bruising. As a result, Palmer has been banned from keeping animals for seven years and ordered to pay £500 in costs. He must also complete a 12-month community order and wear an alcohol abstinence tag for 60 days. Inspector Kim Walters emphasized the importance of treating animals with kindness and compassion.
