Virginia Beach driver filmed throwing parcel at cat on porch
A delivery driver in Virginia Beach was filmed throwing a parcel at Opie, a black cat resting on his owner’s porch. The cat ran off after being hit, and the incident has prompted an investigation by the delivery company and calls for the driver to be identified.
Owner Isabell Sump said Opie was limping and skittish the next day. She plans to pursue criminal charges once the driver is identified; the company said it was investigating. After the video spread online, a driver returned to the home and apologised through a translation app, according to local reports.
