There are some bad people living among us. Psychos. And I guess with the increase of population in general the percentage of psychos just become more obvious since their numbers increase too.

10. According to the Newsflare story, the dogs were returned to the owner.

The story also says that the dogs jumped out, not that they were thrown out. I don't know how reliable Newsflare is, but I haven't found any sources that say the dogs were thrown out.

them. How evil can a human be? Don't want them, take them to the humane society, sell them, give them away...something other than try to get them killed.

Doesn't throw them out in the middle of a busy road. The last little guy hits pretty hard.

I'm thinking this car was hijacked, and the thief didn't want any distractions. They're probably better off. I'd be very interested in a follow up.

Good on the people who stopped for the wee ones.

Pet Dogs Leap Out Of Moving Car

Newsflare
Mar 8 2025

This is the jaw-dropping moment three pet dogs leapt out of a moving car one after another - before drivers stepped in to save them.

Dashcam footage shows the grey hatchback stopping at an intersection in Queensland, Australia, on February 17.

9. What makes you think that they were thrown out?

This video doesn't say that. The YouTube poster says, in the comments, that they think it was accidental. The original (Newsflare), unedited (less edited?) video description that the dogs jumped out and were returned to their owner.
