Cat tossed in trash can-good ending.

[moosmom]

Her excuse??? "It was only a cat". I wonder what kind of punishment she'll get? The woman has been getting death threats, and animal rights activists were outraged. When will this insanity against animals stop???

[Medusa]

You just do not ever know.

I just saw this on the news this a.m. - made me sick!!!! And this "woman" said it was a joke, and "it's just a cat"????
Perhaps she should get thrown in a den of lions for 15 hours. Afterall - they're only cats....

So glad kitty came out none the worse for wear - and with lots of nice presents and treats too!

[catmandu]

I would have at least tossed a rock through her window, as they apparantly are not filing criminal charges:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I read about it in the newspaper this morning. So good they could identify her.
I think she didn't lose her mind as you could really see how she looked around before she tossed Lola in the bin. It was all planned and I wonder what else she did in the past
I am very glad little Lola survived ok.
But what can you do with someone who says "It is only a cat"? How can she learn that there are things that are unacceptable - whether it is only a cat, a rat or a human.
However it will end- thanks to the internet she will ahve lost all her reputation. Forever.

Me?, I'd aim for her head.

Me?, I'd aim for her head.

I'm with you Richard. I do believe she will be looking over her shoulder for quite some time.

I agree that this was a planned act. The only reason Ms. Bale should not go into the same trash bin is that I don't think she'd fit! I' ll find her a nice, big, DIRTY dumpster! However the bottom line here is that sweet Lola is alright and reunited with her loving family.

[moosmom]

No charges will be filed which REALLY chaps my @$$. I'm with Davidp. Find the dirtiest, scummiest dumpster around and lock her in it for 15 hours.

People suck.

She is still being investigated by the RSPCA - but haven't found any updates as to what they are doing with her. I think a psych assessment is in order.

Meanwhile, the cat's owners are asking hot-tempered animal lovers to remain calm. "Now that the police know who she is, I think people should leave it to them and the RSPCA and not take matters into their own hands," owner Stephanie Mann told the BBC. "Whatever she has done, I don't like her, but I don't want her to get hurt."

Surely the lesson of this dreadfully sad story is that in a civilised society, both these sets of feelings - those of the sadist and, in turn, those who want her severely punished - should be something people strive to suppress.

Just got off the phone w/my friend who lives in England. She said that the woman is getting death threats now.

[Catty1]

The Facebook group that was making those threats was removed.

As the second quote in my post above indicated, in a civilised society two extremes of feelings are to be avoided: those who are sadists and hurt animals and people, and those who are enraged enough to kill them.

NEITHER is healthy.

Hi Lola,
What a pretty kitty girl you are! I'm happy to know that you weren't injured when that evil excuse for a life form put you in that trash can. Those are some great new toys and what looks like tasty treats you received. Enjoy them sweetie, you deserve them.

I hope you know that not all humans do terrible things like that. This should never happen to you or anyone's pet! Many of us humans are very angry about this and pray for justice. Stay inside with your purrents where you'll always be safe and loved. Sending you lots of lovies

[Medusa]

My friend wondered if there may have been bad blood between her and the cat's owner. Why was there a camera there anyhow? Even though the FB post was taken down, there are reportedly guards near her house. Could be just rumor. It's a shame that one extreme follows another.
