A middle-aged UK woman who was caught on camera dropping a cat into a wheelie bin is now under police protection.

Mary Bale has been named as the woman filmed on CCTV patting four-year-old cat Lola before grabbing it by the neck and dropping it in the bin in the central UK city of Coventry, the Daily Mail reported.

Ms Bale is now under police protection after hundreds of hate-filled messages were posted on YouTube and Facebook after the video went viral.

Her mother Celia has said that her daughter did not know "what had come over her" when she dropped the cat in the bin.

"She absolutely adores cats, she's an animal lover — it just doesn't make sense," she said.

"We're just hoping we can all get through this because I know a lot of people are not happy about it."

The cat stayed in the bin for 15 hours before it was discovered by its owner Darryl Mann.

The CCTV footage showing Ms Bale checking the street to see if anyone is watching before putting the cat in the bin was posted online to help identify the culprit.

Ms Bale has been interviewed by the RSPCA but is not facing any criminal charges.

TORMENTED Lola last night became Britain's most pampered puss - thanks to The Sun.

Our readers were shocked yesterday when we told of the four-year-old moggie's cruel treatment, so we showered her with treats.

We had piles of Lola's favourite salmon-flavoured food delivered to owner Stephanie Andrews-Mann and gave the animal a smart new collar, cuddly toys and a scratching tower. Last night, she slept on a brand new pink fluffy pillow after trying out her leopard-print play tunnel.



Stephanie said: "I cannot thank The Sun and its readers enough.

"What Lola went through was terrible but thanks to the generosity of so many people she is already getting back to normal. It's like she has a family all over the country."

So neat that she was showered w/ gifts. I saw the video of her after the "incident" and she was purring so loud. Incredible that anyone would do that to her!!!!! I do hope that lady faces some type of charge, and she should be scared of all of the animal lovers out there!!!!

I think a big old can of whoop-a** is in order! I hope she's suffering knowing she's ruined her life.
So nice to see Lola being treated as she deserves in the end.

I hate hate hate x 100000 the woman and really happy to see Lola is being showered with gifts. The woman is so busted. Really wish she would come in font of me and ooooh she'd be dead! WHY DID SHE DO THE THROWING IN THE BIN PART! I don't think that she's an animal lover. Maybe her mother doesn't know her well.

Aawww, I have heard about this story but I didn't know Lola has received so many treats! So sweet
I have no words for what this woman has done. She must have lost her mind.

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???

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!
