[url=http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100825/tuk-cat-joke-was-meant-to-be-funny-6323e80.html]Source[/url] [quote]A woman who enraged animal lovers across the world by dumping a cat in a wheelie bin said today she "thought it would be funny". Mary Bale told The Sun that she binned the feline as "a joke", adding: "It's only a cat." The 45-year-old sparked an angry online campaign after being caught on CCTV throwing the pet into a large green rubbish bin in the Stoke area of Coventry. Tabby Lola was trapped for 15 hours after being picked up by the scruff on the neck and dumped in the container. The four-year-old emerged unscathed but footage of the incident, posted on social networking site Facebook, provoked angry reactions. Hundreds of people joined groups on the site and many have posted threatening messages about the woman depicted in the CCTV. The footage also led to an ongoing RSPCA investigation. Speaking to The Sun, the woman said people were "overreacting". She said: "I really don't see what everyone is getting so excited about - it's just a cat." "I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly thought it would be funny to put it in the wheelie bin which was right beside me. I did it as a joke because I thought it would be funny. I never thought it would be trapped. I expected it to wriggle free." Ms Bale admitted that she "shouldn't have done it" but added that she did not deserve the hatred of people around the world. Lola's owner Stephanie Mann appealed for calm and urged people not to take "matters into their own hands". The 24-year-old cat lover said: "I can't believe the reaction to the story. I only posted it on Facebook because I wanted to see who she was. 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. Whatever she has done, I don't like her, but I don't want her to get hurt. It needs to be dealt with properly, not by people getting aggressive with her." West Midlands Police said Ms Bale had not committed a criminal offence. A spokesman said: "The RSPCA is leading an investigation into the incident and will be interviewing the woman shortly. Coventry police are supporting the society's investigation and would urge the public to leave the matter to be dealt with in the appropriate manner by the authorities. Coventry police have not arrested the woman because she has not committed a criminal offence." The force said the woman was not being given police protection and community support officers were outside her address monitoring a large group of people for "public order purposes as per routine police procedure".[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtuqQb_6cNkp[/media]

Someone needs to murder her.
"It was a joke" what a great fucking explanation. How about now some psycho-cat-lover sets your house on fire and when caught he says "It was just a joke, I thought it would be funny, I shouldn't have done it tho, but I don't deserve the anger, it was just a joke."
While this isn't all that nice... She simply put a cat in a container. It hasn't been hurt. If it had been hurt, different story, but seriously. This isn't worth any sort of emotional reaction at all.
She's just a fucking idiot. OH YEAH, I MEANT IT AS A JOKE. Fuck off, stupid bitch.
fat cunt deserves all the hatred in the world
that cat deserves to die! [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Asshole" - Jaanus))[/highlight]
When will it be the day when animal lives are the same as a human life? if an animal is being mistreated it should be treated just as if it is a human life we all life on this planet and a life is a life no matter what it is that is being harmed.
Yeah, Put a cat in a bin. YEAH, BITCH NEEDS TO BE KILLED, YEAH. :downs:

This isn't worth any sort of emotional reaction at all.[/QUOTE] It's our job as humans to look after animals like cats. Placing a cat inside a bin, closing the door and leaving it in the dark for 15 hours is not looking after it. The cat may not have been the woman's, but she should have damn well used common sense and logic before thinking that this kind of thing was funny. I saw a news report on this and they said that the cat was "beginning to trust humans again", so that shows that the cat went through some psychological trauma, while it was inside that dark bin for 15 hours. It is not down to you to decide whether this is "worth any sort of emotional reaction".

Sucks that "technically" she's not breaking any law here.
Yeah it's only cat, it's not a living creature that can become scared or anything...

Nobody got hurt, I see no big deal when people overreact about it. The cat could die, she didn't use her fucking brain. My (I could say "our" but I can't speak for others) concern is not focused on the oh-so-poor-cat, but on how stupid this bitch is. Come on! What the fuck were she thinking. Picking on defenseless animals because she think it's funny? That's just being asshole for no reason whatsoever. Not very nice behavior if you ask me.
Someone needs to dump her in a wheelie bin. For a joke of course.
[QUOTE=Mr Mcsqueezy;24335571]Someone needs to dump her in a wheelie bin. For a joke of course.[/QUOTE] No, put her in a small cage for 15 hours, wheelie bin is too big for her, she would get comfy, you wouldn't want that, right?
I can't understand why you guys are getting so angry over this.
Wow.....what an asshole.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;24335646]I can't understand why you guys are getting so angry over this.[/QUOTE] Because she thought it was funny to leave an animal, completely alone, in a dark and small area, where it went through emotional and psychological trauma.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;24335646]I can't understand why you guys are getting so angry over this.[/QUOTE] because cats are cute
"wow what an asshole" maybe "she should fucking die" no.
Nothing we can really do about it, It already happen.
[QUOTE=kmlkmljkl;24335615]No, put her in a small cage for 15 hours, wheelie bin is too big for her, she would get comfy, you wouldn't want that, right?[/QUOTE] I like your thinking!
[QUOTE=Dr Bob;24335670]Because she thought it was funny to leave an animal, completely alone, in a dark and small area, where it went through emotional and psychological trauma.[/QUOTE] Yeah cause cats don't already do that when, oh I don't, hunting small mammals?
[QUOTE=poopsicle;24335747]Yeah cause cats don't already do that when, oh I don't, hunting small mammals?[/QUOTE] It's in their nature to hunt small mammals and birds. It's [i]not[/i] in our nature to put cats in bins.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;24335747]Yeah cause cats don't already do that when, oh I don't, hunting small mammals?[/QUOTE] Cats don't traumatize mouses because they think it's funny. Shit, they don't even realize the mouse feels pain.

This isn't worth any sort of emotional reaction at all.[/QUOTE] It is just a dumb thing to do. It is a cruel thing that the person did. No light or food or any company for 15 hours. It is worse than a prison cell.. I just think its weird.
