Power of the internet, woman named and shamed...
http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/hounded-online-and-in-person-woman-apologizes-for-abusing-cat/

....clearly a most unpleasant individual, but I have to say I've seen worse cases on the Internet while googling this after seeing it on the news, yet they don't make national headlines. Although if it was my cat I would be fairly livid.

Woman now has a police escort. She thought it would be funny and a joke to drop the cat in the bin, even looks at the CCTV camera just prior.

Animal cruelty is just bang out of order, not seem so funny if she was locked in a wheelie bin covered in her own mess

[albitz]

.......and we now have to waste break knows how much taxpayers money for her to have police protection, and she wont speak on camera probably because Max Clifford has negotiated an exclusive with one of the red tops for a huge fee.
Its a funny old world really.

[feeutfo]

some suggest that it may not be so cruel if the cat was unpleasant, if that cat scratched peoples legs for example...

....so, Bale can be shot at dawn then, sorted!

 my neighbours cat keeps shittin outside my flat door,sits on my bonnet and has left loads of scratches, ive told her about it, she dont seem bothered so i told her of the rules that forbids cats in the flats, she still dont care,which she will regret. she could find it hanging from the balcony one day

Some perspective needed here guys. The ugly mare put a cat in a wheelie bin.....hardly the crime of the century but perhaps a little unwise  (CCTV everywhere) Only in Britain would this make front page news. Other countries have far more important things to get worked up about....Pakistan.....Haiti.....Palestine.....anyone..

Some perspective needed here guys. The ugly mare

Very impartial as your avatar confirms.

A particularly malicious act all the same Opti that did make the broadcast news channels in many countries around the globe.

It's strange how attitudes have changed Zulu. I feel sure that in the sixties ......it was still legal  to shove a banger up a cat's arse on Bonfire night.......Oh what fun we all had in those carefree days....

[feeutfo]

its the coverage thats the issue, if it was some long legged blond i bet we would never hear of it as blondes can do as they like and getaway with it with a flerty smile, but some grumpy old bag, as she surely is, everyong gets on the case, but how the hell has it got on the news?

Death threats is how, hope your cat in the flat is not on cctv when you catch it Ritchie, the tax payer will foot the bill,  and you'll be on the news by the looks.

Perspective eh.....?

That is an important point Chris.  Aside from this issue, it seems that the notion of an individual having the right to privacy has been well and truly knocked into a cocked hat.

As you rightly say - such is the power of the internet, mobile communications and MSM/broadcast news eager to fill pages/airtime, it seems that our every move will be liable to scrutiny from here on in.
