Topic: Cat in Bin - Woman Charged

[dfmorgan]

A woman from Coventry who was filmed dumping a cat in a wheelie bin has
been charged with animal cruelty offences.

Mary Bale, of St Michael's Road, has been charged with causing
unnecessary suffering to a cat and of not providing the animal with a
suitable environment.

The incident happened in August and the RSPCA said it was taking the
45-year-old to court under the Animal Welfare Act of 2006.

She is due to appear before Coventry Magistrates Court on 19 October.

The RSPCA said it had served Ms Bale with a court summons on Sunday.

I was wondering what had happened - thank you for the update.

Thanks, Dave! I have absolutely no understanding for people who think it is funny to treat an animal like this. 

I'm happy that this video was distributed worldwide. This woman should be sentenced to work at an animal care station for a specific time!

I don't understand people who think it is funny to treat animals badly either.  I've noticed that some people who wouldn't think abuse of a dog was funny have no problem if it is a cat instead.  I don't get that either.  Stuff like this is why I get....upset with some movies.
