Mary Bale, 45, has also been charged with failing to provide the cat with a suitable environment.

Eh?

Jomifl:- 'The cats owners were not providing it with a suitable environment as it was roaming freely near a busy road'.
It's a cat, they roam, they enjoy it, and yes, occasionally they get squashed by cars, but I would imagine that if you could poll cats on their preferences they'd prefer to be free to roam than to be locked in some paranoid person's flat for the next 20 years, declawed and miserable, being denied the right to live according to their natural disposition- at least that's what I'd say if I was the prosecutor and someone came up with that ludicrous argument.
The woman in question needs punishing sensibly.

Yes boxy, you'd imagine they would've found the puss asleep in there, wouldn't you?

He wrote it in his autobiography. I imagine the family felt terrible guilt - as you would if you lost your pet in horrible circumstances such as that.

[mrs.chappie]

Is the woman claiming to be mentally ill?

She works in a bank....

Have you seen this game? http://www.thesun.co....ws/article3112671.ece

Maybe a £100 fine and "to be taken forth and locked in a wheelie bin for 7 days"

That's a great game Boxy ! Nice find!

I will nick it for the desktop right now : )

[mrs.chappie]

I'd like to see more sent to prison for animal cruelty. It's the lowest of the low, IMO.

I was hoping to see a story in the papers about this woman being found headfirst in a wheelybin and no-one could (or would) help to get her out.

throw her in a dirty wheelie bin for fifteen hours.

people can defend themselves, animals can't. Prudentia

This discussion was raised when the event first occurred, Noth.

[mrs.chappie]

I disagree, Noth. Animals are completely at the mercy of humans - be they kind or evil. And humans can (not always, of course) ask for help, or get help to recover from their horrible treatment.

Not so the animal. If that cat hadn't been found, it would have probably ended up crushed to death.

you need to meet my mother in law, 91 and as evil as anyone who has lived on this planet in the last million years
