CCTV cameras have captured footage of an unknown woman dropping a cat into a wheelie bin, provoking outcry from animal lovers everywhere and a hunt for the phantom kitten binner (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Woman-Caught-On-Security-Camera-Dumping-Kitten-In-Wheelie-Bin-For-No-Apparent-Reason/Article/201008415703029?f=rss) -- a hunt that's proven so successful that she has now been taken into police protection, Sky News reports (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Woman-Who-Put-Cat-In-Bin-In-Coventry-Is-Identified-By-RSPCA-And-Given-Police-Protection/Article/201008415704447?lpos=UK_News_First_UK_News_Article _Teaser_Region_3&lid=ARTICLE_15704447_Woman_Who_Put_Cat_In_Bin_In_C oventry_Is_Identified_By_RSPCA_And_Given_Police_Pr otection).

As you can see from the video clip below, the grey-haired culprit walks up beside the cat, starts stroking it, and then after an incredibly shady check for whether the coast was clear, promptly pops it in the wheelie-bin close at hand and paces off for a quick getaway.

Its owners discovered their precious puss Lola 16 hours after the cat was dumped, hunting around nearby alleyways before hearing her startled mews for help.

Daryll and Stephanie Andrews-Mann, from Coventry, promptly took the case to the RSPCA and the police, the former describing the incident as a "mindless act of animal cruelty". The organisation is reportedly considering whether to press charges.

But now the huge amount of attention the clip has been getting has forced the police to prevent not just cruelty to animals but cruelty to humans too. After a series of apparent death threats online the woman in question is being kept safe by the police (http://www.asylum.co.uk/2010/08/24/woman-caught-on-cctv-throwing-cat-in-wheelie-bin-for-no-appar/).

I am not a cat lover due to being allergic to them, but I would never wish this on a poor defenceless cat; what was going through that evil womans mind, I hope she gets all she deserves

[jrobertson]

That's all the more reason for everyone to have some sort of CCTV installed at the front of their house.

Camera used to capture the video footage

I'm interested to know what make and model of CCTV was used? After a quick search it looks to be an Axis 206/207 indoor camera like the one in the photo below but I'm not sure.

:rant:I dont know :( it doesnt make any sense at all, it makes me soooooo cross! :rant:

[pmt]

I don't like cats,i'm more of a dog person...........so why am I feeding a feral/stray cat and stroking her and going awwwwwwwww and worrying in case anything happens to her,??????????????
My thoughts what would have happened to the cat in the story, if the dustbin men had come along and emptied the bin ,she is one evil women,

[Olivia]

Saw this on the news earlier, feel like dumping that evil ***** in a wheelie bin myself and leaving her there for a long time. I too am a dog lover and am allergic to cats, but, would never in a zillion years dream of doing that to any animal (or human other than that woman!!) She disgusts me.

[er 59]

There is no excuse for anyone to be so barbaric,anyone who can do that has an evil heart.:angry:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

disgusting woman. and not very clever either. in these days of cctv and internet how stupid do you have to be to do something like this. if that had been one of my cats i'd have found her before the police did. silly woman is now the talk of social networking sites all over the place and she has put herself in danger of reprisals now that millions of people have seen her face. :lol: serves her right :yes:

[Doktor Jon]

.... silly woman is now the talk of social networking sites all over the place and she has put herself in danger of reprisals now that millions of people have seen her face. :lol: serves her right :yes:

I'll refrain from commenting on her actions, as anything I'd like to say would probably just appear as a bunch of ****.
That said, this story has in a very short space of time achieved more coverage, than practically any other CCTV related story I've come across in recent years.

Says a lot for what the majority of us really think about animals .... and animal cruelty :yes:

[Seeks_Solace]

The woman in question-Mary Bale- apparently did it as a joke!!! How in the world that is meant to be funny is a mystery to me.

The poor cat was trapped for 15 hours, thankfully unhurt, but nonetheless the poor thing would have been terrified. It sems as if there are several groups set up just to out this awful woman for her cruel act, and she will find this is one that won't be going away anytime soon.

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

a joke? for the amusement of who exactly? i think she'll find it's not so funny now :lol:

[Seeks_Solace]

a joke? for the amusement of who exactly? i think she'll find it's not so funny now :lol:


Hah hah! Exactly! :)

I think this is just her trying to back peddle out of getting a bad press! Oops, too late. She is one disliked individual right now, it's amazing how this has spread across the world and how people have reacted!

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

good, i love it :lol:. karma is a wonderful thing :yes:

incidently, the owner of Lola has said this:

"She doesn't come home much, to be honest - she only comes home to eat and the rest of the time she is out and about so we didn't even notice she was missing."

not the words of a responsible cat owner imho. if my cat was gone for that long i'd definitely know about it.

There is already a Mary Bale *dislike* group on Facebook with over 3500 members!

Correct me if I am wrong, I heard on Radio 4 this afternoon that there was a Mary Bale *calling for her death* group on Facebook with 10,000 members which has since been removed. For a moment there I thought I was living in Iran.

OOhh i haven't heard that one but i just had a quick look and theres a 'mary bale hate group' and a 'cat-lady should do time in a bin group', there may have been others that have been removed.

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

i do think death threats are a bit much but i like the "time in a bin" idea :yes:
