i'd love to grab that woman by the scruff of her neck, and throw her in a huge bin, see how she likes it...
So all us meat eaters who have animals killed for sustenance, leather shoe wearers who have animals killed for their hides and pest haters who kill
flies, wasps, spiders, mice, rats etc without turning a hair are OK but a nutty old bag who committed an unpleasant, senseless but ultimately only
mildly cruel act resulting in no long term harm to a cat should be pilloried and have her life threatened. Strange.
I suppose all the other examples I give where the animals end up dead are justifiable as they are killed without malice or cruelty and it's done
for good reasons. Funny old world.
I think your avatar shows which side of the fence in this argument you sit Dusty

Very good Dave !!
Cat and bin
I did think it very very funny, but of coarse it was cruelty
The way she did it looked so cold hearted, so do I think she should be punished? Yes.
Death threats are another thing altogether, but I think a lot of that story is about 'band wagon' culture. If there is any new story thats a
bit unusual there is bound to be someone to set up a 'campaign' page about it. And the more radical the views, the more publicity they get.
Its a 'LOOK AT ME, I'VE DONE THIS... OOH LOOK, OVER HERE, KEEP LOOKING AT ME' mentality. Would any of the people who set up or posted
on that site actually carry out a murder? I seriously hope not. But if mob rules take over then that woman could have got seriously injured.
Nothing at all to do with eating meat / wearing leather.
she lives just down the road from me in the poo hole estate!

BBC News
Lothian and Borders Police also said that protesters appeared to have spread an oil-like substance over roads on the outskirts of Edinburgh....
....A spokeswoman said the oil, possibly diesel or vegetable oil, had been spilled onto the A720 at Bankhead and the westbound lane of the A8.....
Police described it as "an extremely reckless and dangerous act which could put many members of the public at risk".
I heard the cat owners were wondering where the cat had bin.....
Sorry that was a bad joke, but I'm a dad so the more rubbish the better these days...which incidentaly is what the cat now thinks too
There is a difference between thoughtless and uncaring abuse of the living and killing for food.
The killing of others for food or procreation is the way of nature, with meat eaters it is deliberate and planned and with non meat eaters generally
accidental when they munch down insects or tread on something. In most cases there is no malice.
Unfortunately the persons who exhibit cruelty or malice indicate a regrettable character trait and won't change unless the cost of their action
forces them to.
So - yes she should pay for her actions both financially and mentally and no, those of us who do kill directly or indirectly to eat and live should
feel no guilt.
Ivan, I concur , I bet if the cat had bitten the miserable cow she would have sued.
I have taken live animals, dispatched them humanly and prepared and dated them, I would not however kick nextdoors dog for cramping on my front garden
or shoot a cat with an air rifle for taking fish from a garden pond.
I would present the evidence of the dogs indiscetion to the owner and cover the pond to keep the cat out

Id put her in a bin for 15 hours, nothing to do with any previous events, it would just be funny.
