Cat 'joke' was meant to be 'funny'
(UKPA)

A woman who enraged animal lovers across the world by dumping a cat in a wheelie bin said today she "thought it would be funny".

.....
Tabby Lola was trapped for 15 hours .....

.....
Speaking to The Sun, the woman said people were "overreacting". She said: "I really don't see what everyone is getting so excited about - it's just a cat." "I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly thought it would be funny to put it in the wheelie bin which was right beside me. I did it as a joke because I thought it would be funny. I never thought it would be trapped. I expected it to wriggle free."

Ms Bale admitted that she "shouldn't have done it" but added that she did not deserve the hatred of people around the world.

....Coventry police have not arrested the woman because she has not committed a criminal offence."

1. She's sick.

2. Hope someone shuts her in a trash bin for the better part of a day...

I mean, it would be funny, right?

[ThomasQED]

9. she would have to think so

maybe it would be even funnier.

3. The cat's not laughing and neither am I.

The video clearly shows the kitty was sweet, purry, and friendly.

Mary Bale? Not so much. She should spend 15 hours inside a stinky trash bin and we'll see if she comes out laughing.

4. She probably would...

It seems like someplace she'd be happy.

[AtomicKitten]

10. Well at least her identity was made public so she can face the scorn she deserves. nt

5. Well, yes, she DOES deserve the hatred of people around the world.

6. Why was there a camera aimed at the bin in the first place?

:shrug:

I'm glad the cat was freed and she was caught, but what exactly was being 'secured'?

8. Bloke randomly had CCTV cameras up..

[MellonCollie]

13. Their car was being damaged...

...if I remember correctly.

7. It's the UK..even happy slapping passes for fun there..

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

11. The women is a sociopath

I could see a person in a moment of anger doing this to a cat that had just attacked them. It wouldn't be right, but I could at least understand it. This is a person who has serious, deep-seeded problems.

12. How has that woman functioned in society?

Funny? That is just messed up

[rpannier]

14. She'd probably be better off if she was arrested

The public will destroy her (and rightfully so)

[chemenger]

15. I did hear that she was placed under police protection.

I predict that this is just the beginning ... wouldn't be surprised if she loses her job, is ostrasized in the community where she lives, becomes a target of verbal abuse and who knows what else.

Britishers are rabid pet/animal lovers ... as am I. A part of me feels sorry for her ... she's sick ... but most of me hopes she gets what she deserves ... she is a sadist.
