Yesterday found on facebook pictures of an evil lady in coventry near where i live putting poor cat into a wheelie bin and then walk off. The poor thing was thankfully found 15 hours later ok but i wouldnt like to think what may have happened. Makes me so angry and thankfully its all over facebook and they are contacting the papers to try and find her. Just makes me worry about some of my cats as they are friendly and will go upto strangers for a fuss like this cat!
Im not good with computer stuff so ive copied the facebook link but it may not work!!!

No facebook but I can see the pictures, do we know what area this is in?
-
Its in coventry on a street called Brays Lane. Think it happened friday or saturday evening
-
not going to be able to help there then :(
the second video is titled appropriately though :)
-
Just a bit puzzled as to why it took the owner 15hours to find the cat, its not as if Wheelie bins are soundproofed.
-
That's absolutely shocking >:( Evil, evil 'person' >:(
For non-facebookers here's the video on the local papers website.

-
Truly shocking
-
Is this "lady" likely to be prosecuted??
-
It's unbelievable how she just walks up to the cat petting it as if she is a cat lover, then just does this disgusting act? I am shocked. I hope the footage gets seen by someone who knows her. I felt sick watching the footage.

I'll admit to stereotyping here but I expected to see a group of yobs or drunken idiots doing it so to see an outwardly resepctable looking middle aged lady do that in broad day light was shocking >:(
It's on the coventry news website as an actual article now (rather than just a vid) so hopefully someone local will name and shame her and she can be prosecuted.

I just saw this and I'm speechless :-:
I'll admit to stereotyping here but I expected to see a group of yobs or drunken idiots doing it so to see an outwardly resepctable looking middle aged lady do that in broad day light was shocking >:(
That's exactly what I did too. It's really quite shocking. I'm all for naming and shaming this woman.
-
This is just appalling but if its a private CCTV facing into the road/path outside a property, according to the police here its illegal so will not be allowed to be used in evidence>
However I suspect that a number will be watching for this woman and hope they get the right one and not someone who is innocent and just looks a bit like her.
I would love to see her put in a wheelie bin for 24 hrs with a notice saying what she did.
-
Too true Gill -but i would also like to see her emptied into the truck and get what she deserves -heartless :censored: :censored: :censored:
-
It's gone National now and even international - Sky News, The Sun, The Daily mail, London Evening Standard and even News.com.au all now have the story on their website so hopefully she'll be identified sooner rather than later >:(
-
It was mentioned on Sky news at 6 main headlines, then they had a full story complete with interview of Lola's owners. Lola looks lovely :Luv2:
-
I will confess to emailing Sky, BBC, ITV and GMTV pointing them to the coventry article and facebook page when I saw this thread earlier :shify:
She's very pretty isn't she, and a rescue cat too :)
-

Good thinking skippy!
this is outrageous, that video makes me so angry, the womans so calm. >:(
-
I hope she gets dealt with severely >:(
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20100823/tod-woman-caught-on-cctv-dumping-kitten-870a197.html
In this case, I would like to hear that she is unofficially punished by activists >:(
It wasn't even her cat - mindless scum like this really don't deserve to draw breath >:( - luckily the owners got her back unharmed :Luv2:
I would never let my cats out in the street :Crazy:
The thing is, to look at her, you would think she was normal :shify:
I so hope she is recognized and punished.

Late to the party Mark :lol2:

I hadn't seen this thread and started another one (that can be deleted). The scariest part is that she looks like an ordinary, respectable type of person. I hope she will be pilloried.
I agree with Bunglycat. I woud like to see her put in a dumpster and a load of hardcore dumped on her.
The defence will say she didn't harm the cat - but anything could have happened to it :(
-
:-[
I am so filled with rage about this piece of scum. I really hope something nasty happens to her >:(
-
GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:
-
I hope she is caught and something bad happens to her to
-
Well news of this evil woman is every were, let's hope some one can name & shame this monster!
Put her in the stocks & chuck dirty cat litter at her
-
I just googled to see whether she had been caught yet. Found this as a comment on the article on the Orange news website...
"To the NASTY woman who hurt a sweet little kitty. There is no hiding place. We have kitties everywhere. You will be found and our revenge will be terrible. We will leave dead rodents on your doorstep. We will be sick on your shoes. We will sharpen our claws on your furniture and leave our fur everywhere in your house. If you have a garden we will dig up your plants and go to the toilet on your flowers. be afraid...... be very afraid........."
:rofl:
-
16 hours ktty was there :censored:
-
Just been watching Sky news and they have an advance copy of the Daily Mail. It's the front page story and they have isolated close ups of the woman's face. :sneaky: Someone will track her down. I am sure of it. ;)
-
I was actually surprised at the quality of the video - bearing in mind it is a home system; probably from B&Q - so often we see business or council footage that is so grainy it is impossible to see properly. probably 20+ year old systems from a tape that has been used over & over.
I really hope she is made an example of. If it turns out she is mentally ill, then she should be in hospital if she poses a threat.
-
Is this thread the same as this:
http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,33934.0.html
If so - can these threads be merged?
-

:rofl: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?
-
This is gettong so much publicity on facebooke and the name of a woman has been mentioned but the problem there is that so many have same or similiar names and there is no guarantee its the right woman.....................afraid this could get out of hand
-
I am goping to try to merge the two threads, this wone onto the other one................keep your fingers crossed lol
Right now I cant see a merge button ..........helpppppppppppppp
-
OK its merged!
Not sure its onthe right board but its the one where the original thread was.
-
I am so pleased that so many big news channels took on the story i must admit i was surprised when our local paperr did let alone any one else. I suppose you get so used to people not caring you dont expect it but must admit i wonder if it was youths etc like everyone expected it to be, whether it would have took oof as much!
So hope they find her now. I hope shes seen the news and shaking in her house :evillaugh:
-
I wonder if she works?
-
Just saw on sky news internet that she has been found and has been given police protection :censored:
-
and theres me replying on the other thread.......
-
Well we all know the rs :censored: ca aren't going to do anyting as it's 'not in the public interest', no doubt. :tired: I think it's poetic justice that the woman must be :censored: herself in her sleep... she'll spend YEARS looking over her shoulder wondering when someone's going to have a pop. :evillaugh:
Okay, so it may be mob rule but justice isn't going to be served any other way. I don't wish any physical harm to this woman... but I do wish her many sleepless night of contemplation on what she has done. :innocent:
-
I merged two threads on this last night will a MOD please merge the new one into this one too pleasse cos I dont have time just now.
:thanks:
-
Has there been an update - how do we know that the RSPCA have decided not to prosecute?
Why is she getting Police protection?
-
It's been on the news

-
"Coventry Police have not arrested the woman because she has not committed a criminal offence."
Is this right??
-
The Facebook wall is quite interesting:

I was just looking through that. There are some *highly* disturbing images being posted. One in particular is ... well words cannot really describe it.
-
Went to look at that link and wish I hadn't due to the stupid and hateful posts on it. Some of the scum we share this planet with are not worth spending the time on. :tired:
-

Spot on, any 'punishment' given if she is prosecuted would be pathetic and I'm more than happy that she is probably :censored: herself about everyone knowing what an evil person she is :naughty:
What's worse - a few hours community service and a small fine (if that!) or being caught in the act and publicly 'shamed' on the headlines of every news channel in the UK and in many other countries round the world along with being in every national newspaper. Priceless!
-
Well they've name her now.

Here's my pennies worth...
You don't have to be a qualified psychologist to derive the fact that sadly this women is clearly suffering some form of psychiatric disorder. She should be taken into a secure mental home where she can be diagnosed and treated propperly.
If I am wrong then she should be incarcerated for being a cold, wicked and evil person.
Question 1. If the cat had been a 3 year old child would she have been charged for any crime?
Question 2. If the bin were emptied into a rubbish truck and the child was subsequently crushed and killed, would she be charged for manslaughter?
Regards,
Andy
-
I haven't read the whole thread but considering what happened to two purrs cats not that long ago without anyone being punished I would doubt anything would happen

Well, my opinion on that is -no she is not menatally ill -but a sly conniving evil :censored: :censored: who clearly knew what she was doing by even looking around to see if anyone was watching her .
In relation to the other questions -Yes, there would be an outcry if it was a child and she would be charged and held in custody and jailed -which as far as i am concerned -my cats are more important to me than anybody -that includes family and i have no children anyway and in all honesty not much patience with most that i know which fortuantely for me is very few-but i consider he fact that a cats life is as important as a humans -more so in many cases !

"Media speculation that the woman is being given police protection is categorically NOT the case.
Community Support Officers are outside the woman's address monitoring a large group of people - most of them from the media - for public order purposes as per routine police procedure."
so even the police dont want to be associated with her.
-
The facebook group has been removed now I see. I know the woman has been caught but do you think Facebook have taken the decison to remove it or do you think the police have asked them to remove it?
-
Named and shamed:
XXXXXX
The facebook page is still there at the moment
http://www.facebook.com/catinbin
Sorry Yvonne we can not have these details posted on Purrs for legal reasons...............if the facebook link contains the same that is their problem but there has already been one name put on Purrs that was incorrect which came from FB. I believe that it would be so inappropriate if the wrong person was named and shamed.
-
Hope she gets the sack as well :censored: :censored: :censored:
-
From the Sun newspaper:
"She absolutely adores cats, she's an animal lover, it just doesn't make sense." Says her Mother....
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3109791/Cruel-cat-woman-named-and-shamed.html
I wonder if this xxxx is suffering with some mental illness? Something like the one where women harm their children for attention...
-
People who are ill just do the act, they don't scan the horizon to see if the coast is clear before doing it. They are not that self aware.
To be honest I really thought it was a wind up when I first saw it. I could not comprehend a mature person would do such a wicked thing. Now it's been proved it wasn't a wind up, all I can think is that this woman had some kind of grudge against cats in general or maybe even she thought it was a different cat that had been peeing on her roses. :innocent:
I do not buy the mother's statement at all... I mean, what else is she going to say given the circumstances? :rofl:
-
Can an FB memeber tell Lisa Tinsley that is because she is a scummy chav! >:(
-
It's says on Yahoo that she is being offered police protection due to the level of violence threatened against her: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20100824/tuk-woman-who-put-cat-in-bin-identified-45dbed5.html
-
Please Purrs peeps do not put the name of the woman on here for legal reasons.
I know the links name her but we do not need to be caught up by any flack from this..............I am sure there is going to be loads as it has gone natioinal. The links are from other sites that can look after themselves.
I am sure we all are appalled by what has happened but the RSPCA hopefully will do their job!

Apparently, she doesn't understand what all the fuss is about 'It's just a cat' >:( - she is worried about the effect on her father who is on hospital - well she should realise that we are responsible for our actions :tired:
She may lose her job - I hope she is denied benefits if she does http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3110434/Its-just-a-cat-I-put-Lola-in-bin-for-joke-whats-all-the-fuss-says-Mary.html

that's the third variation on how they found her I've read.
picture of the pampered puss is nice :)
-
I like the th way The Sun includes the important information "Tracked to her shabby terraced house" :evillaugh:

and I'm surprised at you Mark reading this c%&p :evillaugh:
I just googled for an update and that was the first that came up - I don't rely on The Sun for cutting edge news :evillaugh:
I remember years ago when my mum announced that my dad wasn't happy as she had banned The Sun 'newspaper' from the house. I asked which paper they were having in its place - she said "The Daily Mail" :-:
-
I think a serious warning is needed for all Purrs Kitties. I think they should all know that placing themselves in wheelie bins and saying a humanz did it will not give them world wide attention and a tantalising array of goodies :evillaugh:
On a serious note, I can't believe she has come out and said what she has. If she hadn't said anything, she might have been ok. Now she's just gone and opened up a can of worms and made it 100% worse for herself :Crazy: :Crazy:
-
I don't read newspapers at all, haven't for over 20 years in fact. :evillaugh: I do read a few articles online though. ;)
Just read this Sun linky, Mark. Excellent pictures... boy is little Lola creaming in the gooodies as a bit of informal compensation! :wow: She even has THREE copies of The Sun to line her tray with. :naughty:
As for *that woman*... bring it on! Job loss and all! She's needs to get it back 10-fold. How can anyone with a heart think it's 'funny' to drop a friendly, purring live cat into a dustbin and shut the lid on it? >:( The conclusion is that she doesn't have a heart, does she? >:(

If she seemed remorseful I'd feel a bit sorry for her (and I mean only a tiny tiny amount!). Had she said "I don't know what came over me and I know it's a cruel thing to do and I regret it", I think a lot of people would feel a little less hateful towards her. But to say she doesn't know what all the fuss is about and that it's "only a cat". Not doing herself any favours is she? >:(

Yesterday morning their fb group was about 9,000 people. Yesterday evening it was 14,000 and I just checked now and it's up to almost 30,000 :Crazy: :Crazy:
-
THREE copies of The Sun to line her tray with. :naughty:
So it does have a use ;D
The FB thing is a bit ridiculous though. Apparently it wasn't a criminal offence :-: - Surely if cats are regarded as property, someone disposing of your property is as good as theft?
I am fed up with reading things like "why are people making such a big thing out of a cat in a bin when our boys are dying in Afghanistan" etc. - as well as the "they kill birds and poo in my garden" - :censored: morons :tired:
I think she should be arrested or sectioned. I am surprised they haven't taken her in for a mental health assessment.

I am surprised they haven't taken her in for a mental health assessment.
I totally agree!

:-: horrid horrid story...i was absolutely dumbstruck!!! and then bloomin angry!!!! >:(...I am glad that it all turned out well for the tabby girl......
why? why are there so many wierdos in the world? :-[
-
Also think the title of this thread need changing -come on -she ain''t no lady !
Scumbag is more appropiate ! :censored: :censored: :censored:
-
while I do agree it was cruel and if it was one of mine I would have punched her (not that mine would go missing for that long without notice) I do think it sad that because it is on film there is all this publicity, we all know that cruelty goes on daily and shooting and torturing of animals are not rare, people on this forum have taken cats from circumstances beyond vile such as whole groups living in cupboards and poor Willow and Oliver still haunt me
I will say again I agree it was very wrong but maybe the publicity is misdirected
I'm not trying to cause trouble but needed to say it
-
I think the thing with this is that it WAS caught on CCTV so she can be dealt with, how many acts of unthinklable cruelty go unreported or unchallenged because there is 'no evidence'. In this case the mindless act was captured on CCTV so there is proof beyond doubt.
I think the death threat business is ridiculous though and cheapens the cause.

I am totally with Dawn on this one, though in truth I would have put things more strongly, I have rescued cats that have been placed in bins as trash, I have seen kittens crushed as a result and nursed wounded litter mates back to health. I am not the only rescue that deals which such atrocities, I note RSPCA quickly got a fund up and running pity they weren`t as quick to show pictures of cats who were placed in bins by callous owners, a complete waste of an oportunity to educate so they can rake in the money. As for said cats owners they would fail one of my home checks.
This whole story infuriates me and BORES me.

The first cat we adopted (20 yrs ago now) had been found in a dustbin bag with her siblings :(

Tiggy and her brother Benji were dumped in a skip aged just a few weeks old. I'll always thank the heartless :censored: who did that as they were the best cats a child could have wished for :)
