Like Nick, I wish that whatever these sick individuals do to inflict pain and suffering on animals was done to them - exactly the same.  I know we'll never see it happen in the real world but I think it would be the only way to help people understand what they've done.  And I wouldn't show mercy.

Disgusting.

When will people learn that animals are not playthings or stress toys or "throwaway" items?!?!?!

I was going to say that taking a life should get the same punishment no matter what breed, animal, species - human, cat, dog, whatever - but then again, people get away with no fit punishment for murdering a human these days, so no hope for the poor animals.

Makes me sick - I hope the judge is an animal lover but what are the chances!!!

If she tries to use the Mental Health route, I hope the assessing Psychiatrist - who has to be section 12 approved and is invariably an ex GP or certainly GP qualified - sees through that excuse and decides that, at the time, the balance of her mind was not depressed and that her actions were based on hurting the man she sought to spite.

I have little time for people who try that one on. I've seen a few who, with money troubles, say they went 'mental' and spent on he two or three credit cards they were given........drug addicts who have spent out and are completely broke so do something hoping to get into a unit for a bit of rest, recouperation and - of course - methadone treatment......and while I should not say it, I have very little time for those who try it on. If she gets away with this, then the RSPCA should bring a private prosecution in - or her ex partner should at least get her banned from ever keeping a pet.

Washing machine and her I agree with. Then, that's too easy. Nic, alas, is probably going to be right.

Damned woman deserves the full weight of the law and haven't we just been notoified that the law on pets is on the verge of changing?

Rest in peace Paws you were a real beauty.

Depression is a rotten and strange illness, yet I have never known it to have this affect on anybody before.

A woman local to me got sent to prison for 28 days for cat / animal cruelty http://www.rspca.org.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RSPCA/Page/RSPCAArchiveNewsTemplate&cid=1110904571572&articleId=1128415217801, she tried to get off by going down the mental illness route, but it didn't work on the Judge.

I agree with you Nick, sadly even if she does end up in prison, that will be no punishment as it seems to me life on the inside is a lot more cushy for some as it is on the outside.

can't bring myself to read this .It would upset me too much. If I ever met a person that had been this cruel to a cat I would metre out the same punishment without a seconds hesitation. God help me

Its not difficult for anyone to take out their frustrations on a trusting animal . Pets trust us because they have never been given any reason to mistrust us. When someone does something like this the cat doesn't suspect anything bad is going to happen to it because humans stroke and feed it so it allows itself to be hurt . Even then it probably doesn't associate the pain with the human doing it.

Just wish I could read of one instance where someone hurting an animal has received some real justice. It would restore the balance a little bit.

I can't bring myself to read the link, but can guess what's happened from your posts.  Cruel though it is, I hope she truly does go completely mental.  To be locked in a hell of her own making would be divine justice.

Bl :censored: dy hell! I'd  hate to see what she did if she had a full blown argument not a spat over the phone!

I've been diagnosed with depression, as has my partner and even at the lowest ebb I don't think either of us could do something like that in response to a disagreement. What a lunatic!

I remember your post although could not bring myself to read it at the time.

I have just read it here, a full cycle, so that's an hour in the washing machine that's horrible and there is no excuse for it.  This makes me very angry, why do people on purposely cause pain and suffering to innocent animals like this, I just cannot understand it.  My personal opinion is I strongly believe the punishment should fit the crime!

Some of you will remember the thread I posted after this appalling story - and also that I forecast she would claim she was mentally ill.

Ho hum..........she did and they have postponed the trial. Full story on:


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6247295.stm

By rights, the psychiatric report should be done by an animal loving consultant level over-middle-aged man with a strong sense of social justice and a particular love of cats. That way she would at least get a fair hearing.............!
