Why cant this person just be thrown out of the same window
and see how she likes it?

I agree - fair's fair  >:(

We could argue it was done in the heat of the moment and therefore OK  :tired:

Hopefully as they've published her photo her life will never be the same  ;)

I couldn't read the second article but was impressed by this in the first one - “This sort of behaviour against a tiny defenceless animal is despicable and I will not tolerate it from one of our tenants. I have asked my officers to begin eviction procedures and we will re-allocate this home to someone who deserves it."

Sadly she will now be able to rent somewhere privately and claim housing benefit to pay the rent so she won't be homeless but at least she has lost the secure tenancy of a council home.  I hope social services are on her back too, surely anyone who could do that to a defenceless animal is a potential danger to defenceless children too.

I agree with Mervyn - why the Magistrates went easy on her because it was an 'impulsive act' boggles the mind  :Crazy:

I hate the way people are excused appalling behaviour just because they're from a broken home or have a difficult life. Lots of us are from broken homes (I'm one!), and have difficult lives - it's no excuse for abuse and cruelty.

I have no interest in children whatsoever but in this case I do feel sorry for her kids.

You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world.

they should hand the person over to the animal rights people and let them deal with them  :censored: :censored: :censored:

The should be two things done here;

1-Impose stiffer penalties for animal cruelty

2-Make housing officers carry out home visits on single parents under 25 to asses all aspects of the home,including animal welfare.

Sickening doesn't come close to how I feel,the judge said it was an 'impulsive act',so on that vein,I can go out,get steaming drunk & punch a girl in the face & then claim it was an 'impulsive act' then...
