Default This lady must hate cats.

Quote:
When his missing cat, Lola, was found in a trash bin, howling in distress, Darryl Mann, of Coventry, England, checked the surveillance video from a security camera outside his house.

On the tape, Mann saw a woman pause to stroke the cat, then inexplicably drop it in the bin.

And the youtube video showing the incident:


This lady must be off her rocker. The fact that she strokes the cat before throwing it in the bin proves it.

Edit: She must've gotten the idea from Mr. Bean:

I heard about that story today.

People suck, I hate people.

Something tells me that something "random" will probably happen to Ms. Bale soon. It will be tragic and I will be, like totally, upset.

The British are pretty fond of their pets.

Broken knee sounds tragic.


The worst part is that that cat was friendly. 90% of the cats I see, even inside cats, usually run away from strangers.

The woman is sick obviously as with any other jerks and bastards out there. The sad thing they probably became like that because some other bastards or jerks played them as victim.

Bastardly breeds bastardly

Well, having a mother who got terribly ill and was bedridden for almost a year because of some cat taking a sh*t in our garden and thus spreading some disease the night before my mum went gardening, I can understand this lady wanted to get rid of this cat.

Though of course in the end it's not the fault of the cat, just of the owner. If you think it's cruel to keep your cat in your own garden/house, don't take cats. It's much crueler to ruin somebody's life by letting your cat sh*t in their garden.



Yes, I hate cats. No, I don't put them in the bin. The most I do is scare them away if one comes too close.

I am just glad the press put her picture and full name out there. We don't want any case of mistaken identity when it comes to "accidents".

Oh please we don't want to become like her by doing cruel things to her. That kind of comments would be terrifying to her. It's a psychological abuse aka bullying. Don't. We are better than that.

The women should see psychiatrist.

I agree, this 'accident' talk is creepy and inappropriate

Honestly it sounds like something that a badly-raised teenager might do, not an adult. And as in that, I think the key is figuring out just what her problem is and setting her right hopefully. I honestly don't think it was a sane and rational action, and since in the end the cat (luckily) ended up fine - I think teaching her and everyone what was wrong about all this will do the society a lot more good than some sick vigilante 'justice'.

Well played.

Actually I can't advocate hurting the lady, but ostracizing her sounds pretty fair.

If you do that she would have to go to see 2 psychiatrists.

One for her cat issue
One for the people like you

Ya know double the cost


She might even become worse and start hurting [helpless] people around her not just cats

Now you're being just as disgusting as that lady. If you really think throwing a cat in a bin should be punished by means of severe violence, maybe the one seeking a psychiatrist should not be her but you.

Lighten up Francis. We are just posting opinions on a video game forum here. Nothing to be taken seriously.

No I don't advocate acts of violence for anyone. It is just some harmless venting on a harmless video game forum.
