Police catch woman who dumped cat in garbage can

Read Time:50 Second

Thanks to the powers of viral video, a British woman who unceremoniously dumped a cat in a garbage can has been caught. Mary Bale became an Internet villain after the cat’s owners posted security video of her first petting Lola, then dropping her into the trash can for no apparent reason. Lola was recovered—alive—15 hours later, and police identified Bale, who is being investigated by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the New York Times reports.

Angry people have gathered outside Bale’s house, police say, but Bale doesn’t know “what the fuss is about,” she tells the Daily Mail. “It’s just a cat.” Her mother insists Bale “loves animals” and that “she can’t explain why she did it,” but Bale herself had no trouble giving the Mail an explanation: “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 out.”

After I watched that video I had the urge to find her and kick her. It made me so mad! Her idea of funny, is sick):

Mean is hard to live with… isn’t it?

That is a cold, mean, old lady. Did you see the way she looked around to see if there was any witness before she put the kitty in the bin? Cold! Cold!

Due to being caught on “British Women gone cold”, she will probably suffer plenty. Not that she doesn’t deserve it.

I won’t even watch the video because I will cry about it. I took the cowardly way out and let others do the watching for me, so I don’t have to. Can’t see animals being tormented, it just hits me way too hard. I’m a big baby that way and not ashamed to say so.

She’s received death threats and her dad is ill.

As a result we will probably end up paying out for counselling as she’s now too frightened to go out.

Her comment of “What’s the problem it was only a cat” is sufficient reaon for the bitch to be frightened if you ask me.

I hope she gets what is coming to her for tormenting that little cat. Maybe a couple months working in an animal shelter taking care of them would be enough.

“It’s just a Bale.” His mother insists Randal “loves humans” and that “he can’t explain why hhe did it,” but Randal himself had no trouble giving the Mail an explanation: “I did it as a joke because I thought it would be funny. I never thought she would be trapped, I expected her to wriggle out.”

That would be a just punishment.
