The reaction to Mary Blane and her cat storge malfunction. Granted it's wrong and it's animal cruelty but you'd hear less about other more serious cases of animal cruelty.

Is the internet community going too far, with death threat websites etc? Has anyone here signed up to a FB page against her? What does that achieve? Is there such a thing as too much freedom? as in freedom of speech? Should mobs & morons that otherwise wouldn't have a voice be heard through this format?

Does anyone give a crap?










Did anyone LOL when they saw it 1st? hole

That'd be if she was a kid or a teen, but I think myself she's a bit long on the tooth to turn into a serial killer.

I have to admit, the first time I seen it, I LOL'd, a lot (nearly fell off my chair) ...

woods: Ah come on, that's a ridiculous comparison, it's nothing like Rosemary West, it's a minor enough act (and I say that as a cat lover)!


Just the way she looked around first. And for all she knew that cat was going into the grinder in the back of a bin lorry!conversing

Screech: It was an adult cat that was picked up and dropped into a wheelie bin, It wasnt a defenceless kitten
Its not like she dropped the cat off a cliff, or threw it up into the air and booted it like a rugby ball or worse drove across it with her car, Its has been blown out of all proportion

Take a look its not over 18s material like


No, it wasn't a defenceless kitten. It was a defenceless cat. No matter the age of the cat, they are still not in a position to lift themselves out of a wheelie bin.

The cat could have just as easily suffocated or worse - end up in the back of a bin lorry.

Luckily the owners got to the cat in time but if they didn't, i dread to think what might have happened.

A lot of people will probably say no harm done but thats hardly the point. I think anyone with a pet wouldn't find that footage very funny....JMO.

There's must be something wrong with me, I lol'd when I read that bit. I don't condone it now to anyone that says I'am. I just think that it is getting a bit out of hand. Let the police do their business and justice take its course, the video could have been given to the police only, was it neccessary for the owner to post it on youtube? There have been far worse cases of animal cruelty that dont get the slightest mention in the news but a picture paints a thousand words I suppose.

JMO but there seems to be a lot of "mob mentality" theses days.... i guess in some ways it's good that people are finally starting to get around to trying to make their voice heard, but in other ways, it's a bit scary that a mob will just find any excuse to round up someone and lynch them..
