Having looked at the video, it seemed to me that the cat wanted to get food from the bin but could not open the lid and ask the lady passing by for assistance
I know just last week of a local family pet dog being killed by a sledgehammer by a new male member of the household.
I also had my own 8 year old dog killed by my ex. I firmly believe that anyone who is capable of cruetly to animals, is also capable of a lot worse - and research shows this correlation certainly exists.
I think the woman and her family have been given punishment enough for the awful thing she did. Who knows what crazy impulse came over her that day. IF she was a gurrier or a thug with no job and living in a horrible area I don't believe there'd be half the fuss, it's all because she's ordinary -just like us.
The lowest of the low? So lower than paedophiles and child abusers? Can't agree with that. The woman is obviously a bit bonkers and should be prosecuted for what she did but the rabble rousing and persecution is beyond ridiculous - and it's all because it was caught on cctv - this would barely have got a mention if she was caught some other way, brought to court and punished. There's far worse brought before the courts every day but with no cctv footage to ooh and aah over, the general public just don't care as much.Animal cruelty in whatever form it takes is the lowest of the low,

In respect of questioning her mental state, that's nothing to do with exactly what she did and to what but that her behaviour was far outside the bounds of what would be considered normal by most people. And there haven't been many (any?) people rushing to her defence saying sure, don't we all do that sort of thing around here...For all those people who have condemned this woman over her act, who have questioned her mental state etc., I take it that you are all vegetarians / vegans?
There is a difference between being intentionally cruel to an animal like that and eating steak for your dinner.
