FRIDAY: Cats around the world get revenge on the woman who was caught dumping a cat in bin. Watch video above.

WEDNESDAY: A middle-aged bank worker who was caught shoving a cat into a wheelie bin was today named as Mary Bale.

Ms Bale sparked outrage when she was filmed on CCTV grabbing four-year-old cat, Lola, by the neck and dumping it in a bin.

The cat was found by its owners around 15 hours later and is now OK.

Ms Bale, described as a 'cat lover' by her mother, is under police protection.

  • Honestly its not normal behaviour or acceptable to do this to a cat. There would have to be an underlying problem here.

  • Andrew, cats are not peaceful animals, they are predators and account for a significant number of native life. It is what they do. Not all people are responsible pet owners, some even throw them in the bin. There are feral cats all over the place and I would like to see the back of them.

  • It's hard to fathom that anyone could even think of doing that to an animal. Please 3AW, if you find out who she is, can you put that up on your site......I'd be interested to hear her version of why she did it!

  • Reminds me of the old Irish joke of the garbo's Paddy and Mick working one morning and when Paddy went to pick up a bin and throw the contents into the truck, only to be surprised at a cat jumping out when he opened the lid. He turned to Mick and said "Will you look at that Mick, fancy someone throwin away a good cat like that" HA HA HA.
    Told that joke a million times over the years and it still makes me laugh..

  • this woman has to be off her rocker to do such a terrible act of cruelty to such a loving and friendly little kity kat,. animals are better than some human beings in this current world of cruelty and lack of compassion.
    let's hope the old saying "what goes around
    comes around" works for her!!
    animals give you their unconditional love.
