cat in a dust bin?

Really can't see what all the fuss about, you know that far worse things happen to children. They are beaten, starved, drugged etc and nothing seems to get done to help the kids, so why worry about cats?

Perhaps we should stop buying insecticides to kill flies and wasps, who inevitably suffer immense disorientation as the insecticide affects their nervous system before they die! Poor little flies...

And what about spiders? Ah, maybe that's okay because most dislike, or have a fear of them!

That cat was someone's treasure. Someone loved that cat, and by causing pain to it, then pain was caused to it's owner. 

I presume you are playing Devils advocate, Ron, because thats the only way your comment is made acceptable.  

If it had been a hot day (I know, England and all), being in a bin for 18 hours would have either killed the cat or fried it's brain. 

She still gets the cruelty vote, even if the cat had only been in there one hour.  

Thank you, Peter. As you say, you don't particularly like cats, but that's not the point, is it? The issue is cruelty to another living creature.

Ron, I know how you feel about cats, and I respect that. But I also know you would never deliberately torture an animal whether you liked it or not.

Psychology has proven that people who are able to torture animals are also capable of torturing humans. Most child abusers started out torturing animals. I don't know this woman, but knowing what she did to an innocent animal makes me shudder to think that she may be a mother. God! Let's hope not.
