Coventry woman charged over cat bin dumping

A woman from Coventry who was filmed dumping a cat in a wheelie bin has been charged with animal cruelty offences.



Mary Bale, of St Michael's Road, has been charged with causing unnecessary suffering to a cat and of not providing the animal with a suitable environment.

The incident happened in August and the RSPCA said it was taking the 45-year-old to court under the Animal Welfare Act of 2006.

She is due to appear before Coventry Magistrates Court on 19 October.

The RSPCA said it had served Ms Bale with a court summons on Sunday.

Community service at the Cats Protection league methinks

There is little doubt about the lady's actions, she acted in a totally reprehensible manner.

However, I do worry about her getting a fair and impartial trial. I believe she's suffered trial my media already and it does worry me a little.
