A woman who dumped a cat into a bin is reportedly being guarded by police after cat-loving Internet vigilantes began threatening her and a mob descended upon her home.
The 45-year-old woman was spotted stroking the cat on the street outside its London home – then she picked it up by the scruff of its neck and dropped it in a nearby bin, closing the lid.
The cat’s human later discovered the trapped cat mewling in the bin 15 hours later – initially he thought the cat might have found her own way into the bin:
“I thought she might have got in herself – she’s not the brightest cat.”
Wondering what happened, he inspected his CCTV recordings – he had installed a camera after his car was vandalised – and soon found the cat had been binned.
Naturally, he uploaded the video onto the Internet in an effort to find the perpetrator, creating a “Help Find The Woman Who Put My Cat In The Bin” Facebook group which soon helped identify the woman.
Soon police, animal rights groups and of course Internet vigilantes and the national media became involved, with death threats being made against the woman whilst a mob gathered outside her house, her address being widely circulated.
Facebook also deleted another group calling for the woman’s death, as it contravened their terms of service.
Speaking to the media, the woman was initially unrepentant:
“I really don’t see what everyone is getting so excited about – it’s just a cat.
I don’t know what came over me, but I suddenly thought it would be funny to put it in the wheelie bin, which was right beside me.”
She later issued a public apology, saying she had made a “misjudgement” for which she was “profoundly sorry.”
Reportedly police officers were sent to guard her, but police insist their officers are not “guarding” the woman, but are instead merely observing the mob outside her house:
“Community support officers are outside the woman’s address monitoring a large group of people – most of them from the media – for public order purposes as per routine police procedure.”
Police did however concede that they are now “closely monitoring” the large number of threats made against the cat dumper’s personal safety.
Lola is said to be unaffected by her time in the bin:
“She’s fine. She’s very tired obviously with everything that’s being going on, but other than that she’s fine.”
Lola’s human was however alarmed by the aggressive reactions of people with nothing better to do than engage in histrionics over the fate of a cat temporarily trapped in a plastic box:
“I can’t believe the reaction to the story.
I only posted it on Facebook because I wanted to see who she was. Now that the police know who she is, I think people should leave it to them and the RSPCA and not take matters into their own hands.
Whatever she has done, I don’t like her, but I don’t want her to get hurt. It needs to be dealt with properly, not by people getting aggressive with her.”
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is due to talk to the woman, whilst police have said that animal cruelty charges could result from her vicious act of cat abuse.

“I can’t believe the reaction to the story.

This guy's a moron.
He's a moron because he thinks the proper authorities should handle the situation rather than a bunch of internet tough guys blowing everything out of proportion and calling for the women's lynching.
Right. Not so bright yourself, huh?
No, you're a moron.
fuck her she wanted it to be killed and she knows it. No need for excessive hatred or violence, let her feel the pressure for a bit and everyone let it go. Including the people arguing here for no apparent reason.
He is a moron for not expecting the ONLY POSSIBLE REACTION when you combine interwebz and kittys.
He's just saying that now to protect himself in case anything were to happen to the neko-binner. Just like she is now giving the apology after her first reaction was "what's the big deal".

While it was cruel, you do know that while the cat is stuck in the bin, it'll probably have food to eat, not only that, when the garbage was picked up the cat could probably jump out of the truck.
Plus once the owner would have to put another bag of rubbish in the bin, I'm sure he would have noticed an additional cat in there.
Seriously, cats are cool and all, but this internet justice is sometimes too much.
Besides any death threats are probably from 13 yr olds in 4chan, so they probably shouldn't be taken seriously.
I'm with Toy.
As a past cat-owner, I can say with great certainty he would be not altogether displeased if this woman should become separated from her head. But that doesn't mean he's crazy enough to pursue it.
Internet has its own witch hunts.
WITCH HUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*prepare the fork and torch*
you do know that the green bin, is for garden trimmings etc (black for household, blue for recyclable) so no food and what if it was the day the dustbin men came they don't look inside.
or what if it was sunny, friend was hospitalized when we were kids playing hide and seek they fell asleep in a similar bin. point is they get hot as fuck on a sunny summer day.
Man, fuck that. I'd beat her black and blue if she touched my cat.
"Man, fuck that. I'd beat her black and blue if she touched my pussy."
*fixed*

Well in my country a green bin with a yellow lid is for recyclable, so I take it back.
That guy should take that camera down ASAP!!
As soon as a films a girl running down the street in regular, but light clothing, there will be a femnazi group on facebook calling for his death and he'll get arrested for CP!!
cats are pests
Huh, I'm confused...I thought cat like being in trash can or were all those episodes of Top Cat a LIE!!! Don't blame her, we need to go after Hanna-Barbera!!!What, we're too late, they're already dead.
That woman was jealous because she doesn't have a cute pussy.
I think it would be interesting to see that woman trapped in trash bin and starve to death. Because that is what she aimed for the cat. She is obviously a human trash.
An heigen, you are a drama queen... and a fag.
"She’s very tired obviously with everything that’s being going on"
What the hell is this idiot on about? The cat got put into a bin for a while, it's not as if the woman threw it off a balcony and it's recovering from multiple organ failure.
Pretty massive overreaction, imo.
This guy is smart, he's acting nice due to deniability.
Yes, the internet loves cats and porn. Which explains all the kitty porn.
but everytime you fap, god kills a kitten! think of the kittens!!!!
what kind of god IS THIS !!?
thankfully, not ours.
The christian god.
God is dead. Nietzsche
you misspelled "kiddie porn."
@Schrobby
He was thrown in a trash bin ^_^
Maybe he got recycled chinese style. ^_^
Lucky for the lady the cat's owner wasn't Chuck Norris..., or else the cat would have smacked her all over the floor.
Fuck off.
likewise
So, besides being fags, cat lovers are also douches. Thousands of cats die every day and some ones in the worst maginable way... I can tell you because I had burn alive a couple of them =D
That bitch deserves to be jailed in a bin for a day.
agreed lol
Just thank god she isn't a vicious animal slashing psycho.
I honestly don't like cats at all, but some people can be just sick.
Well, she just did that for the lulz without any intended harm...
Unlike that one video where some guys poured lighter fluid on a cat and set it aflame, or that other video where a woman steps on a kitten with stiletto heels until said kitten is turned to mush...
The above I understand since they deliberately want to kill and torture animals and post a video of it in the internet, but that lady was all about the lulz...
Hell, this is like something you see on "Planet's Most Funny Animals"...
But lulz or not...The damage has been done and there is hell to pay...
Even if she did apologize, some people will still want to get more than an apology from her...
The news via internet has been spread...The wild-fire for all the blood thirsty vigilantes are set...
If I was her, I wouldn't show my face outside for a while, now that fanatical cat lovers are out to mutilate and kill her...
*shakes head in disgust at the stupidity of the whole thing*
I can kind of understand the hate though, considering it is someone else's pet. As a dog owner, if someone did that for my dog, I'd probably be murderously angry I'd admit.
That said, you're right that it is done for the lulz. I actually snickered at the video when watching it without any context.
But yeah, the true hate should go to actual animal abusers who willfully torture and kill animals. This is somewhat misdirected and hopefully it should be over and she would have learned her lesson.
For true animal torturers, I don't care if they get their heads caved in.
That cat would've died if no one had found it in a couple of days...lulz...
"I really don’t see what everyone is getting so excited about – it’s just a cat."
Besides the deed being animal cruelty, the cat is also property, much like a car or a house, I wonder if she would destroy something else of someone else's just for the lulz...
I was wondering what kind of reaction would people put up if that cat was the cat-girl alien Elis instead from Asobi ni Iku yo who got thrown in the bin...
I'd flatten the house of that woman with a cruise missile.
but maybe we can be consider sick in other ways
Why...Did I get voted to 'bad'..?
If you read what I wrote carefully, I made it clear that I neither support her nor condemn her act upon that cat...
For those who are confused, I merely stated the wildfire this will cause due to her actions, be it harmful, intended, or lulzy...And yes, what she did is lulzy...
I plussed you Azure. lol
How can you forget about the cctv? It might not be important, but its necessary.
why man always looks gay and lonely when they have a cat
To attract the pussies.
For once it wasn't 2ch net detectives? I guess this sort of thing is really catching on. I bet she'll think twice next time.
If someone would do that to my cat i would be extremely mad, but this guy here seems to be too calm
Stupid old woman, should have just shoved it in the microwave like a normal person.
No less messy then lasagna microwaved without a cover.
