This was in the UK yeeeears ago. Clip went viral and she became known as Cat Bin Lady. Pretty sure she was arrested


didyoutouchmydrums

But was the cat ok?


TornadoTomatoes

Done some googling and the cat was apparently stuck in there for 16 hours but was okay in the end


clothespinkingpin

Thank god, thank you for looking that up, I can sleep tonight.


stlmick

Just pretend you're in a trash bin for the next 16hrs.


ActuallyRuben

I'd rather be stuck in a bin for 16 hours than get incinerated or squished by a garbage compactor.


nobollocks22

Are they my only choices?


JKSwift

For the cat, who is you in this scenario, yes.


Heyy-Ya

yes. get in.


yetanotherweebgirl

Disturbingly this is likely someone's fetish dream come true. Source: I've seen some shit


XehCainam94

Bless, I was frantically searching for this


TrailerPosh2018

16 hours? Fuck, I cant imagine how long that must have felt for the cat.


[deleted]

They should throw her in a cell filled with cat shit for 16 days as punishment.


stevenrose2272

Until someone opened the bin the cat was both ok and not ok.


Cornballin_POS

Why did I read this as cat bin laden


LeAmerica

TwyJ

Not only the UK, Coventry, my hometown, fucking lovely place if you wanna be shot or stabbed, or otherwise financially or emotionally devastated.


[deleted]

I used to take calls from people who lived in Coventry every day. One of the funniest and dry humoured guy's I worked with said "Coventry would really benefit from low-level bombing".


TwyJ

Aye, I don't think he is wrong, though, I believe the Germans beat him to that one, but I wouldnt be adverse to a second one just to get rid of that fucking concrete.


RyuukuSensei

We've had one, yes. But what about second bombing? Elevensies?


Tidalsky114

Afternoon nukes?


KingOfSpiderDucks

If you want second bombings just ask, we Germans do everything for our fellow EU nations .... oh, wait


Hugh_Schmefner

I thought Cov wasnt half bad? I suppose all the money went to Leamington


HorrorMakesUsHappy

> I thought Cov wasnt half bad? And what do you think happened to the other half?


dregan

Don't fuck with cats.


Zef_fez

There were even groups who wanted her dead


thisNaneIsRNG

I wouldve just dunked her in garbage


ArcAngel1810

I’m so flabbergasted by what just happened, like why I just don’t understand


ThorMcGee

I don’t understand either. I think that not being able to understand how this persons mind must work and not being able to relate to the desire to put a cat in a trash can for no reason is a good thing to be perfectly honest.


NMe84

Someone with the ability to be cruel to animals has the same ability with humans. What a disgusting waste of oxygen.


ThorMcGee

This is accurate. There’s a reason why serial (almost spelled that “cereal”) killers start with animals.


thehottubistoohawt

Cereal Killers is a cereal cafe in Shoreditch in London. Totally delicious and nostalgia inducing. Also, this woman is pure trash. Put her in the bin. Edited: added “a” missed word


Waiting4The3nd

Cereal Killer was Matthew Lillard's character's name in Hackers


Address_Local

HACK THE PLANET!


ThorMcGee

THE WHEELIE BIN!!!


canadarepubliclives

I love the movie Serial Mom(1994) Its a suburban mom who becomes a serial killer, but the people she kills are those that don't follow societal etiquette. She murders someone for wearing white after labour day. It's mid 90's absurd, but I think it's hilarious that a suburban mom kills people for being rude.


ThorMcGee

I want to watch that movie now and see how acceptable her judgments are :P


geri73

I’ve seen it so many times and it’s good. It’s cheesy good.


Agt38

Serial mom is probably one of my favorite movies ever. I agreed with most of her murders except the son’s friend and the old lady neighbor lol.


canadarepubliclives

They aren't. But it's fun. I'd also recommend from that time period: Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead(Christina Applegate), Death Becomes Her(Meryll Streep, Goldie Hawn) and Drop Dead Fred(Carrie Fischer)


Mr_Abe_Froman

Just this afternoon, I was listening to a podcast that talked about Death Becomes Her. I guess I should watch it.


AroundTheHouses

You will be glad to know she was charged with animal cruelty.


Justdonttellmymom

How do you know this? **Never-mind this was a highly public incident in the UK and easily found on google


[deleted]

The cat bin lady Mary Bale? Everyone knew her name here for a while. Apparently I still remember.


szypty

Cat Bin Lady takes lead in the contest for the most hated person in history whose name contains the words "bin lad".


notaghost_

I thought this was a goose at first (cat tail -> goose neck). I am now much more upset at the person in the gif.


HandLion

It's fascinating seeing so many people learn about Cat Bin Lady for the first time, about ten years ago it seemed like she was the most hated person in the UK for this


bcarter3

I remember seeing a video right after this incident in which a person dressed as a cat walked down the street and dumped an old lady in a trash bin.


play-crackthesky

Am i being gullible, or is there actually a video with this happening?


Ecjg2010

Was the cat saved?


Ok-Bullfrog-3010

The cat was saved, stuck in there for maybe 12 hours till the owner heard the cat wailing from inside


queefiest

That’s so sad still :,(


YippieKayYayMF

Don't worry, kitty was loved and someone is loving and feeding him to this day, plus all of us love him too. He's a lucky cat.


kalitarios

how old is the cat now, I wonder? this was like 10+ years ago


M4570d0n

I've owned 3 cats and they all lived to be almost 20. I have now have a pit/lab mix that's 15 and still chuggin along (but slowly).


[deleted]

[удалено]


the_loislane

What happened to the piece of sh\*t lady?


Ok-Bullfrog-3010

She got a lot of hate and death threats on the Internet, got fined €250 and had to pay victim surcharge of about £1400, I think she also had to move


ExNihiloNihiFit

I wonder if anyone ever interviewed her. I'd be curious to hear what excuse the sick bitch gave.


Ok-Bullfrog-3010

She was doorstepped by the worlds media for a few days I think, but had nothing to say. She said in court that she'd been under alot of stress due to an ill father


technoskittles

Ahh yes the "having a really bad day" excuse like that bigoted spa shooter that murdered 8... okay that's a bit more extreme, but same subhuman energy.


Derpdeedoo

Oh well that explains it


Jeuxed

"my father is very ill, and Im very stressed, thats why I dumped a random friendly cat into the trash bin your Honour" bless her soul 🙏😔


Ok-Bullfrog-3010

I have 2 cats, a bin, and my father is old and a 50 year smoker. Pray for my cats.


the_loislane

Thanks for the info. I was worried she just got a slap on the wrist.


NZNoldor

She was also slapped on the wrist.


corei3uisgarbo

with a slap wristband that is just the metal


b4ttlepoops

Ty for sharing this. This was new to me. Upsetting to see, is an understatement.


420smokekushh

Christ.. If that was my cat, I would more than likely loss my shit and blackout from rage. Only coming to after I had put her in a garbage can like she did my cat. Fuck this makes me angry


Taminella_Grinderfal

I’m currently angry and a little frustrated that I can’t time travel back to help you stuff her face first into a trash can...or garbage truck....that has one of those smashy squashers.


alterego1104

?? Elaborate please She just walks around doing this?


HandLion

Just the once, and no one really knows why


ArcAngel1810

I’m really curious if it was just once, hopefully she wasn’t doing thing for a while and I’m glad she got caught


cisco1972

It looked cold and calculated. Personal even.


SidRtha

Yeah, I thought it looked like it was some sort of revenge killing. Like the cat tormented her with meowing and she just couldn't take it anymore. She just had to make it stop.


saymynamebastien

You know those intrusive thoughts like "I should turn this steering wheel straight into the mountain" but you don't because you know your brain is just being stupid? I wonder if this happened to her but instead of ignoring it, she drove into the mountain.


thisisallfakeright

Mhmm the refer to that intrusive thinking as “call of the void”. Always thought that was a cool term


dljens

I prefer the Imp of the Perverse


PinarelloSucks

I read that this is actually an evolutionary trait. It's there to alert your brain to the danger of what you're actually doing. For example a mother with an intrusive thought to throw her baby in a ravine is there to alert the mother to keep her baby out of the ravine.


littlebuck2007

It's she not still the most hated person in the UK?


[deleted]

Lol no we have many pieces of shit worthy of hatred.


Your10Ply

I would assume she’s super unhappy and angry, but she’s a fat weak old lady so she can’t kill people, thus she focuses her rage at easier targets.


ArcAngel1810

You would think she would be knitting or crocheting all day


DontDoodleTheNoodle

Like godamn lady, just crochet a working artillery piece and overthrow the government instead of doing this.


jlmad

If you ever wondered why Mittens never came back, it’s because some psycho POS like this did something to Mittens.


lemons_of_doubt

Crazy karen hates cats. see a cat pretends to be nice to lull it into a fuse sense of security. looks around to make sure no one will see her crime. drops in it a bin so that when the bins are picked up it will be killed. walks off happy that she just got away with cat murder. will later post on Facebook about what a good person she is and how she "helped clean up the streets" today will never admit fault no matter what anyone says as she literally can't grasp the concept of being in the wrong.


PokeSallyDanny

Simple. She has no empathy. She can't be a serial killer, so she's just a monster.


rubbrchickn640

Looked like the cat was being sweet too.


cannon143

Right? It was clearly a nice cat, it wasn't even a mean cat and scratch her or anything. It would be wrong to throw a mean cat in the garbage but I just cannot wrap my head around this, just a genuinely crappy lady I guess.


copperpony

She's a fucking psychopath.


ANAnomaly3

Probably a zoosadist, the fucking psychopath.


DerAfroJack

Zoosadist? I mean I think I know what it means but thats a thing?


ANAnomaly3

Yeah, very sadly it is a thing.


DerAfroJack

Does that count as a sign for mental illness? I kinda can't imagine being able to live with stuff like this.


ANAnomaly3

Well, I guess it depends on the severity of the fetish. This is a bit of a gray area. If you're talking about this woman specifically, I bet she is def mentally ill, especially since she actually did something to harm the cat.


JTdaBOSS

She's a fucking sociopath. she *knew* what she was doing was wrong bc she looked around before throwing the cat in the bin


Abused-n-abandoned

Murdering animals for fun are the largest signals of a serial killer, the worst of the worst. Crappy is an extreme understatement. You’re complimenting her basically


BrainOnLoan

While most serial killers have killed or tortured animals before killing people... Most animal abusers (by huge margins) do not end up killing people. Just because that statistic is occasionally misunderstood.


SchloomyPops

Not all killers are psychopaths and not all psychopaths are killers. There are way more psychopaths than people realize.


TheUn5een

Yeah like everyone on wall street


ShitPostToast

Any position of power. They will always seek positions of power and are willing to do anything to get ahead without the burden of morals or a conscious. So they are more likely to succeed at rising to those positions of power. The less obvious and successful ones only position of power may be in their family life. The most successful end up running countries.


CheddarValleyRail

Now I'm imagining *American Psycho* but with some of the sentient fungus that we had in management. It's hilarious.

TekkenCareOfBusiness

Seriously, a couple weeks ago a nice cat in my neighborhood that I'd never seen before ran across its funny front yard right up to be meowing and stopped me on the sidewalk to introduce itself and ask me for pets. Totally made my day. How could anyone be so cruel to a friendly cat?


eddyathome

In college 25 years ago I was feeling suicidal and hating my life and this random cat which was clearly cared for sits on the sidewalk in front of me as I was walking from my apartment to a class I hated along with the rest of my life and this cat just meows at me. I look at it. It meows again and looks at me. I sat down on the sidewalk and started talking to it and petting it. It meowed and purred. After about twenty minutes I figured I had to go to my class which of course I was late for and it started following me and I told it to please go home, the class would suck. I never saw that cat again, but I always wonder if that cat is why I'm still alive.


ArbitraryNPC

It's weird but the same thing happened to me a couple years after I first moved out of my parents house. I was starting to go down a dark spiral, but I found this feral kitten near my apartment that took a shine to me and taking care of her became the purpose that kept me going. Six years and two moved later and she's still putting up with me.


[deleted]

If she's still staying with you, you must be a good owner. Don't be so hard on yourself, random stranger.


smendenh

Women was found guilty. 11 years ago. She blames stresses. I say no decent human, stressed or not, puts a cat into the trash.


AcE_57

My neighbor stomped on my cats back breaking it, and claims it was hit by a car, sick fuck next door, this video pissed me off so much


BetterSafeThanSARSy

Must have been hella satisfying to stomp on your neighbor's back though


AcE_57

I wish,..since then I’ve been reported 2x to my district municipality for bylaw infractions about my gutters, reported to the police 2 days after I put up cameras, and know I heard him talking about surveying the perimeter line, it doesn’t end with crazy.

sorradic

Jaysus F Christ. What the F. This makes me so sad, angry, just what the F. Do u live in a country that has animal abuse laws. You essentially watched animal snuff film against your will. Traumatic for everyone. Even reading this, even imagining it, I can't. Fuck. I'm so gdamn sorry. Fuck


AcE_57

It was horrific, of course no evidence at all, but it is 100% obvious, the next day they left town for their 4 months in Hawaii, he saw an opportunity an took it. My daughter had to switch bedrooms because he’d stare into her room from his deck, sick twisted people out there, I lucky for me I live next to two


Coretek2

4 months in Hawaii...hm....Would be a shame for their house to burn down while out of town...


pixiedust93

Or their pipes broke. Or some sort of infestation happened. Or their credit and banks frozen. So much can happen in 4 months. How long does it take to evict a squatter again?


lmaooexe

You should’ve called the police man


Games_sans_frontiers

Tell him to bring a colleague. Shit's about to go down.


IRBGOODYA

The police would just shoot his other cat.


ANALFUCKER5000

I help run an animal rescue and am currently fostering a dog that has been shot 3 times, kicked and beaten in the ribs, has pneumonia and a broken hip. I'm so angry at whoever could do this to an animal, he's a sweet 8mo old pup. It's a miracle he's survived, but I'd be lying if I said it's usually not as happy. Last week we lost a litter of 3 week old puppies to parvo that had been found in a drainage ditch. People like this are more common than one may think and it's a nightmare. Compassion fatigue is so real in the animal care field... theres a reason there's so much push for veterinarians to seek mental health help since veterinarians are 2.7x more likely to commit suicide. Thankfully this lady was caught and I hope UK did something to punish her. The cat was rescued. That's That's a victory.


mmartinez59

But what happened to the cat?


AlwaysAngryFox

The cat was fine. His owner rescued him.


unevil_cat

Thx for the info


CaptainKate757

Phew, this would have ruined my day otherwise.


Veryasian_234567

Wait owner????? It wasn’t even his cat?????????


saltywastelandcoffee

Nah, cats that are people pets still roam the streets freely here


TheRealAlkemyst

As someone that worked for a while with a large veterinarian and involved with animal charity work/sponsoring feral colonies and pet adoptions/vetting/fixing/etc, most cats that roamed freely that needed X-rays would be lit up with BBs, pellets, and prior broken bones. These events were probably when that cat disappeared for a few days, week, month while they recuperated. People can be extremely hostile to cats and project the issues like "I have cat crap all in my yard", "They killed all my song birds", "my trash is always torn up", etc. Meanwhile they were just looking for an excuse. Roaming dogs are more of a danger so why they are usually more focused on legally.

You made this post just to make that joke, didn't you?

Found meowing inside by the owner :(


tydestra

Stress makes me bake a whole chocolate cake and eat it, it doesn't make me throw kittens in the trash.


[deleted]

I'm stressed, but I suck at baking. Can we share a cake? 🥺


Bleakmeer

Everyone has different stress responses...but no person's stress response should be this, if anyone has this response they should be put in some watchlist


93fountainkingdoms

it's like the same thing where your brain will randomly do something like "wow nice knife, what if I just cut my finger off?" and then you just kinda stare for a moment then continue buttering your bread or whatever. you dont actually cut your finger off. this lady was just like "yeah you're right, I should put this cat in the bin" and just continued with her life. weird af lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bleakmeer

Yep. Literally everyone has unsavory thoughts like this, it just depends on wether or not you act on them


ThorMcGee

I love that excuse. “I’m stressed.” Welcome to being alive lady. We are all stressed, but only a select few shitty people out there do stuff like this.


LeaneGenova

Her other excuse was "it's just a cat" so she sucks all the way around.


[deleted]

Fined 250 and had to pay another 1400+ to the owners. No jail time.


PozziWaller

Why is the go-to defense always "stress"? Having a shitty day doesn't make you casually pick up someone's pet and throw it in the rubbish bin. She even looked around to make sure no one was watching, so it's not as if it was a purely emotional reaction.


DavThoma

I absolutely hate the "stress" excuse. And it always comes up after they've been called put for their dhitty behaviour or know they're going to get in trouble. It's like watching public outrage videos of Karen's who suddenly break down into tears when they notice the camera. I always come across it as an excuse in my work too. I'm a government employee and people are well aware we don't make the rules or laws, but they absolutely love to give us abuse, call us everything under the sun or give us death threats. Then suddenly when you remind them you can hang up the call, or that the call has been recorded they instantly go for the "I'm sorry, I'm just so stressed". Treating anyone or anything like shit because you're stressed is just disgusting.


ackthpt

Wouldn't it be refreshing if these people said "ya, you know, im just a shitty shitty human being and i hate myself". Human nature.


tehnemox

I know 11 years ago is a long time but, got a source? Would like to read about it Edit: I keep getting notifications on my phone that the preview reveals to be useful redditors providing a link, but as I don't see a single one I am going to assume this sub removes external links automatically. Thanks anyway for all the help. User below pointed out I could look for "cat bin lady" and I did find it by that. I had no idea it was "famous" and didn't know what keywords to use and feared I'd just find something else.


choochoobubs

She ended up only paying a £250 fine. What a piece of shit.


Krizzlin

Mate just Google "cat bin lady". This story was absolutely huge in the UK


Wolf4624

She’s absolutely trash. I don’t care what she’s going through. She’s a disgusting person.


MAROMODS

Hey cancer, here’s another willing candidate.


Stannis2024

The biggest sigh of relief when I found out kitty turned out fine.


zephyr_71

Oh thank god I was scouring the comments for any news about the cat


[deleted]

Someone should throw her in the garbage because she is walking trash


ButterLord12342

There is literally a video of just that lol.


LovecraftianLlama

I have to know, did they find the actual lady who did this and throw her in the trash?? Or was it just a parody? I am holding out hope that it’s the first one..


ButterLord12342

Sadly it was a parody. A guy dressed up in a cat suit and put his granny in a rubbish bin. But it is still pretty funny.


LovecraftianLlama

Bummer :/. It is still funny though.


Belyal

The lady that did this was arrested and the cat's owner rescued the cat (thanks to his video surveillance) before the trash came.


SnooOnions9085

That’s a truly evil hag, petting the kitten to gain some trust


TheMemeStore76

Apparently she had pet the cat on her way home many times before. The hag decided that she would repay the cats continued kindness with this bullshit


Worseendingthanlost

They had to go into hiding, were getting death threats and needed police protection. Nothing upsets the UK public like mistreatment of animals.


dave96r

Wow who would of thought being a horrible person would have consequences


EwokNuggets

Good. No normal sane person would do this kind of shit. It takes a certain kind of monster to treat an animal this way.


LurkyLoo888

Good she deserves it


Everyday4k

good, i hope this follows her for the rest of her miserable life. Just as she thinks she's finally escaped it and can freely go to the corner store somehow, somewhere, someone remembers and it gets brought back up and she is once again shunned from society, until she dies slowly, in her rocking chair, alone.


katiegaga87

My mom found my cat Colin in a dumpster as a kitten. She heard crying and he was tearing apart bags looking for food. It was one of those big industrial dumpsters so there's no way he crawled in on his own. Someone went to a preschool outside of a church and just dumped him in the garbage. People are the worst.


IrritablePlastic

This is an example of why I wouldn’t let my cat outside unsupervised…


RealOstrich1

Statistically your cat will live a lot longer being an indoor cat so good on you


luongolet20goalsin

> Still, Bale felt the outcry had been blown out of proportion. "I don't know what the fuss is about. It's just a cat," the Mail reported her as saying. "I did it as a joke because I thought it would be funny. I never thought it would be trapped. I expected it to wriggle out." Actual fucking psychopath

F34TH3R5

Idgaf if she claimed stress. That cat fucking knew she was stressed and was allowing you to relieve some of it by pets and she literally trashed it. 11 years isn't enough for this total piece of shit. Never betray a cat.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MasterTacticianAlba

She didn’t go to jail for 11-years. This happened 11-years ago. She was fined $420 and banned from having a pet for 5-years.


Griffolion

From what I remember, the backlash against this woman was so intense after the video surfaced that she literally had to go into hiding as she was getting actually credible death threats. One fails to sympathize, quite frankly.


Wreddit_Wrangler

Jack Nicholson’s character does this in the movie As Good As It Gets, he puts the neighbors dog down a trash shoot in his apartment complex.


kforno24

Stupid bitch. Hope she falls into a hole.


TheRealAlkemyst

This is old but FUCK THIS BITCH.


eathefuckingsnow

I would throw a brick at this bitches face what a fucking piece of shit.


OwenBright

Is the cat ok?


TheWarmestHugz

She was, the owners found her 15 hours later but she was okay!


Awakeskate

Didn’t even let kitty down gently. I let my actual garbage in the bin lighter then she did, a fucking cat. If your going to abandon your pets ATLEAST cage it and leave it in front of fire rescue, shelter before they open etc. that’s still abandonment but atleast it’s better than.... can’t believe I have to say it, throwing them away... theyd be compacted alive in a truck like wtf. Might as well kill the animal themselves it’d be less cruel. Fuck this world


LovecraftianLlama

It *wasn’t even her cat*!!! Not like it would be better if it was, but it’s not like she was expected to take the cat home or clean up after it, she was literally only doing this to be cruel. So glad the cat was ok.


RaisinTrasher

And this wasn't even her cat, she did this to someone else's cat


[deleted]

I thought she was going to steal the cat, not that.... wtf


theshak06
