Well, I see your point, Jules.

Me? - I chose not to watch it.

Unfortunately the choice was removed completely. Its not like i tricked people into watching it and gave fair warning.

Never mind.

Glad he was caught. Just like to into this forum and not be horrified.....unless it's some of those mad yank gti's. Op I said you gave fair warning, fair play.

I like cats, I don't like them digging holes and crapping in my garden meaning a nice 'surprise' when I'm weeding around my plants and veg.

The very worst I do is a squirt with the hose though.

I can't help thinking that video is a set up?? The whole legality of pointing CCTV at the street, having it in the first place pointing at nothing useful other than a bin dead centre, rather then your door/garden, the casual nature of the owners..... RSPCA propaganda.
Sideways yo!

....According to the BBC1 news report the CCTV cams were set up to view the car on the drive for security reasons.

How on earth can they ensure the car is in the same place each day?

No, I'll stop, I'll just end up winding myself up over nothing!! ha ha.

I have a large warning, you have a choice.

Without people like myself posting the person would never have been caught and sent to prison.

I don't want links to that kind of thing on here.

If you want to refer to it and people choose to google it then thats up to them, but the simple fact is people will just click the link without reading the warning, no matter how big the warning.

BoingBoing is reporting that the woman who put the cat in the rubbish bin was outed by 4Chan's /b/tards (aka anonymous).

http://www.boingboing.net/2010/08/24/internet-finds-cat-t.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29

Almost immediately after the video started making the internet rounds yesterday, the 4chan legion set out to find this woman and destroy her life.

I don't know exactly how long it took, but within a few hours she was identified as Mary Bale, 50, of Coventry (England).

But there's more: they also found out where she worked. They posted the phone number and name of her boss. They found out where she lived, and posted a Google map of that address. They found her Facebook profile.

And because of what some suggested should be done with this info, the local police stepped in and helped her hide.

Sounds as if the 4chan legion is no better than a lynch mob. That's not fair justice. I'm interested to know what prompted the woman's actions.. Was it pre-meditated or spontaneous cruelty? Perhaps she thought the cat would come to no serious harm.. We simply don't know.

4Chan? A lynch mob? You don't say!


They love them their cats. Anything goes on the /b/ board, except for perceived cruelty to cats.
