Coventry - Shocking
CCTV footage has been released of a middle-aged woman in the UK petting the friendly kitten before picking it up and dumping it in the owner's garbage bin.Daryll and Stephanie Mann, owners of Lola the kitten, heard her crying from inside the garbage bin at their Coventry, England home.
After playing back footage from their security camera, they were shocked to see the deed was done by a mature, grey-haired woman.
Mr Mann told Sky News: "I was shocked how someone could do something like that to an animal. I know some people don't like cats, but you wouldn't expect them to do that to an animal that can't defend itself."

stuck in the garbage for 16 hours, from Saturday evening until the Mann's went out to lunch on Sunday afternoon and heard her crying."Anyone who witnessed anything or who recognises the person responsible is urged to call the RSPCA national cruelty and advice line on 0300 1234 999, leaving a message for inspector Nicky Foster."
UPDATE WED 25 AUG
Under police protection as the death threats continued to pour in, cat dumper Mary Bale went into full apology mode yesterday.The 45-year-old bank cashier had earlier insisted she could not understand the fuss after she was filmed tossing Lola the tabby into a wheelie bin.
'It was a split second of misjudgment that has got completely out of control. I am due to meet with the RSPCA and police to discuss this matter and will cooperate fully with their investigations.'
But she claimed the outcry had been blown out of all proportion: 'I don't know what the fuss is about. It's just a cat.'
