Woman Throws Cat Into Wheelie Bin
- Thread starter Angela 0077
- Start date
A wheelie bin is collected by a truck with only a driver. He has a long arm on the side of the truck that grabs the bin and lifts it, turns the bin upside down and empties it into the truck. The driver doesn't leave his seat and it is unlikely he would hear a cat meowing.

How is it collected in the UK?
So they have to lift the bins by hand?
Ah, that explains it. In my town anyway, it doesn't matter if you have wheels or not. Your trash is picked up by a guy and dumped into the back of the truck, all at ground level.
Whatever you might think of the act of putting a cat in a wheelie bin, posting security camera footage online probably infringes this silly woman's human rights -- especially if she is now going to be subjected to vigilante attacks. She's not an SS death camp guard, for heaven's sake.

The reports of angry mobs turned out to be news reporters. The more intemperate stuff on Facebook was removed. I suspect more of it will be removed. I agree that posting the video online was a mistake, which the cat owners may end up regretting, especially since it seems the woman has a whole raft of problems.
"It was a split second of misjudgement that has got completely out of control."
You THINK!?
What a bullshit statement. It was more than a split second. The cat came up to her. If she didn't like cats, all she had to do was walk away. No, she petted it and was briefly nice to it, before (hopefully, she thought) consigning it to an unpleasant death, for having the stupidity to have come near her/trusted her.
What other "split seconds of misjudgement" has this woman done?
It just proves that you never know. Evil can lie in the heart of innocuous looking people.
I would never trust someone who could abuse/hurt an animal.

How do we know she expected it to die? She could have just as easily thought it'd be really funny for a garbage collector to open a can and find a pissed off cat. Still stupid, but not quite as vilified.
We're now being mollified by the media.
If someone did that to either of my cats, I would put them in a trash can for 15 hours.
Equally though, since mine are both indoor cats, we know if they have been missing for a few minutes.

The woman is obviously a moron who deserves what's coming to her, but wanting her dead is a bit over the top. Well, a bit... Make that a lot. Seriously, she must be really sick in the head for doing that to a cat. An error of judgement? What was there to judge or decide? What insanity leads anyone to throw a cat into a bin?
He said your comment were sexist because they were sexist. If you don't want to be called a sexist then don't make sexist comments. The same goes for enlisted person. What RJ said was spot on.

I think the real problem here is... that I don't understand Australian terminology.
No way would it have been the garbage collectors who discovered the cat. The bin wasn't out on the street and it also seemed to be reasonably empty. If it was anywhere near close to full I imagine that the cat would have been able to push the lid up from the inside.
As it was the cat would have to wait until either a) it was heard or b) the owner of the bin went to either put rubbish in the bin, or to move it out onto the street.
