I'm sure those who watch/listen to any news station (even in Australia!) will know this is a post relating to that woman in Coventry who put a cat in a wheelie-bin.
The woman has been named and shamed as 50 year-old Mary Bale and as ever facebook is involved.
The owners of the poor four-year-old feline posted on Facebook to identify her, a group arose and shame nasty comments posted before group was closed and here we are.
As I am at home most of the time now I regularly watch BBC News 24 and just before the 3pm bulletin, a unnamed BBC newsreader made a joke something along the lines of: "There's an example of cat litter then" - referring to the cat being put in the bin.
Realising what they have said, instead of just thought like most of us, and where they said it they apologised immediately for any offence but the moment had passed and it brought to the front the stories real news value.
Brought a smile to my face anyway and the newsreader recovered in time to read the headline of the same story moments later - wonder how many complaints (if any) the BBC did actually get?
Got to say it was a cruel thing to do, but she was a shade unlucky to be filmed doing it and it is NOT the worst thing in the world.
I'm sure we'll in here in time her reasons, if there are any other than it was a joke, but she'll definitely think twice before doing anything like this again.
However, it is news as it is quirky and original and a nice soft scoop to fill out a bit of air time so well done on being thrust into the media circle's spotlight, ma'am.
Just leave you with some comments from a guy called Frank Davis, found this while searching around for this piece of "news" so enjoy.
