The cat woman
Has she been given thousands of pounds yet by some newspaper for her life story.
I just wonder how long it will be before she is invited to appear for an interview on tv as well

Never underestimate the power of the British public to get extreme about things.
The levels of self-righteous anger that sweep the nation when things like this happen are quire qorrying - but fortunately it is just people making themselves feel better by trying to be more outraged than anyone else.
Perhaps they feel it defines them as a caring person - to be willing to execute someonf for a transgration they decide is too bad to allow life to continue.
The reality is - it's hot air and means nothing at all of any consequence.
Remind you of anyone?

I'm amazed at the amount of column inches that has been devoted to this story, and even more amazed at the way people have completely freaked out about it.
Clearly the woman was a bloody idiot for doing it, but (and I know I'm going to get hammered here), it was only a cat and it didn't come to any harm - its not as if it was the Andrex puppy. Would there have been such an outpuring of vitriol had it been a rat?

Good point flip-flp.
People love to anthrapomorhisise their animals, which is why there is such an outcry when seal pups are clubbed to death - because they have fur, huge soulful eyes, and whiskers.
Truth is, they are pretty savange, and would bite your fingers off if you tried to pet one!
Would there be the same reaction if they looked like praying mantises?

I too do not understand the hysteria......but I also hate it when some say 'it was only a cat' It is a living creature that is capable of feeling hunger and and distress. The reason why so MANY are up in arms over this is because it is a domesticated pet,and so many of us DO have cats,and we know how upset we'd be had it been ours.
The woman should probably do well being given a bit of community service in a pet shelter.

Boo - I feel I need to ask why you feel my post is idiotic?
It is a little off the thread to be fair - I do understand why people are upset by this incident - I fully appreciate their feelings - it's the self-righteous OTT postings on the Net that i can't be doing with - and that's why I take issue.
So please advise your issue with my post - I am intrigued.
