While im not condoning what this women has done, do people not think there are more serious offences that are new worthy?

Im getting really tired of how the UK tabloids latch on to a stupid incident and make it in to a national crises.

Its a bloody cat for gods sake. With mothers killing their kids happening over here i would expect these people to be hated more, but oh no.

Whats the world coming to.

Is there any human action we can think of where we couldn't say; "isn't there something more serious?"

Whatever someone does, someone has always done something worse. That might not mean we should pay no attention to the smaller things.

...I haven't watched the video, by the way. From everyone's reaction here - I don't want to.

I've been tired of UK tabloids for thirty six years now. Their ok when your learning to read though, if you treat em as comic's.

The state of the tabloids is a sad indictment their readers.
The way we have allowed such a vapid, style over substance focused. tv addicted society to develop is probably the biggest crime of all.

women puts cat in bin or women kills children?

Of course there is always something worse but i would put the cat incident way down the list.

Yes, we should pay attention to the smaller incidents but to say this women is the most hated women in the UK when there are obviously more serious crimes is just ridiculous IMO.

And we have the tabloids to thank for all the hysteria created over this.

Hi again fliplip: but why do we need to make a list? We have time and attention enough to spare for all of these things.

For sure, if someone was hurting a cat and someone else was killing a child simultaneously right in front of my eyes I'd attend to the child first. But for some reason it seldom seems to happen that way...

Far as tabloids are concerned, we are often told that if we didn't buy them they wouldn't do what they do. I have never, ever bought a red-top - but for some strange reason they don't seem to have altered their editorial policy accordingly. Can't understand it.

One, ten, one hundred, one thousand or even ten thousand potential readers not buying a product is nothing to the average sales of a rag.

The only thing such old's'papers have ever done to us is to desensitize us to the abhorrent crimes that occur. Thats the only reason this cat has made such a impact, you never see it reported.
Get yourselves down to Huntingdon Life Sciences and you'll soon be desensitized to all sorts of animal cruelty thats happened for years and years.
It's not been reported on in recent times.

In this case the ladies crime is horrible. But then again all crime is. It's a lawless uncaring act against society. Whether it be scrumping apples or murder, it all has consequences that the perpetrator doesn't care about or even consider. The whole notion of big and small crimes is a nonsense. You shouldn't break the law.

hehe a couple things,

1 I agree Molly would have shredded the lady long before she could have picked her up, not so much that she is a good judge of character like Randel, but because she has a bit of a mean streak, and does not trust strangers.

2 yes there are much more serious crimes, but that should not excuse lower offenses, nor does it make it less distasteful when a person is so needlessly cruel.

3 Although the tabloids are horribly vapid and unreadable, for most people, I think it might be a really fun job, either writing the bilge that fills them, or doctoring the photos. I can't imagine too many other jobs where you could let your imagination range as freely, and in fact be encouraged to completely ignore reality.

There was a guy in St. John's NL who had paid a pet care company to feed both his cats while he was gone for 7 weeks and they charged him $350 for this service.When he returned last week there was no sign of his cats so he called the police.The neighbours had not seen the worker or the cats for over 2 weeks ,when police questioned her she admitted that she had not fed the cats and they starved to death and she had dumped their bodies in a nearby park.This psycho told her employer a completely different story even saying that she had passed a polygraph test which most likely is B.S. and now her employer is backing her up.Needless to say the whole province is in an uproar over this and people are screaming for her blood.It's about time that animal cruelity laws were made way stiffer and the evil bastards that abuse animals are put away.

Hi.

Yes, i agree with you, all crimes are not to be tolerated and im in no way saying this women doesn't deserve all she gets (what ever the law decides of course)

Its just the "most" bit im not getting. And i feel this label is down to the way its been reported.

Yep, that's fair enough.


My wife had a mean streak. It was at two o'clock in the morning when there was no one around to watch.

See what I did there...?

Just to even the score.....
