Cat in Wheelie Bin Woman Charged

Good news animal lovers!  Mary Bale, the woman accused of dumping a cat into a wheelie bin after being caught on a neighbors CCTV camera has been charged by the RSPCA. 

Mrs. Bale, 45, sparked international outrage when video footage of her stroking then dumping a cat into a wheelie bin was broadcast around the world.

The terrified animal was trapped for 15 hours before her owners Stephanie Andrews-Mann, 24, and husband Darryl, 26, finally found Lola, the four year old cat the following morning.

Mrs. Bale has been charged with two animal cruelty offences by the Royal Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (RSPCA) and will appear before Coventry Magistrates Court next month, accused of causing unnecessary suffering to a cat and not providing an animal with a suitable environment.

RSPCA spokeswoman Judith Haw said: ''Mary Elizabeth Bale from St Michaels Road in Coventry is due to appear before Coventry Magistrates Court on Tuesday 19 October at 10am to face two criminal charges, contrary to the Animal Welfare Act 2006.” 

We are sure that pet and animal lovers from around the world will be as pleased as we are at Cuckoo Creatures that Mrs. Bale was caught and is due to face trial in the coming weeks.

We understand that 4 year old Lola is now recovering from her ordeal at home and is planning to deal with Mrs. Bale at a later date.
