Pink Babe
Croc 
I was in a supermarket 2 weeks ago, this woman with her grand-daughter ,who was about 2 , was having a bad time with her as she was taking a full tantrum, The woman was screaming at her, then put her in a trolley. The child was still screaming so she punched her with a closed fist, a few times. I left my shopping and went over to her and words were spoken i can tell you!! The shop was full and not ONE person said nothing. Now had that been a cat......i think the world has gone mad , all this for a cat and people turn their backs on small children being battered 
Dont get me wrong, i dont condone what this woman did, i am an animal lover myself. But what a strange world we live in

I really find it annoying that people who are concerned about this lovely, friendly little cat can be accused of not caring about bigger stuff in the world. Of course we all care about the Pakistan floods. Of course we all care about children being abused, people getting murdered, etc. Does caring about one subject automatically mean you don't care about others? No. And I've a feeling that people who care about one small, defenceless little animal are MORE likely to also care about the bigger things, not less.
I totally agree. I am sick and tired of this same kind of pious attitude from some, that people who were incensed by this putrid woman's act of cruelty, don't care about Pakistan, Haiti, the starving in Africa and the soldiers dying in the middle east etc etc etc. What a narrow minded way to think and what a presumptious sweeping generalisation. People who abuse animals are naturally very cruel, cold, callous people, and it's a well-documented fact that many serial killers start off with hurting animals. So God knows what this hideous woman has done before. Maybe threatening the woman with death is a bit OTT, but some people under-estimate the passion that some people feel towards the care of animals, and how it makes you SO angry when someone hurts and/or causes great distress to a small defenceless animal like this little cat Lola.
Saying it's 'only a cat' is all well and good, but like I heard someone say the other day, 'why not smash Mary Bale in the face with a baseball bat,' after all, it's ONLY a stupid callous fat old bag.' This was someone else's words; not mine, but this is just an example... Moreover, I can't believe how much she resembles Rose West... strange that.
Finally, I find it laughable that people are so utterly incensed by someone's throwaway comment simply saying 'jog on,' What a load of fuss about a small, relatively innoffensive comment. Some people are just too sensitive. I have seen far worse comments on here; some from the people who are so outraged at the 'jog on' comment!
The woman in question, didnt look the "full shilling" maybe thats why she wasnt prosecuted. Its a worry how many nutters are on the street, curtesy of the social work department and "do gooders" 
Cockney Chick, before opening your mouth and commenting on stuff about 'jog on' I suggest u read further down and see what it was in reference too... it was explained.. people are sensitive for a reason.... some people just can't help themselves but 'carry on' stuff that had finished several pages back...

oh well done Good for you, too often people just don't want to get involved... fancy punching a 2 year old

No without doubt you did the right thing (I'd have just jumped in and thought about the consequences afterwards when I in a cell - and the mum would have ended up being the victim which wouldn't have solved anything), just hope that Social Services do something.It angers me senseless that there's couples out there who pay thousands upon thousands for IVF treatment and may never end up having kids, and you get women like that who push these kids out and don't give a shit about them
Thanks Saz, it was very distressing , i cried all the way home . I have a 2 year old grand daughter and the thought of hitting her is not in my brain
I know Karma

Good for you!Sometimes doing the right thing takes a lot of guts.I am sure others may have walked on. I admire the stance you took.

Its just so unfair isn't it, people who would make the most wonderful parents who can't have kids, and then there's people who seem to keep having them with no thought and just dont seem to give a crap Reference:

I bet you gave her an extra big cuddle when you saw her next 
I did swither but my mobile was in my pocket and i couldnt go home without doing something, i phoned 999 and told them, i am glad i did because they were known anyway. What really angered me was when i was shouting at the woman, people were looking at me as if I were mad !!

I did xxxxx

By this it makes it look like you're saying it's the same people who are disgusted by the way the cat was treated that turned their backs on a child being punched. If the woman punching her child had been caught on film and publicised I bet it would have got the same coverageReference:

same here Karma. There's a thing in this country now about "not getting involved" and in some cases I agree with that. Gangs fighting in the street, drunks fighting outside a pub etc but where kids are concerned I think maybe people should get involved more.
Cagney, i dont mean that at all. Children get battered every day in life , but its a You tube world we live in, and this sort of thing goes world wide . Had i got the camera from the shop and put it on You Tube, it probably wouldve went all over the world. The fact was i was in a huge supermarket, on my own, and not ONE person said nothing . It happened there and then, the poor child was crying and probably sore with being punched. I am not saying people care more about cats than children. I certainly wouldnt put a child being thumped on you tube, i am not that sick...
This is what I meant by my last post Skylark. People don't want to get involved. Especially where children are concerned. I don't get that. I apologise if I offended but it's how I read your post.
I don't understand why she put it on FB. Anyone who uses those sites must know it would cause an outrage.

No probs Cagney, its hard writing things down, if we were face to face we could chat

Why am I not surprised you find it laughable,given the *throwaway* comments you made I guess to expect anything else would be completely unrealistic....I expect the usual poor me pity me reply,now THAT is laughable.
Wonder if they respond... they ignored mine and karma's post above... no surprise there thou...

Careful now or you'll be classed as a bully....
I'm so sensitive to animal suffering as well as human suffering that I did all I could to avoid the story of what the woman did so I never knew till 2 days ago what she actually did, as despite my protestations someone I know was determined to let me know what she did. I'm so relieved the cat is still alive but for people like her I've no understanding at all, she may as well live on a different planet to me. I deal with animal suffering regularly because of human behaviour and attitude, many humans sicken me.
While scrolling very quickly to get to the last page I saw mention of human suffering, e.g Pakistan. I'm a member of a huge site with tens of thousands of members that brings all current issues to light from around the world, whether humanitarian or animal related of all the species around the world. The average person has no clue what's going on in this world with cruelty beyond belief, whether towards humans or all animal species.

I find it more amazing that someone can label it a small relatively inoffensive comment!
I shall be a control! I will use the expression to totally refreshed strangers in Church Street, Hartlepool at 1am.
If you want to use it in the context of the thread then only say it to people with walking sticks or wheelchairs Joe 
with any news story we read there is always going to be other stories that are more shocking and awful so it's a bit pointless comparing it to earthquakes and child abuse
i still think this women is a grade A w"nker and needs to seek help

I am aware of the subtext Saz! I've been around these forums for a few years and like you found that offensive. However I find the term annoying also, and assume that the further North one goes it gets worse. When anyone has used it to me in the past (in the other place) I have found it patronising and dismissive.Reference:

The term itself is a colloquialism and is, in itself, nothing. However, the context in which it is used can speak volumes, which it did in this instance.
In case you missed yesterday's news, this from the BBC:
A woman from Coventry who was filmed dumping a cat in a wheelie bin has been charged with animal cruelty offences.
Mary Bale, of St Michael's Road, has been charged with causing unnecessary suffering to a cat and of not providing the animal with a suitable environment.
The incident happened in August and the RSPCA said it was taking the 45-year-old to court under the Animal Welfare Act of 2006.
She is due to appear before Coventry Magistrates Court on 19 October.
The RSPCA said it had served Ms Bale with a court summons on Sunday.
