The woman should be charged with animal abuse (or whatever) and the owner of the cat should be cited under leash laws for allowing his cat to roam freely outside.

Oh definitely! Abuse! Abuse!
And then, every person purchasing this cat carrier should by charged with animal abuse as well:

No harm was done to the cat; how is it abuse?

I am sure you'd raise bloody hell and cry for abuse charges with anyone pulled a similar stunt with your livestock.

Wrong. If one of our animals was loose and we weren't home, I'd be happy that someone put it somewhere that confined it, so long as the animal was not harmed. Now, if the animal was in the pasture and someone tried to do that, then my feelings don't enter into the matter - you'd have to ask the dogs if they'd be upset about that, and you'd have to ask the guard llamas. I'm thinking they would be upset just that you went into the pasture without me.

waht if we put your child in a wheelie bin for 15 hours with no food or water.

Yes i am comparing kittens to children. Kittens are far superior

Well the cat was on their wall...hardly loose. Also the cat was hardly harm free. It was hot in that bin as well as stressing the animal. Imagine how hard it would be to breathe inside a trash can FULL OF TRASH. However, with such a convoluted answer we can see you'd be in a rage about this.

Not just trash alone. Its own excrements. No matter what animal/mammal we are talking about whether its a kitten or someone's kid, it's disgusting and I'm glad this old bag is getting hell for it.

I don't understand why any cat owners let their cat run around loose??? Some people don't like cats.

This is such a fucking joke. I can't believe you think that's in any way comparable to this situation. Maybe if the woman had left a note on the owners' door explaining the situation and also left something on the trash bin indicating that's where the cat was. I mean, if she actually did it because she was concerned the cat would run off and be lost, she would have somehow contacted the owners.

What she did was completely different and there is no way you can defend her actions.

Its absolutely normal in the UK to let your cat 'run around loose'. I find it very odd (and a bit cruel) when people _don't_ let their cat come and go as it pleases.

Now I have an image of someone coming home and finding a cow or a horse stuck in their wheelie bin!

I don't know what it's like in the UK but I don't let my cats out, ever. It's just too dangerous. We live in a pretty crowded residential area; not a whole lot of traffic on our street but there's a high-traffic road just a block away. Plus I just learned that the people two doors down have a dog that killed another neighbor's cat, right in front of a little girl too. That dog is a fucking menace to society; it also attacked my next door neighbor's dog as he was carrying it. Could have seriously hurt my neighbor and did seriously hurt his dog. I was mowing their lawn once and the dogs just went apeshit barking at me. I wouldn't even let my child outside if I had one. Definitely not my cats. If I had a child or if my cat had been killed I wouldn't rest until that dog got put down.

My parents, though, are way out in a rural area and they let their cat roam free. It's quite different.

Maybe because I would like to keep my cat from being injured by another animal, catch a disease, get run over by a car, or harmed by animal cruelty.

Depends on the area I guess, whether its houses with gardens or appartment blocks. And on how common violent dogs and people are in your neighbourhood. But cats on people's garden walls like that one are a very common sight everywhere I've ever lived.

what about the mess the cat makes should I clean it? I don't have cats. I am not from katmandu or a katmandu.

So, if someone threw one of your chickens in a trash barrel and you didn't find it 15 hours later, dehydrated and possibly close to death, you'd be fine with that? If this person's intention was to let it die and even though it didn't, you'd be fine?
