....
Reminds me of our IT manager we had end of the 1990s. We had created a new application and stored some 3.5 million customer records on the server database. He didn't believe it and wanted to see them scroll across the screen - now wait for it - right in front of an international audience of IT specialists who were there to see our application. Duh!

They don't have a Cruelty to Animals charge in the UK?

And then you offer HER the protection? Kind of fucking backwards if you ask me.

The RSPCA will bring charges if they deem it worthwhile.
Isolated incidents wouldn't usually lead to prosecution in that the the cat was recovered alive and pretty much in good health.

Court appearances and fines are generally given to prolonged periods of abuse (starving animals who are flea-ridden, ill, with abcesses, living amogst their own filth with over/ inter-breeding etc)

And I do agree that she should be getting protection if she has received death threats.
I adore cats. If that had been Diz I would be incandescent with rage. But it's not worth the death of a human being.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (CN) - A man who was hurt in a car crash but was misidentified as a cancer patient claims security guards at Prince George's Hospital beat him up when he tried to leave the hospital to avoid chest surgery he didn't need - "to have a potentially cancerous mass removed from his chest." He adds that one guard repeatedly called him "bitch" as he roughed him up.

That's a perfect example of petty bullies, with a little power.
Here's another one, TSA at Philly airport.
Just reading this shit makes my blood boil.

AUGUST 25--A Cincinnati woman was simultaneously masturbating with a sex toy and watching a pornographic video while driving last week, according to cops who arrested her on assorted criminal charges.

Colondra Hamilton, 36, was pulled over last Tuesday evening in a traffic stop triggered when cops noticed she was driving a 2008 Pontiac with overly tinted windows.

That’s when officers noticed that Hamilton’s pants were unbuttoned. And she had a vibrator in her lap. Questioned by cops, Hamilton admitted to engaging in auto erotic manipulation, and revealed that she had also been watching a porno movie that was playing on the laptop of a friend in the passenger seat, according to an Elmwood Place Police Department report.

At least 18 mushroom-lovers have been killed in accidents while hunting for their favorite fungi in the mountains and forests of northern Italy.

Mountain rescuers say eager mushroom seekers are abandoning safety procedures as they don camouflage and hunt in darkness to protect coveted troves, la Repubblica newspaper reported on Sunday.

"There is too much carelessness. Too many people don't give a darn about the right rules and unfortunately this is the result," Gino Comelli, head of the Alpine rescue service in northwest Italy's Valle di Fassa, told the newspaper.

Seventeen people have died in nine days -- six in 48 hours alone -- mostly from sliding off steep, damp slopes in the northern mountains, la Repubblica said in a story headlined "the massacre of the mushroom hunters."

Another person has been missing for more than a week, it said.
