I recently read in one of the local papers (Wentworth Courier 12/3/08) that a woman was arrested after she was caught throwing a cat enclosed in a cage into the Bondi Beach ocean pool. A witness retrieved the cat from the pool and called the police. Good on him. The poor moggy was treated for hypothermia and water on the lungs.


I wonder what has happened to the cat. He was probably sent to the local animal shelter. I hope he’s still alive and healthy. A follow up story in the Daily Telegraph hasn’t mentioned the cat’s fate.

What a horrible way to die. I’d like to throw that woman in a cage and toss her into the Pacific Ocean and see how she feels as she starts to drown, unable to escape. The cage could be surrounded by sharks like the ones you see on TV. Ugh.

The good part was the woman did get arrested. I think of Butterscotch and Gingersnap, my friend’s beloved Tonks being enclosed in a cage and thrown into the sea and my eyes begin to water. I’m not the only one who is personally affected by bad things happening to animals. My neighbour covers her face up whenever there’s a story about animal cruelty on TV. She shudders and gets very upset.
