Woman who tossed cat in garbage bin has police protection

A U.K. woman filmed throwing a cat into a garbage bin now has police officers stationed outside her house.

Not to protect her from angry animal lovers baying for her blood on Facebook.

“There are a number of officers – PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) – outside her house. But that’s just to manage all the media who are standing there,” a Coventry Police spokesperson told the Star on Tuesday.

That problem was complicated in the early evening when she was identified by London’s Sun as Mary Bale, a 50-year-old bank worker.
