A woman filmed dumping a cat in a wheelie bin has been fined £250 after admitting a cruelty offence.
The RSPCA charged Mary Bale after CCTV cameras showed her throwing four-year-old Lola into a bin outside her owners' home in Coventry.
Bale, 45, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a cat. A charge of not providing the cat with a suitable environment was dropped.
"The media interest in this case has resulted in you being vilified in some quarters and I have taken that into account," she said.
Coventry Magistrates Court also heard that Bale's elderly father had been gravely ill at the time.
"I accept you were in a stressful situation at the time, but that's no excuse for what you did," Judge Goulborn said.
