Oh, Hallelujah!

Thank you for posting this latest news, Simon. So often these horror stories get reported (and then posted here on PF), but there's never any conclusion. Or at least not a good one. It's so refreshing to read of an animal who finally got some justice in court!

Now if someone could only explain it all to the cat...

"Bale, who appeared close to tears, was ordered to pay a fine of £250 plus a £15 victim surcharge and costs of £1,171. She was banned from keeping or owning animals for the next five years."

"The maximum penalty under the Animal Welfare Act is a £20,000 fine and/or six months in prison."

roughly RM 100,000!
