    Woman fined for throwing five cats over wall into Wat Pho

    Photos and CCTV footage of a woman with a ski mask and dressed in black throwing five bags – each containing a cat – over the wall and into Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram, or Wat Pho Temple, in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon district went viral on the internet, sparking heavy criticism from netizens and earning her a fine.

    The woman, who is a Samut Prakarn local, turned herself in on Monday, reportedly admitting that she was the one in the photo. She said she could no longer raise the cats due to her allergic reaction to their hair. Police charged her with abandoning pets in violation of the Cruelty Prevention and Welfare of Animal Act. The woman was allowed to go home after paying a fine. Staff at Wat Pho told the press that all five cats were fine and the temple would take care of them, including getting the felines neutered.

    They urged pet owners who cannot afford to keep their animals to pass on the unfortunate creatures to shelters and/or to adopters.

    Wouldn't it have been more environmentally practical, and lessening the mechanics, to cast all five cats in one bag.

    Wasted effort.

    Just saying.

    Wasted speculative effort.
    Assumptions are usually secured by those with vacant, make believe, or false knowledge.

    Fits like a glove, huh Har?

    That's twice now you've drivelled on about wasted effort.

    It seems you don't know the meaning of the phrase.

    Recycle?

    I think Jeff makes a very valid point:

    Or was it this one

    Yes, it was this one. Why use five bags. You'd have to have bought five items at 7/11 to get five bags, even if you'd done it in one go.

    He's spot on - wasted effort, worth a green

    That's because you're too stupid to recycle.

    Untrue, I'd never use one bag per cat.














    (And we've been recycling for a very long time)
