A BRITISH woman who was filmed dropping a cat in a garbage can was offered police protection after she was identified by an animal protection authority.

According to British Sky News, the RSPCA said today that the woman was being offered police protection because of the "backlash against her." The RSPCA refused to name the woman.
The bespectacled, grey-haired woman, who appears to be in her 50s, was filmed on Saturday walking along Stephanie and Darryl Mann’s street in Coventry.
In the recording, the woman spots the Manns' four-year-old cat Lola and strokes her tenderly before suddenly grabbing her by the scruff of the neck and calmly dumping her in a trash can. She then closes the lid and walks away.
The couple found Lola some 15 hours later when they heard the cat meowing in the bin.
The cat has since recovered from the ordeal.
The couple's home security system captured the footage of the animal cruelty, and they posted it online in the hope that someone would recognize the woman.
