Screenshot of a Metro article by Richard Hartley-Parkinson, published on 11 December 2015 and updated on 13 December 2015, titled “Cat dies after being dyed by pink-obsessed owner”. The article reports CEN material about a cat said to have died after being dyed pink by its owner, with the screenshot showing Metro using the dramatic image of the pink cat and crediting the picture to CEN. The significance of this record is that the story was not some obscure item pushed only by CEN, but material that mainstream UK outlets were willing to publish as a striking, shareable animal-welfare story. It is relevant to the wider BuzzFeed/CEN narrative because stories like this were later used to question CEN’s reliability, while the broader media ecosystem had already treated the same kind of visually compelling agency material as legitimate news content when it suited their own audiences. The record helps show the selective nature of the later criticism: the issue was not simply whether such stories were published, but why CEN was singled out for condemnation over material that other publishers also used, credited and monetised.
