I think it was totally sick who would do that..

 

That's hilarious, it's not like it suffered or anything so who cares. It's probably fake to.

 

Ahahahahahahahaha!

Probably not real.

 

Its a dog, who cares?
Its no worse than all the casual slaughters.

 

It's real, and very cruel, I heard about this today in journalism.

 

It's a damn dog though and it died quickly so why would you even care. Innocent people get killed all the time in Iraq but no one gives a shit, and you whine over a puppy.

 

MONROE, Wash. -- The controversial Internet video that purports to show a Marine throwing a puppy off a rocky cliff has triggered threats against a local family related to the soldier shown in the video.

The U.S. Marine Corps has identified the man who appears to throw the dog as a 22-year-old lance corporal. KOMO 4 News has learned the Marine's family lives in Monroe, though his name has not been released by military officials.

The Marine belongs to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment based in Hawaii -- a unit that has returned from a tour in Iraq. Military officials said the video was apparently taped in the town of Haditha, Iraq. Military officials say the Marine has been pulled from training for the duration of the investigation.

"This is a shocking and deplorable video that contrary to the highest standards we set for every Marine," said Christopher Perrine with the U.S. Marine Corps. "We will investigate this and take appropriate action."

Military officials have not confirmed the authenticity of the tape, nor have they addressed the speculation that the puppy may have already been dead when the video was shot. The speculations stem from the grainy nature of the video which blurs the details, including the puppy's facial expression while being held by the scruff of the neck.

The 15-second video, which was posted to the video sharing Web site bebo.com, triggered public outrage. Some who believed they knew the Marine posted the phone number and address of his Monroe family on the Internet, prompting harassment.

The family reportedly received threatening phone calls over the weekend, but did not report them to the police. Snohomish County sheriff's spokesperson Rebecca Hover said patrol cars have been circling the home to make sure the family is left alone. The family has disconnected the phone line, according to the Everett Herald newspaper.

The video has also made the Marine himself the target of a firestorm.

"I cannot fathom the kind of stress our men and women are going through overseas but regardless of that, these kinds of activities and these kids are just unacceptable," said Kawehi Yim with the Hawaiian Humane Society.

On the Internet, a number of Web sites and blogs have posted comments calling him a "puppy killer."

I never whined im just a dog lover, and dude do the people in iraq get tortued, thrown off cliffs and shit? NO, and the army people have guns for a reason. Do dogs have guns, can they protect themselves? I didn't think so.

Anyways that dog was helpless and it was real.

 

It wasn't tortured, it died a pretty damn fast death. Of course they're defenseless what do you expect, are you saying people can only kill things that can kill back or something. The video was pretty funny.

 

I lol'ed @ it

Ahaa

 

I agree, Although I wouldn't doubt it if that soldier has some type of mental instability.

 

I think you should go to therapy, I'm not saying you can't kill things that are defenseless, but why would you kill that dog, Im sure you're going to say "For fun why not?" It died pretty fast? Did you hear the freaking thing crying in the air?

 

Oh fuck off, it's never right when something/someone dies, especially when OUR ARMED FORCES supposed to be PROTECTING us doing something as stupid and cruel as this.

 

Yes it's very messed up but not everyone in the world loves flowers and skips in mellows

 

So if I killed an ant are you going to whine about it? All animals are like that, hardly having any intelligence. Although some have a lot more observable intelligence then others, it is quite obvious to say that humans are the smartest and most adaptable species. This sounds arrogant, but it is true, you are only angry about the puppy dying because you think of it as something that is cute, while they hardly serve a purpose. Think about it.

 

As i said before, I'm not angry i'm just saying a guy in the US army protecting us kills a helpless animal, that shows us the army lets whoever in because they just need people. And I think dogs do serve a purpose in life ever heard of the saying "A mans best FRIEND" they never get mad at you unless you hurt it or forget to feed it. Lets just say YOU were being thrown off a cliff, would you like it, be like im just a animal who cares? Um no i didn't think so. Saying it was just a animal is saying it wasn't fit for life. Everything has a purpose on the earth. Whether its simple bacteria or its a ape. It was made for a reason and us killing it for no reason is pretty stupid.

 

You're right in saying the US puts people in the army just because they need people, I think the war in Iraq is pointless. I also agree that killing animals for no reason is sort of pointless, but it doesn't really harm anyone. The puppy seemed dead at the start to, and as Shredder said the sound it made stayed the exact same no matter how far it was, it is real I guess but the puppy was dead I think and they just added in the sound.

 

I agree, I think they added the sound. The mouth doesn't match when the soldier said "I was being retarded". Plus, there are other dogs barking in the background. How many dogs can you find near a cliff?

 

This is pretty sad but as byte said, this world is cruel and things just die for no reason

 

Shit happens, the dog probably deserved it.
