Marine throws puppy off cliff :( :(

[lizbud]

I was thinking about how the dog was not kicking or squirming-have you ever tried to pick up a puppy by the scruff of the neck?
Most animals would be raising a ruckus if there were handled that way-If the dog did yelp after this AH tossed him, why wasn’t the dog making any noise before?

If you pick up a pup by the scruff properly, it will not squirm around, but
stay motionless until placed down on the ground again. It's simulates
the way the mother dogs pick up & move their pups.

Have you ever seen SNL's version of Nancy Grace? Amy Poehler does
her really well. I can't stand her shows.

I was going to post the same thing.

I, too, was going to post the same thing. It's the same way with cats. Obviously my dogs are too big to pick up by their scruff, but my kitty isn't, and when I do he freezes and almost goes completely limp.

It must be a woman thing.

Matter of fact that is the way my old GF got what she wanted from me.

I was going to post the same, as well. All of my non-dog friends are coming to me and asking me if I think it's real with the "why isn't it moving" question.

This was posted on one of the best message boards I'm on....

Crossposting comments below from David Motari 'US Soldier Puppy Killer' MySpace page:

"The Sergeant Major called me in today and it looks like they found out about the dog thing. I don't know who it was who put it on %#&!*% youtube, but man they are not happy... They were even talking about court martialing me, but they better not. It wouldn't be fair because they didn't court martial the last guy they caught %#&!*% with a dog.

%#&!*%, atleast i was humane about it. That guy from motor transport shot a dog in the stomach in front of the Major and everyone thought it was funny. I %#&!*% up and it gets on TV and all of a sudden it's wrong. This is some BS. POS media, always sticking its nose where it doesn't belong.

want to say first of all that I am really sorry for the whole puppy thing. I don't know why people are so pissed. It was a %#&!*% STRAY!!! Get the %#&!*% over it! You know how many people I see get blown away on a regular basis?!?! %#&!*% Man Not only the towle heads out here but my own friends!" Sorry you guys saw that, but it wasn't supposed to ever been shown. Usually what happens is we shoot them. I was being "creative" that day and decided to throw the dog instead. If i could take it back, I would. Either way, I did the dog a favor. Sorry if you can't understand that."

Please tell me that what he posted was a joke!

His mentallity of the situation is very disturbing. I think he is sorry....sorry the video was posted on youtube and sorry he got caught.

I'm sure he wasn't the first soldier to abuse an animal in Iraq. But I demand that he be the last! My tax dollars are NOT going towards soldiers abusing animals! I do not want these abusive soldiers coming home and collect a pension that I PAY FOR WITH THE MONEY I WORK VERY HARD FOR!

That being said, for every one bad soldier who doesn't give a $hit about animals or life in general, there are thousands, perhaps hundred of thousands who would do all that they could to save an animal. Those are the ones who are my heros and I would be happy to support them for protecting my country.
