Animal Cruelty in Iraq

So, Browsing E-Baums at 7:30am since this forum, like most, is unoccupied this early in the morning. Not being able to sleep is such a pain in the butt sometimes. Anyways, De-Motivational posters. Not as funny this time. I search past days and find a video that is a response to a soldier throwing a dog off a cliff. Wait, what? What happened? I go back another day and find there's a video of 2 soldiers in the desert, one holding a puppy by the scruff of his neck. They're like, oh how cute blah blah blah and then he's like "Whoops!" and just chucks it off a cliff. You can hear the puppy yelping and shortly after, a thud. Okay, so, people tried to play it off that the video is edited and the dog was already dead. Okay, two soldiers in Iraq (im guessing) with what seems to be a poor-quality videophone had the time to edit this video which was only like 30 seconds long anyways? I seriously doubt that. Not only that, but the puppy is tense. He is held by the scruff and his legs are pulled up to his chest, not limp. Muscles don't tense on dead creatures. What else, people argue that dogs in those countries are infested with disease and whatnot and are a public health hazard. I don't give a crap what country you are from, puppies are puppies. If you want the entire world to loathe you and petition you to be arrested for animal cruelty, this is probably one of the most surefire ways of doing it. I don't even know what to say this infuriates me so much. This video is obviously not fake, it's too poor quality to be edited. I just really genuinely don't understand why, or how, anyone could do something so sadistic and hateful to a helpless creature like that. I would probably go on a long rant about all other kinds of animal abuse and what not, but it's way too early for me to have a large enough vocabulary to get into all that. I just had to flame somewhere about this.. this... bull crap.

i remember seeing this video a while back on CNN. i screamed OMG and then burst into tears! i recall them saying something about it being investigated etc etc. but i havent heard anything at all about what they found out..or what punishment was given to the soldier who did the heinous act. personally i would have liked to hear that he was thrown off the cliff too, but somehow i doubt that anything remotely like he deserves will actually happen. everyone i know was upset and outraged about that..i dont think i spoke to anybody, IRL or online that had heard/seen about it and was NOT upset and mad about it. much like you, i just cannot understand..shoot i cant even imagine HOW someone could not have the smallest shred of compassion for a baby..of ANY species..its a friggin baby!! ugh..im getting mad about it all over again.
