Marines are investigating puppy tosser
Note: This is not a funny post… not in the least.
Marine Corps Base Hawaii is investigating a shocking video of a smiling Marine throwing a puppy off the top of a steep hillside in Iraq into a gully below.
The video yesterday gained widespread attention and condemnation on the Internet.
“The video is shocking and deplorable and is contrary to the high standards we expect of every Marine,” the Kane’ohe Bay base said in a release.
Base officials said the video came to their attention Monday morning. An investigation has been initiated. Maj. Chris Perrine, a Marine spokesman here, said “it’s looking like” the Marine is based out of Hawaii.
“We do not tolerate this type of behavior and will take appropriate action,” the base said.
Two Marines are seen in combat gear smiling as one holds a white-and-black puppy by the scruff of its neck. The dog seems to be about 8 weeks old and is motionless as it is held.
Here is the video. WARNING! It is disturbing. I wouldn’t want to be this Marine when the public gets hold of him. Someone should throw his ass off a cliff. No word on whether the dog was injured.
