United States Marine throws helpless puppy off cliff

[NYCTWCjunkie]

Perhaps you guys heard about this over the last two days or so. This is something that I find BEYOND shocking
and deplorable. On local and national newscasts, mentioned was a YouTube video clip that surfaced earlier
this week (it's not there now) that showed a United States Marine at an undisclosed location throwing
a helpless puppy off a cliff. The video showed two Marines in it and both were joking about it as if it was
real funny. I find not only the dispicible act outrageous, but their attitude to be without regard to animal life
has completely inhumane beyond belief.

FOX News reports today that the Marine's family in Washington state has received death threats and
that's expected. Does his family deserve it? No.  But he deserves to be discharged from the Marine Corps
and possibly serve jail time for the possible death of this dog. There has been no confirmation of exactly
where this incident took place and the fate of the dog.

What the .

What is wrong with people these days. People seem to think that because they are connected to the government, that they can do whatever the hell they want, and that the laws don't apply to them whatsoever. They need more animal rights punishments. At least 15 years of jail time should be required. Where the hell do people get off? Sure its an ugly dog, but still, it's totally unacceptable.
