    As a pet lover and owner, this is difficult to watch. These marines should be court-martialed and drummed out of the military.

    It is known that people who are cruel to animals often have no difficultly being cruel to human beings as well.

    I know I don't want to be represented by this type of person around the world.

    Sorry; I really have no idea what you are asking.

    I think this was covered in my 2nd paragraph.

    You will note that I included myself in the catagory of those who seem to overlook that a dog is just a dog; and my reply was specifically to North Carolina Tentmaker's gruesome post, not the action of the Marine. I think I covered this point in my next to last statement - "Still when dispatch is needed, it must be done humanely", as the dog has no idea that it has committed some gross act that we deem repulsive."

    I really think we are on the same path, but just a little out of step with each other!:laugh:

    That is probably true.. I just wanted to make sure you weren't saying that just because it's a dog that we should overlook things like this. :thumbs:

    Most definitely not!!!

    In fact when I see ANY animal mistreated intentionally, I temporarily lose my Christian love for the offender - to put it mildly.

    I am not a dog lover, but this was a cruel thing to do. Sadaam Hussein did this to his people. Dont forget. Jeffry Dahmer started out torturing and killing animals.

    >Why does everything have to end with Bush with you?

    He is a convenient (word) target. <G> Also because so many on these lists think making war on most any non-white non-Christian being evangelistic.

    While I believe the puppy was dead from watching the video slowly...it is still a sick thing to do. To even pretend it were alive and throwing it takes a demented mind.

    I don't know, webdog. A puppy that young goes into a very relaxed state when held that way. Instinct tells them they are being carried by their mother. The sound was a little off though, for a camcorder, so maybe it was fake. Snopes says it is unverified as of yet, although they did find an officer by that name in Hawaii.

    love,

    Sopranette

    For all intents and purposes, I want to believe it was dead :tear:

    Also, did you notice the whimpering as the dog sails through the air does not change volume?

    How is it that you can hear the dog squealing as he is thrown off the cliff if he is already dead?

    The article stated that they didn't know if the sound had been edited in after the puppy was thrown over the cliff.

    Either way, it's bad... just bad.
