what do you have to be thinking to do something like this?

When i went up in class to talk about my blog today the class told me about a new story they had heard about a marine throwing a little puppy off a rocky cliff, so of course im going to write a blog about it! I just read the article on the fox news website about the incident. My father was a marine and he is the greatest man i know and it kills me to think that marines like the one featured in the youtube video give all other marines a bad name. If you have not seen the video basically a marine picks up a black and white little puppy and says "oh, i tripped" and throws it off a rocky cliff and you can hear the dog yelping. This video was taken off of youtube because so many people were outraged. The authenticity of the video has not been verified, but it has been viewed 145,000 times. I pray to god this video is not real because i hate to think thats theres heartless people like that in this world.

the website i used was: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,334709,00.html

films with animal abuse..do they really hurt the animals?

Cruelty to animals is a very real thing in films. People seem to think in the movies when animals are killed its not real. Well, sometimes is not, but there are noted cases in which it is extremely real. In the south korean film "The Isle" a real frog was skinned alive while fishes were mutilated. This was all for people to watch and enjoy...they actually killed a living animal with a face and a heartbeat for a movie... Another case is the italian film "Cannibal Holocaust. In the movie it showed graphic beheading and ripping apart of a turtle and also had a monkey being beheaded then its brains were being consumed by natives. A spider also got chopped apart. This movie was a prime example of unstaged animal cruelty. Youtube also has examples of real animal abuse. Yes, beloved youtube has hosted thousands of videos of real animal cruelty. Atleast some people tag as them inappropriate, but youtube usually fails to do the police actions that are necessary to get it off the internet... think about it next time your watching a movie with animals getting hurt.. staged or unstaged?
