Puppy-tossing Marine

Let me just preface this by saying that, clearly, I love animals. I can't remember a day in my life that I didn't have a pet of some sort. I got a job before I even turned 16 because I wanted to work at Petsmart so badly, I have in my apartment what can only be called a small zoo, and I've been a vet tech for 2 years. I study marine biology and I want to be a vet for God's sack (Laura, that was intentional)

People need to shut the hell up about the marine and the puppy throwing video. This country is jam packed with retards. Listen up folks, I am in no way defending the guy. I think he is an idiot and an asshole. Whether the dog was alive or dead, the video was done in extremely poor taste and it's disgusting that people can walk around with absolutely no morals. However.

I cannot believe the response and the outrage this movie has facilitated. People are screaming for this guy's blood. They are harrassing his family. They are freaking out times 6,000,000. Time to CHILL OUT and OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES. All of you animal rights people having coronaries about this video, why don't you visit your local kill shelter and have a fucking coronary over there? Humane euthanization, my ass. They put 50 dogs in a tiny room together and GAS THEM TO DEATH. Lethal injections HURT without sedation. These dogs struggle, cry, try to escape. This happens every day, thousands and thousands of times over because so-called animal lovers like these people BITCHING about this video decide it would be fun to breed their dogs, or maybe they get sick of a puppy that's too rambunctious, because for whatever dumbass reason they can't keep their pet, or they don't have the money, blah blah blah. I don't understand how one puppy gets this much attention when shit like this happens every single goddamn day.

What I really, really don't understand is how people can have this much of a tizzy about a marine throwing a puppy when PEOPLE are being tortured overseas. Girls are getting raped. People are getting tortured. Guys are coming back from Iraq fucked up to the point that their families don't even know them anymore, and then they end up becoming murderers like that guy who killed the girl at Auburn. And we're getting this worked up about a PUPPY?!?! Give me a fucking break!!!!!! This guy was a sick son of a bitch for first of all, tossing the puppy off a cliff (assuming it was a live puppy) and secondly, for being enough of a dumbass idiot for making a movie out of it, but honestly. How often do you think things like this happen over there? They happen all the time. We just don't hear about it. How often do you think these tired, stressed out, frustrated, overworked soldiers kill animals? All the time. How often do you think soldiers find starving, sick, dying puppies on patrol and put them out of their misery? All the time. But how often do you think soldiers find dogs and puppies tat may have a chance of survival and save them? ALL THE TIME.

Time for people to get some perspective, take the blinders off for Christ's sake. If you really love animals, take action. Volunteer, adopt, or shut the fuck up.

Sorry, had to let that one out. Haha.

I don't know what video you are talking about, because if the dumb-ass news reader says "Coming up, video of a man throwing a puppy off a cliff.", I change the channel. I agree, people are stupid. The news should show every death in Iraq. They should show girls being circumcised in Africa. there are plenty of horrors to go around.

On the subject of pets. It seems I have inherited another cat. The little boy next door got a kitten a few years ago. It was cute. The boy is now about fifteen years old and doesn't seem to care about the kitten, who is now a cat. Tigger the cat now shows up on my door step every day dirty, hungry, and neglected.

Do you realize that I have been checking this site for six months. I understand that a college student has many obligations, like drinking and partying, but really, can't you at least publish a photo of your apartment, dog, cat, boyfriend, school?
