This is getting bigger and bigger. PETA apparently already was offering a $2,000 reward for the capture of the girl…well, apparently [Micheal Bay](http://www.ecorazzi.com/2010/09/01/michael-bay-offers-50k-reward-for-capture-of-puppy-throwing-girl/) (director of movies like Armageddon and Transformers) is offering a $50,000 reward. Not sure how believable the site is, though. Actually, I’m finding it all over Google news too, so I’m thinking it’s probably real. ---

They appeared to be extracting a lot more pleasure from doing that than the girl was from drowning the puppies. So where is your compassion? Have you not seen babe?!

Sigh? What fucking outrage? Where did I mention evil? Never even mind EVIL!!! Why arent I talking about the guys in the helicopter? Because they are grown men, and I have no illusions about the violence inherent in mankind. My point has always and only been a measure of pity for the lack of innocence in what has been reported to be a 12 year old girl. You once again sperge about why I dont cry about chickens getting bumfucked or pigs getting iced. Look chimpo, I am not even crying about the fucking doggies, never mind battery hens. Puppies died. I am not Guin, no crocodile tears from me. I just feel sorry for what I perceive to be a callous young girl. Fuck you. Stick your condescension up your ass. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > I would say animal cruelty goes beyond “inappropriate”. > Once again, it’s not so much about the puppies (although that certainly makes ME sick!), but the fact that killing animals in such a manner seems to entertain her. THAT is not normal. Oh get off your high horse, Princess! ---

Flinging an animal into deep water isn’t ‘cruelty’. I did it to all three of my dogs on Tuesday. If the animal can’t swim like these puppies, it’s certainly a death sentence. But there’s no deliberate infliction of pain when you throw an animal into water. As you can see from this thread, people’s attitudes of what is ‘normal’ or what ‘torture’ is, vary hugely… ---

But there’s no deliberate infliction of pain when you throw an animal into water. Good point. Is chaining slaves together and throwing them overboard really that different from taking your kids to an afternoon at the pool? Either way, you’re introducing human beings to water. ---

I’m not seeing the “loss of innocence” here. This girl is 16+. She’s supposedly 19 which is about the age of the guys in the helicopter sniping wild pigs. A cold-hearted teen girl? Hol-ee-shit. ---

I’ve witnessed similar. When I was 14(?), dad and I were walking our dog in the woods and saw a pickup truck pull off as we were approaching. We stopped and looked down in the creek, and a puppy (presumably the runt) had a crushed skull but was still alive (barely). We dispatched it humanely with a 9mm and spent a few hours trying to find the motherfuckers without success (weren’t going to shoot them, just to clarify - but an asskicking wasn’t out of the question). ---
