Police have apparently managed to locate and identify a young woman featured in a graphic and disturbing video posted on YouTube and carried by numerous news outlets.

The video shows the girl throwing several puppies into a raging river and needless to say it has caused worldwide outrage and prompted animal rights groups and individuals to offer sizable awards for her identification.

Twisted Girl Throws Puppies in River

That girl who threw those puppies into a river has been identified and caught.

This video caused an outrage amongst animal lovers online (myself included).

When I was reading the thread on this the other day, some folk stated that this was common practice among farmers. Fair enough, you have a lot of animals to feed, food costs money.

That being said, I still think it was a disgusting act and the fact that they posted it on Youtube tells me that they got a kick out of drowning these puppies and seemed almost proud of what they did.

These people could have dealt with this situation a little more tactfully imo.

Excellent piece of news!

Although I can understand the need to terminate unwanted animals on farms, I can also think of many faster and more humane ways in which to carry it out than drowning them. Also, I agree that they should have been handled with more respect and that filming it and posting it on YouTube shows a callousness and perverse attitude towards carrying out a task that would upset most people and would be impossible to many.

There will be no punishment for her as the article says she is too young to be charged.
She is a juvenile so she will not be identified or charged.

From the source-------------------------------------------------------------------

On Friday police in the sleepy Bosnian town of Bugojno announced they have identified the puppy killer and her parents, but we cannot reveal her name due to legal issues. According to some unconfirmed reports, she is just 12 years old, which means that she cannot face criminal charges and she cannot be officially named as the culprit, as all criminal investigations involving juveniles are confidential. However, under Bosnian law her parents, identified only by their initials M.P. and M.P. could be faced with a fine of up to €6000. Under the current penal code, some forms of animal abuse are punishable by short prison terms, but as the girl is apparently under 14, this does not appear to be an option.

If you can't tell the difference between killing a spider and killing a dog then i sure hope you don't own any pets.
Killing a spider isn't considered animal abuse...killing a dog is.

Ask the next scared girl if it was ok that you killed that spider,then ask if its ok to kill a dog.

A pet is a pet.
It has personal attachment and relies on you for food and care.
You have a responsibility to it to care for it.
What she did was not cool...if you can't see that then I can't help you.

I enjoy eating meat too, but when I worked in a slaughterhouse to help pay for university I avoided the kill floor. I understand and accept it as a neccesary evil as a carnivore, but does that mean that the animals should be brutally killed?

There are inspectors that verify that the animals are treated as humanely as possible and that the process is as quick and painless as possible.

There is a difference here and you're missing it.

Thats ridiculous. Do they not have juvenile prison in Bosnia?

Sometimes I think people who treat animals like this get off way to lightly.
