6 puppies thrown into a river = outrage across the whole internet.
Boy are our priorities screwed up =)
75-year-old pensioner was their fight for life The girl threw six puppies in the river and published an anonymous video on Youtube. It created the lynch atmosphere in the Internet. But now comes the good news: the puppies are mirakelräddats of a pensioner. People around the world were outraged and demanded that the girl who threw six puppies in a river with strong currents will be found and punished. In the video, which appeared on YouTube and spread like a wildfire on the internet, you can see how she lifts up one after the other from a bucket. Anger over the world The defenseless puppy dog whimpers as she throws them into the icy water. The video quickly became a världsnyhetet. The act drew attention including CNN, CBS News, FOX 5 News, and Telegraph newspapers, the New Yprk Post, Daily Mail, The Sun, Metro, Mirror, Sun Totonto, Pravda, the news agencies AFP and AP. Readers and viewers plummeted. Celebrity declared a reward Tens of thousands of disgusted people, including Facebook, demanding that she be identified and punished. Hollywood director Michael Bay announced a reward of $ 50 000 to anyone who could help with information that could lead to the girl arrested. Hundreds of death threats against her have been published on the Internet. The incident became a noted news in the world press. Shortly after the teenage girl identified by the Bosnian police and her father was called in for questioning. Rescued - Last Time The girl is from a town in central Bosnia and now in danger of up to 45 000 crowns in fines. Her mother says the Croatian newspaper that the girl feel so bad of all that she seek psychiatric care received. But today the story had a happy excuse: The puppies were rescued miracle - the last moment. A 75-year-old pensioner, Ruza Pavlovic from Bugojno, were on their way to their potato fields when she heard strange sounds from the River. - In a stream, I saw black puppies who tried to swim out of the water, "she told the newspaper Vecernji List. Flowed into a creek The puppies were lucky - just below the point where they were thrown in the river forks and go out in a small stream. The current pulled the dogs to where the water is not deep enough. Ruza Pavlovic raised five puppies and brought them home - not knowing what caused the commotion around them. The sixth puppy was not in the stream. - They are healthy and happy. My problem is that they need at least three liters of milk a day and I live only on my small pension, but I have not the heart to abandon them, "said Ruza Pavlovic to Vecernji List. Mira Micic

At the risk of being vilified on this post, I'd just like to point out that 20 or 30 years ago, throwing unwanted puppies in the river/sea was quite normal. (normal as in common not as in right). Growing up in Scotland, I can remember people talking about dogs having pups that were not planned, so the owner would dump them in the sea. I'm sure everyone thought it was sad, but they all accepted that it was the best way to deal with unwanted pups. (in this day and age we have better ways to deal with this - such as desexing etc)
I'm not saying that I agree with what happened, but its a good example of how what's right and wrong in society can change in a relatively short period of time.

Sometimes it seems people forget that we're safely and securely atop the food chain. Frankly, we can do anything we want to other animals. If they have a problem with it, well.... EVOLVE!
This wasn't even cruel. I'm sure that as children many of you executed and/or tortured other creatures in far more painful and extended ways than this. In fact, your pet dogs (and especially cats) prey upon members of lesser species than their own any chance they get, and are certainly not "humane".
It's a cruel world, deal with it. Crying about a handful of dead puppies won't change anything.

I haven't read every response on this since it is 4 pages of outraged people, none of whom have lived on a farm or a ranch. It is common practice to drown puppies and kittens in rural areas because the populations can quickly get out of control. Do the math, you have a dog that has a litter of six puppies, 3 of which are female. Each of these will have 6 puppies a year for 10 years. Cats, even more. How long before your farm or ranch is over run by dogs and cats, and how long before they are sick and infecting the other animals that you are raising.
Please don't kill the messenger, as I personally have never done this, but as a teen I worked at a horse ranch that was surrounded by medium sized farms near where microsoft is now, and drowning puppies and kittens was a normal occurance for all of the reasons I have listed above.
Now get off your high horses, because if any of you lived on a farm you would have done this too.

This story is something new which attracts people to it... you can search the internet for tons of stuff about the war/wars....
