FTA...The puppies, pictured here with Ruza Pavlovic, who lives in Bugojno, Bosnia, are brown and black, while the ones thrown into the river appeared to be black and white.


I'm not saying the old lady didn't rescue some puppies, or at the very least, is taking care of a litter of puppies, but the ones she is holding don't look like the puppies shown being tossed into the river in the video. I'm more inclined to think that she's making the claim since she states she can't afford the 3 liters of milk the puppies consume each day. Maybe she's hoping people will come forward to help her out.

Earlier this week they didn't know who the girl was, bet she was doing what her old man told her to do, "get rid of those damn dogs, we live in a third world sh*t hole and can't afford them." And what ever happened to the soldier in the clip where he threw the puppy over the cliff, I remember the outrage over that too.

Oznog: So, apparently, there was more than one litter of puppies chucked into that river on that particular day?

Is this like a... regular daily occurrence then?

I guess this is the unofficial Puppychuck River or something?

Puppychuck river, sounds like a new england name for a river, in particular Rhode Island.

What was Dick Cheney doing in Bosnia?

As recent as 50 years ago, it was completely commonplace for farmers and other rural people to drown litters of unwanted kittens and puppies.

So, in a place like Bosnia, I imagine it's not unlikely that the old woman could have fished a bunch of puppies out of the river, though it's really unlikely they're the same ones in the video.


I think everyone knows it happens.

We might not like the idea of it happening, but it does.

What outraged everyone on this video was the girl was enjoying herself doing it. She was having fun and not only that she wanted others to see her having fun doing it.

Actually, the video of the soldier pisses me off a whole lot more than this does.

pissed me off too, macho man wasn't he?

FTA: Such was the international fury it prompted Transformers movie director Michael Bay to offer a $50,000 (£32,500) reward for the prosecution of the young woman.


And if anyone's an expert on films that spark disgust, outrage and scorn among viewers ...

Coco LaFemme: Every time I read a story or something here on Fark about this incident, I go hug my dog and give him an extra biscuit. At this rate, I'm going to have the fattest basset hound in North Carolina.

being from NC, I'll look for the fattest basset hound around Concord

Save two for matching clogs.

Lars The Canadian Viking: Drowning small animals in a very common, accepted way of killing them.

But usually they are held underwater, not left to struggle and suffer.

Leskay: re: the famous DINGO EATS BABY incident in Australia

~25 years afterwards, some old coot claimed to have shot the dingo while hunting illegally, totally not realising it had a baby in its mouth. Him and his hunting buddies STFU and buried the body right there and then.

Huge news. MASSIVE NEWS. And his story seemed entirely plausible for a while. I forget exactly how his story began to unravel.

Then not long after he claimed to have solved one of Australia's most infamous armed robberies. Senile old bugger! Ya had us going.

Do you remember Erin Horsburgh? Five years ago she showed up at an Alice Springs police station claiming to be Azaria Chamberlain. link

gwendolyyyn: Part of me deeply wants to believe this woman rescued the very same puppies though.

I'm with you. They don't look like the same pups, but I will convince myself that this is a true story in an attempt to remove the haunting five seconds of that video I could stand to watch from my mind.

dbrunker: Can't say if it's real or not but cnet reported on it.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-20015305-71.html

Can't be real. Even if that was the person, he outward joy at throwing them belies the explanation. She just loved killing those puppies, and to video tape it... she is one cold biatch.
