Girl throws puppies in river.

[Chesterfield Snapdragon McFisticuffs]

Jeez, if those were cats 4Chan would be wrecking her life about now.

Actually, that's been on 4chan all day, I think they're currently trying to track her down.

Never said I didn't care. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of whining about this whilst simultaneously turning a blind eye to worse things.

That's what I don't get, where on Escapist do you see people turning a blind eye to worse things?

It's not just the escapist. When is the last time you saw a story about someone being killed, and it genuinely shocked you? Or when is the last time you actually thought about how much people suffer in third world countries. Or war torn countries. I don't get becoming desensitised to human suffering but still crying about a bunch of puppies drowning.

Don't get me wrong. I'm no bleeding heart. The world is a fucked up place. I just accept this and get on with my daily life. But this should apply to everything. Not just humans. Just because it's cute and whelps as it's being thrown. It shouldn't really spark any more sympathy in use than that advert of whatever his name is dying of diarrhoea in Africa.

Do you not see the hypocrisy?

By nature all beings are hypocritical in some way or another, as such that observation is pointless.

I'm a bit surprised this found it's way here. Saw the video though, the little lady just pitches those pups like it's nothing. You want the real challenge though? Google Zoltan Toepler. The man does it for a film, and he's given awards for it. I've seen it, and it's pretty rough stuff since the little guy fights the whole time, and you get to see into it's eyes as it slips away.

Our species.

As tempting as that sounds, I'm going to pass on that one.

Who gives this guy awards, serial killers?

From an article:
"A Hungarian man, Zoltan Toepler, filmed a so called artistic video entitled "Álszent" (Hypocrite), the majority of which was footage of a kitten being held, struggling, underwater until it drowned after two minutes. He submitted his art film and won an award."

Spoiler: From what I recall... (don't worry, no images)

The drowning, which I had seen a couple of years ago, was an up-close shot of the kitten held firmly underwater. The thing was so young that it could barely struggle for it's life. You think a cat would scratch and flail, but this thing was pretty tiny, clearly weak, and completely helpless. I felt bad, and I'm more of a dog person than a cat person. It's about on par with Zippo (FFS DON'T!!!), but only because it's so agonizingly long, and you see the face of the animal as the light of life just fades from it's eyes.

By the way, 4chan, if you are listening, I am currently turning a blind eye. Do whatever the fuck you want. You wont here any bitching from me.

 

[Arisato-kun]

This ***** is abhorrent of course. I'd annihilate her myself if given the opportunity. One deranged human is worth less than a plant, let alone a barrel of puppies.

Nothing I can do about it but luckily 4Chan has all her info down to her phone number. One poster even asked if she'd post her suicide tape on their website.

Oh 4Chan, the things you do.

 

[gkid87]

wow people want her dead because of some dead puppies how about getting over it its not the worst thing to ever happened.

 

[Thaius]

...

Someone hurt her. Seriously, that is not okay. Not okay at all.

Was anyone here raised in a rural environment? I was raised herding sheep, growing alfalfa and working on a neighbors dairy. To most people in rural areas animals are more of a tool then a pet (cats are kept on the farm to eat mice, dogs herd sheep and fight coyote). They are not family members in the least so killing one is the same as slaughtering one of your pigs or cows. One dog killed a chicken in my neighbors coop, he was shot upon discovery. A doberman pinscher that was on the farm for years pinned me down and bit me on the shoulder while I was playing on the haypile, my grandma shot him herself. My point is, this view is also held by people that live in cities and all kinds of places. Hell, in some areas your favorite pet would be sold by the pound with two veg!

If puppies are born and they are mixed breed (ie - won't be naturally good herding or working dogs) they are a burden, not a blessing. They keep your good ***** from working and they will only cost more money then they make you. Farm life is not easy, every penny really does count.

A common way to get rid of unwanted/useless puppies? Bag with rocks into the river. Remember, they are not people. Hell, if you think they are just assume the suffering is over and they won't have to starve later on or get beat the shit out of every day by uncaring owners.

I have a dog and two cats now (I live in the city at last) and I do care about them, but I would drown them all twice to save even one random human without thinking twice. Honestly, if you would prioritize an animal over a person you are at least as psychotic as the girl in the video.

I too spent most of my life in a rural environment, and I would humbly request that you don't tar me with the same brush. Honestly, I can't even begin to fathom how you could make the leap from treating livestock as a resource to throwing puppies into a river with a clear sense of glee. Comparing it to putting a dangerous, fully-grown dog down (with a gunshot, no less, which is fairly quick unless you're a bad shot) is just plain outrageous.

I would prioritize an animal over the kind of person who kills animals for no reason or stupid reasons. actually, that's too generous, I'd prioritize a plant over people who kill animals for no reason or stupid reasons.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

People are wishing for this person to die and be raped. How is that justice? stop being so childish.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I would like to snap both her legs and toss her into the river, see how she enjoys it since she would be about as helpless as those puppies. That being said, somehow I see this as a sick joke and those were not actual puppies. If not... I hope she is located and 4chan or something ruins her life.

 

[coldfrog]

Am I the only one who thinks this could possibly be fake? I mean, without seeing the original posting it'd be hard to say - it was clearly filmed, but by who and why? where did it come from? did anyone try doing any film analysis on it? With the exception of the last puppy, the hand goes out of screen every time - the fps are low, the video is full of artifacts, the camera is moving a lot (and the camera-person doesn't say a word, which to me is curious if he/she is filming this - it's a strange sort of apathy, but nevertheless)... Now, of course I'm not saying that someone would never be this sick, but I like to have faith in people before I condemn them (one of my faults it seems). I'd be curious to know if anyone has any info on this. Here's hoping to hear that it's a fake some day soon.

 

[lovemyredguitar]

Ok the fact is most people dont flip out to humans dying because most humans can defend themselves. Puppies cant. If a disabled person in a wheelchair was getting beat up everyone would flip out too.

 

[xmbts]

I feel like I'm gonna puke after that. No amount of threat making will make that horrible feeling go away or even boil down into anger. It's just completely nauseating.

Do you not see the hypocrisy?

Actually, call me a pussy but I have a real issue with still being shocked by news of cruelty. Fuck, I get shocked by certain violent movies and TV series like CSI (not in general, but few episodes), when the realisation strikes me that in a world this big and violent, the same shit, if not worse, has probably happened somewhere. I start thinking about how/why the murderer or the victim would think/feel and it's a proper mindfuck experience.

I've recently heard about a gang of kids chasing down and stabbing a boy to death in the middle of the fucking day in London. I've spent 3 days constantly thinking about it, feeling at moments what it would be like to be a kid running for his life with no one giving a shit to help.

I've also heard the news of another gang of kids force feeding another kid gasolene and lighting him on fire. It still makes me literally sick to even have the thought pass through my head.

It also greatly bothers me that certain people get obscene, unnecessary (literally so, not excessive, unnecessary) amounts of money while there are people and countries that could use those funds much more. I've given it a decent amount of thought and even posted it somewhere around here on the Escapist in one of the threads.

I can give you more examples if you're really inclined. I'm not desensitized, at least not yet, so yes, this shit bothers me to a point (which is not to say I'm obsessed by it or can't think about anything else, just that focusing on that thought/news bothers me). I can still spare a few minutes of my time to be disgusted by a ***** who enjoys hurling puppies into a river and be further disgusted and disappointed we speak the same language. But that's just me.

 

[Infernai]

....My actual feelings are a bit difficult to put into words about this, However i do have a very good idea as to what I'd like to see done to this *****:

 

[Nonamia]

You know what pisses me off though. Peoples overreactions.

Yes this is horrible and the woman is clearly disturbed. But I hate how people on the internet (and the escapist especially) treat animals as if they're worth more than humans.

You lot see a video like this and start acting as if this is the worst crime imaginable. Hundreds of people murder other humans everyday. But one mentally deficient individual throws a load of puppies in a river and it's 'Hunt the ***** down and burn her!'

Overreactions!!! You think it's overreacting to want justice for a girl that is throwing a live being in the river to drown. Animals feel, they are not just bags of bones, dogs especially, see for the blind, hear for the deaf, sniff out bombs so human beings don't get hurt, they do search and rescue, and just having them around makes a lot of people happier. People who have pets live longer then people without pets.

If a human being throws another human being in the water the book is thrown at them. Murder of an innocent human beings means life in prison or death. Death of an animal means very little time if any and maybe a fine. So your little spiel about people not caring about the death of a person is ridiculous. Someone has to look out for the helpless, animals lovers are sick of people just getting a slap on the wrist. Every single day all over the world animal are being abused, all day everyday and it's virtually ignored. People are getting sick of it and we want to see people getting prosecuted for these crimes.

Trust me people don't give animals a thought unless there is a video in front of them. I work in an animal shelter.We kill millions of them everyday in the US because of unwanted animals. Many many of them are abused,we see burns from fire, acid burns, mutilation, too many ways to abuse animals. People don't care so your wrong. They only see what is in front of their face.

And honestly I think the reason why people like you bring up the argument about human beings and continually arguing like you care about people and making sure the people that care about the animals have something wrong with them is because it's your round about way of saying you don't care that this girl drowned those puppies, so look inside and figure out why your capable of being so cold. People are capable of being horrified by this and also by human suffering the two are not mutually exclusive. I know they are for you because you have that problem, but the rest of us can feel for both humans and animals.
