Cruelty in any case is generally frowned upon in the modern world. Apparently, one marine who was stationed in Iraq didn't get the message. Video appears to show Marine abusing puppy by CNN.com talks about how one marine, who has not been identified, was taped throwing a black and white puppy over the edge of a cliff.
This article matters to the world because of the image it sends. This man (we are assuming it was a man) was a U.S. marine. Not only has he made himself look like a monster, but he has given marines a bad name. U.S. marines are supposed to be men and women who we can look upon in times of danger. Marines are suppose to be portrayed as heroes, but now, many might see them only as monsters. After viewing the shocking You Tube video (which is not online anymore, so don't bother looking) it is a little hard to look at marines with respect anymore.
This article relates to me because this is in fact, a crime of animal abuse. Recently, our English class did a group project where we created Public Service Announcements. My group discussed animal abuse. Not only this, but as a young puppy, my own dog was abuse by her breeder. This marine threw a young dog off a cliff like it was a rotting banana. Unused, unloved, he sent it away, without a thought.
I have always had a respect for the brave men and women who fight to protect this country. I am proud to have so many people fighting for my freedom. However, the act this man committed is completely deplorable and brings shame to all marines.
