Puppy Throwing Girl Inspires Outrage

C.J. — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:38 +0000

This story isn’t suitable for work, or breakfast, or anyone in general but it happened.

A girl video taped herself throwing a litter of puppies into a river.

WARNING: IF YOU ARE EASILY UPSET OR CAN’T WATCH GRAPHIC ANIMAL ABUSE DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO. I’M FRIGGIN’ SERIOUS, IT’S HORRIBLE AND I MEAN HORRIBLE.

This is a fu*king outrage and if you have a heart at all it’s almost impossible to watch as the whimpering puppies wiggle and squeak just before being over-hand tossed into a flowing river to their deaths.

Some high tech internet hackers immediately got on the case. Tracking this girl and her video taping friend down via Facebook and Youtube so that they could give the world her, home address, and phone number and any other information they might be able to come up with.

Police are also investigating and there’s a $2000 reward being offered via PETA. (And I don’t mean to be negative at a time like this but really PETA? One of the worst cases of animal cruelty I’ve ever seen and all you can come up with is $2k? With all your famous members? Seems a little light in my opinion.)

So, like I said the group of elite hackers known as 4chan immediately got on the case…

“We can determine from the picture so few things. One, based on assumption, she probably has a facebook account, no matter what country they’re in. Two, she is 5ft 6in-5ft 8in, blond, eye color unknown, Caucasian. She has something written upside-down on her red sweater, barely legible, might be of assistance if it’s the product of a local store. Let’s work together on exposing this sicko! Use the comments.”

It didn’t take long for 4chan to find the girl’s name and information and give it out to everyone on the internet…

Name: Katja Puschnik Age: 19 Adress: M?nchener Stra?e.16b, 85653 Aying, Germany Email adress: katja.puschnik@web.de Telephone number (parents): +49 8095 1782

Soon fafter Katja released a video apologizing but the video has since been removed from YouTube.

MARVIN Has the Sweetest Loving Heart and Needs a Good Home – a True Best Friend!

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:37:54 +0000

Marvin is an 11 month old staffordshire/hound mix. He is one of the sweetest most loving boys we have met. Sadly he was overlooked at an over crowded high kill shelter. It was his final hours and we could not let him perish. He weighs 50 pounds and is a beautiful golden color. Marvin loves all dogs big and small and is most likely fine with cats with the proper introduction. Marvin knows his sit and walks well on a leash. Marvin is the type of dog that will truly blossom in a home and become the best friend of a lifetime. He has a huge soul and is so sweet and loving and is very attuned to people and his surroundings. Marvin is a perfect companion.

Marvin is up-to-date on vaccines and micro-chipped and neutered. He is also vet checked and healthy.

If you are interested in adopting Marvin and have additional questions – please email StephanieL@animaladvocatesalliance.org. You will also need to complete and submit the following online adoption application: ONLINE APPLICATION

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 05:29:04 +0000

A 1 year-old Labrador retriever named Ellie has been crowned the winner of VPI Pet Insurance’s Hambone Award for oddest insurance claim. After all, she did eat an entire beehive — a fact her owners only discovered when she began vomiting bees by the hundreds. Ellie beat out 11 other animal accident victims — all of whom survived their ordeals — including a border collie who chased a mailman right through a closed window and a standard poodle who ate two plastic baby bottles and a (used) diaper.

A scarred but friendly pit bull named Louis Vuitton was the star witness Tuesday as an Alabama state board denied parole for the man convicted of spraying him with lighter fluid, setting him on fire and beating him with a shovel. After the 8-year-old dog was led into the packed hearing room, the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles voted 3 to 0 to deny early release to 23-year-old Juan Daniels of Montgomery, who was sentenced in 2009 to nine years and six months in prison, a record in Alabama in an animal cruelty case.

(you may purchase an LA County Volunteer t-shirt for $10 at the shelter following completion of orientation).

Turn Left on Elton. Elton is a very small street (almost an alley), so it is easy to miss the street sign. Keep your eyes peeled!
* Wear comfortable shoes and clothing, and be aware that your clothes and shoes WILL get dirty!
* Try to eat breakfast, and bring along an energy bar or snack and some water for lunch, as we normally do not have time to take an extended lunch break
