Default US soldier throws a puppy of a cliff

hi,

i don't know if this has been discussed yet but this is something that just can't be ignored
i just saw the clip of the event and i am actually shocked about this
the two soldiers are talking about the puppy and being cute and then the next moment the soldier holding the puppy just tosses him in the cliff, followed by howling of the little puppy

i am not going to post the movie here but i want to adress the matter of what the hell is going on in the minds of those soldiers
i can't believe how someone just throws a puppy down a cliff and acts like it was nothing
seriously f*cked up

Quite old, and nothing compared to the two innocent Afghan children getting accidentally killed, and the man who was savagely decapitated on the greyhound bus by an unprovoked stranger imo.

That is one of the most RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up things I ever heard tbh. People who do that shit should be shot in the head imo.

He severed the head in the bus and showed it to a crowd of 30-40 people through the windows.

As for the puppy, that is truly RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up. More so then severing a head in my opinion, the man who did that may have had a certain amount of hate towards his own race which some may find understandable. It's rather hard however to hate a puppy, takes a bit more evil. I say this because humans kill humans on a weekly basis, the dude who severed a head on a bus would fit right in with terrorists who do it god knows how many times a week.

Killing a puppy is more evil then killing a human? The guy had a family, the dog is just a dog. Dogs can be replaced, family members cannot.

Animals are innocent and can't defend themselves. Both are horrible situations, but the reason people get so up in arms about animals dying is that the human race feels obligated to protect things that can't protect themselves.
Animals are in that category, therefore the human mind automatically springs to that being the greater evil. People do bad things to each other every day. It's become part of our lives. Killing 'domesticated' animals however is beyond our every day experience and therefore horrifies us more.

You're joking, right? An animal was thrown off a cliff, a humans head was decapitated after being stabbed 50-60 times. It takes a lot more evil to chop off a freaking head than to throw an animal. The terrorists have a reason - to make the world fear them. The man who stabbed the guy had no motivation, no reason. THAT is fked up.

A sleeping man on a bus listening to music is more defenseless than a puppy. A puppy would be able to at least attempt to bite, a sleeping man can't do shit.

I find it very sad that people find throwing a puppy off a cliff worse than a psycho cutting off a strangers head. Really makes me wonder some other things you people think.

Pretty sure fearing to go on a bus because you're scared of getting decapitated in your sleep is far more horrifying then seeing a domesticated animal killed. The former scares the shit out of me, the latter doesn't.

I never knew evil was qualitative. To me something is either evil or not. And killing in cold blood for no (good) reason is evil.

Fair point, but placing a dog over a human is just wrong.

And placing a human over a dog isn't?

Humans do not deserve the right to judge one creature over another, this is why I side with the puppy who does not have that ability. All in all its opinion however and there is no way to clearly dictate which side of the matter is right, its all part of what the individual believes. Just because I feel that humans as a race on Earth have caused more harm then good to each other and to the planet, does not mean that the innocent man should have been killed for wrongs of his kind. I do however know that the puppy is much less capable of anything a human could possibly do.

Go join Peta iif you are so concerned about it. The fact is that a human can easily affect this world more then one dog. A humans life is much more important because of that then a dog. Yes it was wrong to kill the dog BUT saying that it is just as bad for them to throw a dog off the cliff rather as killing a human is so wrong. A humans life should always be valued over that of an animal. It's like the fire department rescuing a puppy instead of a baby. There would be riots if that happened, but if they rescued a baby instead of the puppy people would be singing their praises.

Saying one type of murder is more important than another serves no constructive purpose other than to imply murder is more acceptable in some situations. The point is, it isn't, regardless of what situation it is.

Killing for sustenance is of course different, but that can be debated by some as well (just not me).

Depends on your point of view really. You're a man of the law if I remember correctly, so your views will differ from mine. I think it's perfectly acceptable for a parent to kill a pedophile for example. Others will say murder is murder no matter what the person has done.

Not murder if you don't kill a person. So therefore one cannot murder a dog.
