Marine Investigated for Throwing Puppy off Iraq Cliff

Two United States Marines are under investigation for allegedly throwing a puppy off of a cliff in Iraq. A video of the incident was taken and shows two smiling Marines dressed in their combat uniforms standing at the edge of a cliff before throwing a black and white dog off into the ravine.

A Marine spokesman says the video is “shocking and deplorable” it is not the “high standard we expect from every Marine.”

 

The video shows the Marines standing on a cliff and one is holding the small puppy by the scruff of his neck. “Cute little puppy, huh?” he is heard saying.

 

The other responds in a child-like voice, “Oh so cute, so cute little puppy.”

 

The Marine then throws the puppy off the cliff. The dog is heard yelping until he hits the bottom of the rocky ravine.

 

The men are believed to be based in Hawaii.
