There was definately pleasure taken in this.
Maybe.

But I'll devil's advocate here in defence of this teenager.

People who have horrible jobs to do (doctors, morgue workers, slaughterhouse employees, proctologists, etc.) adapt to the unpleasant work they have to do. If they can't do this - by dissociating themselves from the task at hand, using humour, or simply becoming numb or callous - they will lose their heads.

I'm working with the theory this girl lives on a farm, deals with unpleasant things relating to animals all the time, and was given the task of disposing of these unwanted pups. She could have done this in a number of different ways, but chose a method that is less messy than most alternatives, and that does not result in her having to deal with the bodies. She's dissociating herself from the reality of what she's doing. Her apparent enjoyment of the process is simply a method of coping.

As for the video, there's a generational gap here: kids today videotape the hell out of everything. They're digikids. It's not the olden days where one guy on the block owned a video camera the size of a VW Rabbit, and it was a big effort to tape anything. Now, anyone can do it, often with no pre-planning whatsoever. So the fact of it being videotaped may have nothing to do with premeditation, enjoyment of the experience, or glorification of the activity.

Or, alternatively, she could be a sicko.
