Odd how many of you started watching only to quit 10 seconds in. Did you think if YOU watched it the video would magically change to her lovingly petting the dogs? Why even start?
I'm confident in 4chan's ability to find and subsequently destroy her, so I'll sit back and watch this one develop instead of ranting in disgust.
So because there's young children dieing from lack of clean drinking water around the world we shouldn't care when crap like this happens to animals? Just because you don't see threads everyday on here talking about those children doesn't mean we don't feel any less sympathy for them.
Personally, I think the unnecessary deaths from preventable disease, famine and clean drinking water should be the head story of every news channel each and every day. Every single day 25,000 children under the age of 5 die from diseases like diarrhea from bad drinking water. I do think our priorities are screwed up. The cat lady sparks world-wide outrage, but 25,000 kids each and every day passes without a second thought. We should be outraged, but for some reason most are not. I hear a lot of "that's just the way it is". But if there was as much attention and ire given to third world poverty as there is to these animal cruelty cases, maybe that wouldn't be the way it is.
Obviously I don't scoff at animal cruelty. It needs to be dealt with. I'm just irked that there isn't the same kind of vitriol saved for the powers that be that refuse to act on the issue you mentioned. On a personal level, I have two foster children via Plan Canada and give to the makepovertyhistory.ca which is partnered with Oxfam and other anti-poverty organizations. But there is only so much you can do on as an individual.

I absolutely agree...
Environmentalist experiments have killed millions in Africa. LINK
I wish I had a shilling for every time someone told me spraying homes with DDT to prevent malaria is like using Africans in evil experiments. I would be a rich woman.
That claim is a blatant falsehood. Even worse, it hides the many ways poor Africans really are being used in environmental experiments that cause increased poverty, disease and death.
They are playing with our lives. So are the government agencies, health NGOs and others who support their policies. This is wrong and immoral. And it is only one of the ways they use Africans as experimental laboratory animals. They are also denying us access to other modern technologies that can improve and save lives.
600 million people in sub-Sahara Africa live on two million shillings ($900 USD) or less per year. Nearly 700 million never have electric power for lights, refrigeration, schools, shops and clinics – or have it only a few hours per week. Millions die from diseases that would be prevented, if they did not have to burn wood and dung, and had safe water, better healthcare and higher living standards that reliable, affordable electrical power would bring.
I dunno I guess the video is pretty sickening, but there are way worse videos on the interwebs than a girl hurling puppies into a river IMO. At least she didn't punt them in there.
I saw the whole vid and not all that riled up afterwards. I guess I'm pretty heartless and don't really get phased by anything.
I don't understand why should would do that and how she gets enjoyment out of it. To such young pups as well. Poor things. Hopefully justice will be served. If not, karma will get her one day.
At the end of the video it doesn't sound like she is speaking English but rather it sounds like she has an Eastern European accent.... but I could be wrong.
According to a Croatian newspaper, the language is Croatian or Serbian with a Bosnian accent. Other internet source are saying the video originated from Bugojno, BiH. Someone already updated the wiki page demographics section for the town http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugojno .
I didn't even know the video had sound. I must be missing a driver or something.

BTW the kicking a kitten gif has done something to me I've never before experienced. Utter disgust and laughing my butt off.
Thank you 4chan?
I saw a video of Mexicans lighting a cat on fire before. I thought it was worse than this one. Not like both aren't well above my tolerance threshold though.
