Puppy-Drowning Girl Gets Off Scot Free

Bosnian police have found the red-hooded girl who posted a video of herself throwing puppies into a river—and they’re not charging her with anything. According to a report in a German newspaper and translated by Gawker, police said the girl was only 12 years old, and hence “too young for punishment,” and that the puppies had been rescued anyway by an old woman.

The German wing of PETA was outraged. “This is, in our view, impossible,” a campaign manager said. “The pups of the old woman looked different than on the video. Above all, the little puppy would never be able to survive this.” (More PETA stories.)
