5 Mar

Seriously. Having to sit here all day and approve comments on the David Mortari post (of which there are almost 100) is making me feel physically ill. Shit like:
“I am posting this to give David Mortari That I live very close to where his Mother lives. If he lives there I will find him at some point and I will let him know what it is like to be defenseless”
“i hope this faggot gets thrown off the cliff and hear him scream for his life”
“I’d grab your testicles and castrate them right then and there. I then make a bowl of spaghetti and feed your raisin size balls to your mother because she is worthless for raising a coward with an unusually small scrotum.”
Like I said yesterday, funny that all these fucking people are coming out of the woodwork in defense of dogs, when millions of them each year are euthanized right here in our country for reason other than apathy and laziness. How about the thousands of other dogs used each year for Animal Testing for companies such as Iams? Or how about the dozens of countries who eat dogs as meat?

Or for Fur?

If you’re that pissed off about this video why don’t you do the following:

youre a goddamn idiot… and this rant of yours proves it. you trying to justify a helpless pup being thrown over a cliff just shows what you and that worthless disgrace of a soldier have in common
Good column, and don’t worry - some of us who are concerned by this (I’m terribly concerned, but was not as vitriolic in expressing it) are already vegetarian, Democrat, have a household pet who was a street foundling and give to humane organizations. I hope your column encourages everyone to do so! Best,
Trudy
The video is REAL. Straight from the idiot’s mouth. http://www.albertastars.com/userphotos/1233_3238_R.JPG
I for one….and like so many others,am working very hard on animal cruelty issues.I for one….like so many others,am appalled by the conduct of the military in Iraq and elsewhere,regarding mistreatment of civilians and the so-called enemy.We are supposed to be a civilized society.This video,if it is not a hoax,is a slap in the face to all those working hard to make things better.Also,the way Mr. Motari acted in this video is sick and evil…..down right scary.Furthermore….don’t insult my intelligence with your unqualified comments.
You’re post is like trying to defend someone who robbed a bank because corporations supposedly “rob” people as well. It’s two different issues. What people here are commenting on is not primarily the humane treatment of animals (although that is very important), but rather the ghastly ease by which he threw the puppy, and the look of boredom on his face afterward. It’s the revelation that humans can be so pointlessly evil when nobody’s watching them that’s truly sickening.
I would feel so much better knowing if the puppy was later eating and turned into slippers. Then it’s culturally OK. Can anybody help?
This guy Motari brought the backlash upon himself for taping this cowardly act. Takes a real soldier to kill a defenseless puppy doesn’t it?
I can understand what your saying Daniel, however the fact that he is a marine and misconduct unbecoming of a Marine is one of the main reasons why people are in an uproar. As well as the dog being only a puppy, this invokes the sense of it’s ‘inoccence’ and how it was defenceless. Though i support our troops, this guy’s actions are still freakin messed up to me. I only hope justice is swift and will deal with Mortari as is fit and as it’s supposed to.
I understand what you are saying about this kind of thing going on everyday. The difference is this:
The people who commit those atrocities are unnamed, faceless, and untouchable. This person has a face, name, and is supposed to be a symbol of America.
Don’t you think that it seems more satisfying to call the culprit on the phone or visit his house, rather than donate to PETA? What I’m saying is that this is one asshole, who is supposed to be representing our country, not some nation of dog eaters that we can’t really do anything about.
Besides the blatant cruelty, you also have to realize that this is proof to all the America haters in the world that we are “barbarians” or “infidels”. Just because you are a paid soldier, doesn’t mean you can act without honor. The USMC holds the value of honor very high, and this just shows people that Americans are brutal, and not human. This act is detrimental to our country as a whole…. Think about the big picture.
He needs to be made an example of for the good of our military and for the good of our country.
You need a kick straight to the nuts.
Are you weetoddid?
it’ll all be over when the whole thing is officially declared a hoax. it’s going to take a lot of hand-holding and gently guiding people through the apparently dizzying and confusing realm of rudimentary a/v editing and concept of overdubbed audio, but eventually the seething masses will calm down and go back to not caring at all about any of the issues you expertly outlined.
this whole thing is depressing.
In response to your post, I’m sure reading multiple irate emails isn’t the happiest way to spend your time. But don’t lose sight of the point of posting them: to let the media, the military and anyone who thinks this is funny and/or entertaining that this behavior indicates a serious problem and that the needless killing of anything shouldn’t be tolerated. Something needs to be done so, at the very least, the puppy didn’t die in vain.
Yes, of course other animals are killed every day all over the world, but those that are used for food aren’t killed for sport or amusement. They feed people.
The fur issue is terrible, of course. Animals are needlessly slaughtered so some millionaire has yet another way to keep warm. But Motari was the only one stupid enough to not only allow someone to tape his act, but then to post it on the Internet for the whole world to see.
Plus, there’s a gray area when it comes to what people perceive as the correct treatment of animals, because they’re “just animals.” If someone taped themselves beating a child, then posted it on YouTube, that person will no doubt be hunted down by police and arrested. The same protection isn’t always afforded to animals. So people are voicing their outrage to ensure something is done.
So keep up the posts—don’t let people forget!
The author of this piece is using classic argumentative fallacies.
Well, if you are disgusted with A… why aren’t you disgusted with B?!? And if you aren’t disgusted with B you have no right to be disgusted with A.
This is trash.
David Motari deserves every insult that is coming his way. You don’t need to be a registered member of Peta to have the right to criticize him.
Wow someone took Intro to Logic too??! I’m not arguing. I’m making a suggestion, that people might direct some of this rage in a direction that will actually do some good in a world where animals are tortured like this a thousand times a day.
The rest of the world is disgusted, but not at all surprised that a marine — or Americans for that matter, is capable of such harm and obvious stupidity.
How can we as a nation be so repulsed by this Marine’s actions when we advocate murder of countless unborn HUMANS every day? How can we be so pious when we are oblivious to the murder of HUMANS - not dogs - HUMANS! That’s one of the great problems we have now - we have our priorities screwed up when we’re more concerned over an animal than a person. Granted, this Marine’s action is despicable, but let him who is without fault cast the first stone.
boohoo, want some wine with that cheese u fucking cry baby.
whhhaaaa.. my finger hurts.
Must be a lazy ass marine fuck.
make sure to scream on the wa over that cliff so we know when you are dead, stupid fuck
boohoo, want some wine with that cheese u fucking cry baby.
whhhaaaa.. my finger hurts.
Must be a lazy ass marine fuck.
War is characterized by immoral atrocities. If this video proves fake, don’t worry. Other repugnant acts will follow. An army is a reflection of the country it represents. If Americans are appalled with this Marine’s actions, then I wonder what the author hopes to accomplish with references to similar acts of cruelty in other cultures. The Koreans don’t set benchmarks we seek to achieve.
Seriously, douchebag, I hope you kill yourself, honestly. Not just for your idiotic ramblings, but so your stupid blog doesn’t show up in Google when I’m looking for well-articulated opinions. Please, do it now for all of us.
David Motari is the usual preppy kid who probably picked on nerds in high school, was quarterback on the football team, and fucked all the cheerleaders. He is a perfect example of everything wrong with this country. Careless people who are willing to sacrifice their dignity for something as heartless as throwing a puppy off of a cliff.
While I don’t necessarily like chinese people that kill dogs for food or fur, I don’t hold anything against them for it. However, when I see a marine, a man who is supposed to be fighting for justice and humanity in this world, throw an innocent puppy off of a cliff for shits and giggles, I start to get pissed.
FUK U KUNT
AYO Daniel Taylor IM FINDIN ALL THA INFO ON U RIGHT NOW NIKKA N JUS LIKE MOTARI IMMA FIND YA BITCH ASS N FUCK U UP WORD 2 GOD U HEAR DAT U BITCH ASS NIGGA WORD 2 GOD
Daniel Taylor - another fucking degenerate with a blog. Why don’t you just fucking jump off a cliff you worthless shit?
David Motari better watch his back.
Because there’s a lot of very angry people that know exactly where he, and his family, reside.
Don’t try and dictate to me how I should think and feel in trying to defend your precious military. The activities you present as attempted reasons to ignore this incident disgust me as well.
Daniel Taylor I’mma come kill you based on a post you made on a blog site! Gahahhah Arg *bad.word*.
Remember children, the internetz r serious business.
O DT, I smelled the trees, ur right, they smell like a porn booth.
By all means, Daniel Taylor, throw yourself off of a cliff.
Some people are going to feel seriously owned when they realize what this video is really all about. Have any of you actually seen the pre-cut version of this video? When you do, if you can find it, you will see an islamic flag at the beginning. Yes, the video is real. The puppy was dead though. Really, deader than a doornail. Yes, its true they dont move when picked up by the scruff of the neck but guess what? They also dont move when theyre DEAD. Why arent the legs limp and hanging down? (see rigor mortis) Somehow this video was transferred from the cam to a piece of media that was lost, stolen, or thrown out. It was discovered by someone in Iraq with a cause… to make the USA look bad (like we really need any help in that area). The yelping of the puppy was dubbed in after the fact for propoganda purposes. Worked perfectly too. While playing around with the corpse of a dead dog, is indeed tasteless, most people seem to have taken the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Well, as they say, there is one born every minute. Heh. Sorry to say, you peeps are merely pawns and have been used.
P.S. The pics of the cut up dogs on this website being sold for food is a nice touch, really.
your a piece of shit this guy didnt have to film himself throwing the puppy and laugh about and then post the damn video we dont see that kind of shit every day. fuck David Motari i hope he dies slowly and painfully
#29
You’re an idiot. That dog is not dead. I have not seen the video b/c I don’t want to watch an asshole doing that to a puppy, but just by looking at the pictures, you can clearly see that it’s alive.
You must never have owned a puppy or kitten before.
Their legs don’t go limp when you pick them up by their scruff, they curl up into a fetal-like position as this puppy is doing in the pictures I’ve seen.
Anyways… as to Daniel Taylor… wow, you’re pretty much an idiot as well.
To compare what this asswipe did to people eating dogs as food is just an absolutely ridiculous comparison.
Hmm lets see…. people killing dogs as a food source…..
1 shithead throwing a defenseless puppy off of a cliff for no reason…. yeah… totally the same! *rollseyes*
Agreed 100%. Learn from this. This is society. Rape a 15 year old and shoot her parents in the head, no problem with these “activists”. Kill a million civilians in the name of nothing, still no problem — we’ll just congress you a few more billion. Got to fight for freedom. Can’t let the terrorists win!
Soldiers have stress don’t you know. Being a hero ain’t easy!
Learn from this. This is your world. Never forget that.
You all should sit on you rumps and think up some other thing to talk about. Maybe, some real world issues instead of one guy. He is not a threat to YOUR HOME COUNTRY! So, why bother? He is not a threat to the WORLD! Just think of what could be a harm to you and not an animal. All of you animal lovers, go hug a tree and be merry. I do not enjoy hearing you scruffs talking bad about a MARINE. Yes, it was not the best thing to do, but it happened and get on with it. He should not be punished. He is letting you be able to speak your mind, you should thank him. He is laboring to keep you all free, now you backstab him. He has balls of steel while having lead fly over his head while you sit on your rumps writing deaths threats. You all should go over to Iraq and see how it is for yourselves. You are all protected so you have no IDEA! Shut you mouth and stop being open minded LIBERALS!
Unbelievable how humanity has turned. It was a cruel thing to do, sure, but to say he deserves death in turn, and all the other ghastly remarks being made are just unbelievable to me. What little brains can react in such a way? TO MAKE DEATH THREATS TO THIS MAN’S FAMILY!!! Does the irrational little mind fume the same way over tiny humans being aborted, daily? Noo..that’s okay. If he had intercourse with a young boy, that would be okay too, in the minds of these little half-people, I’m sure of it. But HEAVEN forbid he do wrong to an animal. It was cruel, and sad…but everyone has done something cruel and sad! Leave his family out of it…you sick, scary parasites!
To all those using the “stress” excuse for animal cruelty, I would like to point out that thousands of marines and army staff deal with that stress everyday without killing puppies or raping 15 year olds.
One bad apple will spoil the entire bunch. Like the Abu Gharib Prison photos, there really is NO EXCUSE for these actions.
To those that say this man is no threat, I would point out that all marines are trained killers, HOORAH! One day these trained killers will be returned to our hometowns. I suggest you lock up your 15 year old daughters and puppies, because some of these Marines seem unable to control themselves.
Jeffery Dahlmer started off with killing small, helpless animals. It is a well established fact that most serial killers were animal abusers as children and young people. Consider this, this Marine, David Motari has already broken down his natural resistance to taking life and soon, he will be back stateside. Better lock up your pets!
“the man” IF THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC VIDEO
That marine is NOT fighting for my freedom, He is not representing America or the military. He, and his mother are fucking idiots. She should have flushed his ass down the drain instead of giving birth to him. Just how do you think this reflects American principles to the rest of the world. His actions are the mortar for all of the negative opinions many here and abroad have about OUR nation and the military. As far as fighting for FREEDOM goes, well the 4th REICH is right here at 1600 W. Penn AVE Washington D.C.

P.S DEM DOG EATING ASIANS R SUM SIK PHOCCERS!
I hope you get tossed over a cliff too along with David Motari. You are just a dick who has nothing better to do than to complain about the troubles of the world. And using the South Korean Dog Meat Industry as leverage is not that smart, That is part of their culture that we cannot change without being labled as terrorists… What Motari did was just out of anger. I hope you die you sadistic prick.
Hmmmm, according to the premise presented in your post, it would be okay for me to commit a crime just as long as a similar crime has been committed by someone else? No, that isn’t how we determine what is right or wrong. You also reason that if I am concerned over one despicable act, it means that I have no outrage over other despicable acts? You know perfectly well that this is false.
Before he took his MySpace page down, on March 5th, Motari wrote on his MySpace page “defending” his actions that soldiers develop a strange sense of humor - and he also wrote, initially at least, that he didn’t understand why killing the “stray” was a big deal, which was both a confession to the act and of his guilt. In writing those things he confessed to being the one in the tape, his motivations and his mental state, and his attitude toward the incident. (Later on, after his first “defense” failed to help him, he claimed that the pup was ill and his actions were “humane”. Yeah, sure.)
People aren’t outraged just because a puppy died. This act was outrageous because it was apparently done in order to be funny and he obviously found taking this innocent life to be humorous and then it was videotaped and placed online with the intent of entertaining others. That is what makes it disgusting and frightening that this individual carries a lethal weapon every day.
Anyone given the great responsibility of carrying lethal weaponry must necessarily posses compassion for the weak and the helpless - which this soldier clearly does not. The unfortunate events that lead to the euthanasia of strays, the taking of animal lives for medical research or food, the loss of human lives in warfare, those are all those things that have reasons that everyone the world over understands. Everyone the world over understands that there are complex reasons why death occurs, but to inflict pain in a casual and flippant way in an attempt to entertain is universally unforgivable.
That is the reason that the killing of this puppy draws such outrage! Not because a puppy is more important than anything else, but because the only reason this soldier took this innocent life was for his amusement. It sickens me that he thought that inflicting pain upon a helpless creature would entertain other people. And it heartens me just the tiniest bit that he was wrong.
I do not believe this individual represents the norm in the Marines, and the Marines needs to punish this man and make this punishment publicly known so that the world may witness that this behavior is not condoned.
He also needs psychological evaluation. I see that there is a strong possibility that this soldier is a sociopath and that he did not understand what the emotional effect of killing that puppy “for fun” would have upon the people all around the world. I believe that he didn’t understand because he seems to have expectated that it would have a positive effect (humor), rather than resulting in outrage. He must never be allowed to carry a gun again, nor must he ever be allowed to be in a position of power.
“Vote Democrat”… Yea cuz that solves humane issues. Instead of one damn mutt dying you can advocate the slaughter of millions of unborn CHILDREN every year. You tree hugging liberal communists are really showing just how fucked up you are. Abortion involves the murder of the most innocent of creatures: a human infant, and you vote to keep that legal. Yet when a random dog is killed by a United States Marine you light up his entire life and family because it’s a despicable act of hate. Animals are put on this earth as commodities and until recent history nothing more. It’s sad that You people cant forge real bonds with other humans so you have a dog to call you’re friend. Sure he may have abused that commodity but its no worse a crime than overwatering the lawn.
Fucking piece of shit. If I sat here for the rest of my entire life I could not express in words how much hatred I have for this son of a cocksucking whore. Hey Dave you pussy-assed military faggot, you want me to throw your mother off a cliff in an attempt at showing my “creativity” rather than shooting the slut? Fucking coward, that’s what you are. It sickens me that there is scum like this working for the US military. If anyone here lives anywhere near David Motari’s home, I strongly advise paying that sack of shit a visit and showing him the true meaning of pain. It disgusts me how scum like him can be called a man. That ain’t no man, it’s a fucking pussy thinking that throwing puppies over cliffs is one big funny joke and a really manly thing to do. A real man shows emotion and has his ethics intact. I dare this worthless slimebucket to go one on one with me. I’ll show you how it feels to be tossed over a cliff, by breaking every bone in your body. I’ll even have my homeboy film it and make a website called http://www.motaritoss.com and let everybody here see just what I think of scum who show cruelty towards animals. This is no real man, this is a coward, a loser who I resent stronger than any person I have ever come across, which really is saying something seeing as I hate most people in general. I’ll see you in Hell David, where the hounds will fully avenge the murder of a little innocent puppy. You are true scum and you will pay for your evil actions someday, I promise.
When an animal is euthanized or killed for meat, they are supposed to be killed quickly and painlessly.
That dog died in one of the most terrifying ways possible (except maybe burning alive or drowning). The cliff did not look that high, and it is certainly possible the dog survived the initial impact only to die a slow death.
If your pet was terminally ill and suffering so you took it to the vet to be euthenized, would you like him to scare the shit out of your pet before killing it? Would you want him to toss your pet of the roof of the building and just hope that it dies? Would you want him to make it into a joke?
If I were trying to think of how to completely destroy the millitary’s (or any institution’s) public relations… well I don’t think I could top Dave Motari.
i’m sure this has been said already, although I don’t feel like readying al the posts.
there is a pretty big difference between the humane society euthanizing dogs which it has tried to find a home for, but does not have the resources to care for indefinately, and a US Marine, who is supposed to be helping to bring freedom and enlightenment to one of the most depraved and oppressed countries in the world, throwing a dog off a cliff. Shooting it in the head would have been a better way to go, given that the main defense of this action was that the dog was sick or starving and needed to be put out of its misery. But I guess the ammunition is just too important. The best part, and the part that makes it so inconcievable that there are people out there who would defend this guy, is that he laughs afterwards, which makes me pretty sure that this isn’t the first time hes done it. What a sicko.
Some people are saying that this is nothing because real people are dying overseas right now so why should we care about a little dog? Well, it is expected that when you have a war, especially a guerilla one like were in now, that mistakes and human life are going to be lost. We know that things can happen in the heat of battle that didn’t mean to happen, and that is the worst thing that can happen in war; but, this is worse.
THIS WAS NOT IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE. This was calculated and cruel and decadent. This is why people hate Americans around the world. That someone, especially a soldier, can walk up to something defenseless and kill it. Obviously, it does not need to be explained that the dog wasn’t a terrorist or hurting anybody. This was the act of a sick soldier who walked up to something defenseless and killed it for no reason other than his sick and twisted gratification, and the fact that a soldier can take satisfaction out of killing a baby dog scares a lot of people around the world and makes them hate Americans. After all, if he can do this to a dog that wasn’t hurting anyone that couldn’t fight back, what would he do to a human? Let alone a human who you can’t tell if they are the enemy or not.
This video is more than just someone killing an insignificant dog. This video sums everything up. This is the mighty picking on the weak that can’t fight back for no reason but its own gratification and it brings to life in its characters what the world sees the United States as. This is an American showing no value for, no appreciation for, and no respect for something that is defenseless and even loveable. This video shows a gross abuse of power by a PYSCHOPATH with an ego pretending to be honorable and wearing an honorable uniform, and that sums up and is an example of how people around the world feel and people here it home that don’t feel that the United States in representing their beliefs overseas.
Who even gives a shit what you are tired of? There is nothing worse than a bitch bitching about bitching.
@Daniel Taylor: You’re an imbecile
Dear Daniel Taylor,
I have taken all of your propositions into serious consideration but I have to respectfully decline to “GTFO off the internet”. Now if you let me submit another proposition, how about you stfu and go fuck yourself bitch?
David Motari killed that puppy for no other reason than his own sick pleasure. I hope someone curb stomps him in front of his family.
You cry babies want something to really whine about?
http://theync.com/media.php?name=1899-shocking-video-shows-a-dog-being-beaten-to-death-with-a-brick
Good job. You used time and money to post all this. Fight the good fight!
One question: is this good fight?
Awesome, dude. Your obviously really smart.
you make absolutely no sense. if he threw a baby off a cliff, would you tell me to go to an adoption agency? idiot.
at least he’ll never live this down, that’s the beauty of the internet.
Just goes to show…anybody can blog.
Agree completely with OP. It’s funny that the people getting butthurt have no real substance. It’s not like he can take the dog back to camp with him. Motari even responded and said “We usually just shoot them. They’re starving animals on the side of road, we’re being humane to put them out of their misery, I was just feeling creative that day.”
And yeah, it’s cute that all of the Motari-Haters don’t even have any real means of responding to your post.
Keep up the good work.
I finished reading the comments, these people are absolutely disgusting. The true phenomena here is not that a US soldier killed a dog (which happens every day in Iraq, any soldier can atest to that)- but that so many people are so incredibly disconnected from the world as to not only be so ignorant not to see that whether or not Motari was just in his actions, that there is no excuse for this kind of backlash against him. The dirty cry ‘unclean’, but Motari is spotless.
“David Motari killed that puppy for no other reason than his own sick pleasure.”
Not only is that a lie, he goes on:
“I hope someone curb stomps him in front of his family.”
Like a liar looking down on a thief looking down on a killer looking down on a creep? Really man, really- how black is the kettle, tell me again.
By the way, the citation of his response: http://www.albertastars.com/userphotos/1233_3238_R.JPG
Sorry you’re too self righteous to understand that he was being humane, whether or not you perceive it that way.
http://www.albertastars.com/userphotos/1233_3238_R.JPG
This “soldier” certainly has been contridicting himself.
In one interview I read he said he had a bad day.
Now he’s saying (in the link above) that he was putting the dog out of it’s misery.
No one expected you to carry a stray sick dog back to your base.
Why didn’t you just leave it alone?
If you wanted to put a sick dog down then do it. You don’t have to f**king tie the dogs legs and throw it off a cliff.
Obviously this c*nt had too much time on his hands.
If these soldiers aren’t raping teenage girls, they’re throwing dogs off cliffs.
[...] was the case when a video of a US Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff in Iraq sparked widespread outrage, death threats and maudlin displays of outrage across the internet, the news that Costa Rican [...]
your kind always finds a way to defend any action, no matter how evil. Meanwhile you’re just as happy to attack Barack Obama for knowing someone who exercised their first amendment rights.
to all the people saying it’s a hoax… Why do you assume this, let alone condescend to anyone who thinks it’s not? Can you prove that it is? No, you can’t, and therefore you have no right to criticize others for thinking so.
unfortunate to say, but if people like Daniel Taylor and David Motari died, this world would be a much better place
OKAY FIRST OF ALL DOGS ARE MADE FOR PETS NOT MEAT FAGGOT CHINIESE AND JAPAN IDIOTS HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I CAME TO JAPAN,PHILIPINOS,CHINA AND TIED YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND CUT YOU OPEN WHILE PLEADING FOR ME TO STOP OR I WEAR YOU AS FUR BECAUSE THATS BULL CRAP GOD PUT DOGS ON EARTH TO BE LOVED CARED FOR ALSO CATS AND THEY’RE JUST INISTANT GETTING BEATED UP BY YOU FREAKING FAGGOTS WHO NEED TO DIE DOGS ARE MAN’S BEST FRIEND I GUESS ALL YOU GUYS IN JAPAN ARE JUST WHOSSYS BECAUSE A DOG IS A BEST FRIEND’S MAN. I HOPE WE KEEP ON THROWING CAMPAINS AT YOU! YOU DIERRA CRAP DUMP FAGGOTS WHO NEEED TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
srry but that my name really is jessica bristey i hope you read my comment up there!
srry but that my real names jessica bristey thats just my nickname i hope u read my comment!
srry but my real names jessica bristey, brisco is just my nick name srry
thats just my nickname brisco
Let’s be realistic for just one minute… This was a stray dog found in the Iraqi desert… What do you think it’s likleyhood of survival actually was? There are no vets, vaccinations, medications, or accomidations for taking care of any kind of animal… Further more marines are not allowed to have dogs and are not expected to carry animals back to camp… On top of all of this stray animals carry deseases and parasites, the military orders them to be shot for the purposes of health and welfare…. Honestly if that is what gets him through the day in a potentially deadly region of the world, I say go for it…. The only reason anyone is “outraged” is because this made it to the internet… It’s a stray dying animal with no hope for survival sorry PETA sometimes those are the breaks….
“the man March 7th, 2008 at 11:42 pm 33
You all should sit on you rumps and think up some other thing to talk about.”
Hypocrite says what?
“This video shows a gross abuse of power by a PYSCHOPATH with an ego pretending to be honorable and wearing an honorable uniform, and that sums up and is an example of how people around the world feel and people here it home that don’t feel that the United States in representing their beliefs overseas.

Anyone who would show cruelty to a defenseless animal could probably do the same to a child. There is no way to defend this kind of behavior. The world would be a better place if someone threw this clown off a cliff. Is this an example of the best that America has to offer? This fool, and all of you who think its cool to defend him, are giving America a black eye.
[...] Dave Motari, now this faceless asshole. Granted, sheep aren’t as cute as puppies and we do eat them, but [...]
This slime makes me so irate I can’t even compose myself enough to respond to your asinine argument. Bottom line, this kind of behavior suggests to me that we’re dealing with an extremely twisted, sadistic individual. This is not someone we want defending our country or representing our values overseas. He should not be around anyone or anything that may be vulnerable to his twisted behavior. I still think he should get worse than a discharge from the corps for this; he should definitely be forced to serve a lengthy jail sentence.
Mike
So. Because you think the dogs chance of survival is nil, you deserve to be the one to decide it’s fate?!
You are an idiot!
Leave this fucking guy alone, he was trained to kill people and asked to do what most Americans won’t do. He made a mistake, so take some pay and send him to a shrink. What the fuck do people think happens when you go to another country and people are trying to kill you and your buddies and then you are supposed to act all civil.
Keep it up America and we’ll be a weak little country ripe for the invasion, but don’t worry we’ll all get lawyers to sue the invading nation because of cruelty to us and win lots of money while we then have drinks with our invaders and talk civil with them.
Daniel
How can you compare apathy to animal cruelty?
Throwing a defenseless puppy off of a cliff in uniform? And taping it? It takes a “real man” I guess.
David Motari is an a##, and the Marines recognized it too late.
Whatever, Daniel. You’re boring. Too Much Emotion.
I can’t believe you are defending this prick. I don’t care if it’s “just a dog”. Dogs being put to sleep at the dog pound, while sad, is still a big difference.
This was just pure twisted stupidity and anyone defending this sort of action is no better. I support our troops 100% and by the way, this has NOTHING to do with who you voted for. Telling someone to “vote democrat” because of their response to this video is probably the most retarded thing I have ever read. I vote Republican and I can assure you, it still pisses me off to see something like this. Sad that we used to be looked UP to in the world. What happened to those days, the days when we as Americans could hold our heads up high with pride, and know that we were on the side of right. I am sick and tired of watching these stupid assholes tarnish the reputation of the U.S. Armed forces. As if things weren’t bad enough already out there, just another log on the fire. Way to go! As far the people defending this Marine, you all deserve bullets in the head. What ever happened to doing the right thing? I don’t care if they kill/eat dogs in Korea. Iraq isn’t Korea and neither is the US, and I seriously doubt anyone went down and found that dog for dinner. Wise up!
He is a jerk for laughing and smiling as he killed that puppy. There is no excuse for behavior like that, or to film it. But his life is ruined, so he got what he deserved. :))
If the dog’s likely fate otherwise was to starve, the soldier did not harm it by killing it quickly. Maybe people are really more enraged by his cheerfulness about it. I don’t know what it is like to be there, but I imagine it requires toughmindedness and a steel stomach. This soldier served with his own life in danger, and it is sad that people are judging him a monster (let alone threatening his mother) over a dog’s life. We all harden ourselves and tune out suffering selectively to deal with reality. Even if his conduct was outrageous, it is no fallacy to urge that outrage be spent on something more important. That he was sent there in the first place is more outrageous than throwing a puppy off a cliff.
the reasons for us being there have nothing to do with what he did. quit trying to excuse what the guy did by blaming it on an unjust war or whatever else. i wouldnt throw ANYTHING off a cliff, and that dog looked fat and pudgy, hardly starving. enough with the hypothetical bs. any level-headed person wouldn’t do such a thing, and especially not while a buddy was filming it with a camera.
i think the guy is an idiot on multiple levels.
