(Animal lovers may not like the content of this article AKA Youtube footage of a misadjusted Bosnian girl drowning a bucket of puppies in a river )
The newest “Gate” incident we have is Puppy Gate, and thanks to those trolling basement-dwelling do-gooders at 4Chan the Puppy Gate case can be closed.The Interwebz was stormed by chilling footage of a blonde teenaged female hucking puppies into a river like she’s playing in a 6th grade slo-pitch match. I’m no animal lover (frankly, I have two cats and I hate them), but this shit is fucked up.
Questioning why the video was posted seems like a moot point now seeing as how this girl’s life is probably in shambles now. Word of this evildoing spread quickly and justice was demanded. Rising from the bottom of Social Darwinism’s barrel, 4Chan has come to the rescue yet again, and helped to identify theperpetrator. Trolling day and night, 4Channers tracked the video to a Youtube account in Bosnia, uncovered the owner’s Facebook page, and then analyzed the videographer’s Facebook friends to identify this girl. Bosnian police have since arrested the girl in question, and a shoddily made Youtube apology has been posted that apologizes for the girl’s actions
At this point, a few serious questions are raised, neither of which are related:
A) Why was this being recorded in the first place? Different reasons have been tossed around for why this girl did this, the most popular excuse being that her grandmother told her to do it, because the dogs were “sick”. If this was a farm-hand task, and not something sociopathic, why did it need to be recorded for posterity?
B) Do 4Channers have the right to do this to people? Cat Bin Lady, and now Puppy Drowner Girl, have fallen to the keyboard strokes and mouse-clicks of a bunch of computer nerds. The term “digital lynch mob” springs to mind, brandishing .gifs of flaming torches and pitchforks. An administrator on Reddit posted this letter to all users and I can say I definitely agree with him when he calls for users to stop posting people’s personal information on public domain for malicious purposes. He closes with this line: “You are seriously messing with innocent people’s lives and you have no right to do so. Fucking quit it.”
Now you know the story of Puppy Gate. Now ain’t that some shit.
