HONOLULU (AP) - Military officials are investigating an Internet
video that purports to show a Marine throwing a puppy off a rocky
cliff.
Maj. Chris Perrine of the Marine Corps Base Hawaii says it
appears the man is based with a unit in the islands.
Marine officials are calling the YouTube video "shocking and
deplorable" and say it violates "the high standard we expect of
every Marine."
The low-quality video shows two Marines joking as one holds up
what appears to be a motionless black and white puppy, which he
then hurls into a rocky gully.
A yelping sound is heard as it flies through the air.
