Bosnian Police Announce That They Will Not Press Charges Against Girl Who Threw Puppies Into River

This girl gained international infamy by throwing puppies into a fast-moving river while being videotaped. They then put the videotape on YouTube. Now, the Bosnian police have decided that she will face no punishment of any kind due to her age.

I fail to understand why an act of such cruelty would go unpunished even as punishment of a minor. I certainly do not believe that she should be punished as an adult given her age. However, all countries have juvenile proceedings to allow some punishment for youthful violators. The puppies were rescued by an onlooker but to say that there was no harm to the animals is facially absurd.

The girl is shown in the video shouting “Wooo!” as she throws the puppies one by one into the river. The penalties in the country are quite low, including a 5,000 GBP fine. However, the police have decided to impose no punishment, not even a fine, for the horrific act.
