Bristol Palin: I Made A Mistake
Bush Making Big Return To White House
In what may (hopefully) be the last episode of a bizarre saga, Gawker reports that Bosnian authorities will not charge the girl who, as evidenced by disturbing viral-video footage, hurled multiple puppies into a river. It turns out that the girl is 12 years old and therefore Bosnian authorities deem her too young for punishment.
The report comes from German PETA's correspondence with a German newspaper, seen below through Google Translate:
The girl was 12 years too young for punishment. Another reason is that an old woman had reported and claimed to have rescued the puppies.
Campaign Manager Nadia Kutscher of Germany eV Peta is appalled: "This is, in our view impossible. The pups of the old woman looked different than on the video. Above all, the little puppy would never be able to survive this."

How an old woman was not only aware of the fact that there would be helpless puppies floating down the river but also be capable of rescuing them from certain death is unclear.Those who saw the video when it first spread across the Internet were understandably outraged by the girl's behavior. Among those who took aim was the infamous image-sharing community 4chan. In fact, 4chan was so effective the last time it took on a case of animal cruelty, successfully identifying "Evil British Cat Bin Woman," that users decided to take on the case of the puppy-throwing Bosnian girl as well. Bosnian police later identified the girl, at which point it appeared she would face fines up to $6,400.
