A video showing a soldier ruthlessly beating a sheep, most likely to death, has surfaced. My deep regrets and apologies for posting it - I admit I sobbed when I saw it - but something has to be done about this horrific event. It is an insult to all human beings, especially those who honorably serve our country. Cruelty can't stand the spotlight. Read More















Link To The Video
Marc, your link just takes me to the PETA Website & I can't find the video anywhere there - after some searching I found it's possible to see it here:

It is absolutely horrifying, & it seems most unlikely the sheep would have survived. However, I personally don't find it surprising. Military training has always inevitably involved the systematic humiliation & brutalisation of recruits. I imagine this kind of abuse is quite widespread particularly in situations like Afghanistan where the men are likely to be less restrained by the moral values of their home country. But this can't possibly excuse such appallingly brutal behaviour, and I hope those responsible will be found & prosecuted under military law.
military abuse
raises any issues- phone videos nowshow crimes previously hidden-like the soldiers found urinating on dead taliban -now issues public-how todeal with them? army supervisors at fault for poor training? governments for turnng blind eye?
This is what we are...
Unfortunately, that's what we are now. We are a country in which the savages in the audience of a Republican debate cheer "Yes!" at the prospect of a hypothetical, uninsured fellow citizen dying due to lack of medical insurance. We are a Social Darwinist society in the making in which the social insurance hypocrite Ayn Rand is the new goddess of the marketplace. We are a society that proclaims itself "Christian" but has no use for Christ's admonition that "that which you do to the least of you you do for me." We are a society in which college students peacefully exercising their right under the fantasy of the U.S. Constitution are systematically hosed with non-lethal chemical weapons by the new Gestapo. And we are a society in which the sadism of soldiers who dispatch and then piss on the corpses of fallen adversaries with glee are lionized by the neo-fascist, right-wing propagandists and idealogues. Oh, and in which beating a defenseless animal to death in front of its owner is the entertainment fodder of YouTube.
That is what we have become, and I could not be more ashamed. If I had the wherewithal to leave, I would do so. But I can't, so I am stuck here in this hypocritical, neo-fascist, theocratic AmeriKKKa with the rest of you. It is not the country I grew up in in which civil rights were in the acendancy. It is a budding right-wing, dystopic hell. Accept it or fight it. I have yet to make up my mind which is the course I will take.
this event is not acceptable
this event is not acceptable in war it is not permitted to cut even s tree with out a necessary but not an animal we have saw in Palestine there lot of innocent women and children are beating up and shot out by Israeli soldiers

AD completed as well as a personal email to my Congressman's animal welfare staff. He calls himself a "military man". Let's see how much so.

Hey maybe they ate it? It's a goat after all. Honestly why all this overreaction? If that was human being being beaten would there be as much hype? Honestly I believe we a truly a perverted society when a goat becomes a concern for many grown people. Have you never seen an animal die, do you know where your food and products come from, or are you so detached that a bunch of soldiers beating a goat causes pain? Life feeds off life my friends. Want to inflict no harm? - commit suicide.

@anonymous 1:20pm: You are an idiot. The animals we eat for food are not killed like that. It is people like you ho scare me about how detached the human race is becoming. I am thankful there are still decent human beings who are saddened and disgusted by this horrific incident. Youare a sad, empty soul if you truly believe those comments you made.
soldiers are trained to be
soldiers are trained to be aggressive & kill- they re scared & wound up & discouraged from understanding the politics of wars they re used in- If they re not taught very firmly by reprimand it is unethical to torment sheep for amusement- next it will be [and is] unarmed civiians being tormented - in their own countries where army are deploye d-- as in the trial this week where US soldier led his platoon to kill entire innocent family & got 3 months in the cooler for it --not the life sentence the surviving reltives expected ,
