Marine Expelled For Throwing Puppy Over Cliff
Marine Is Expelled From
USMC For Animal Cruelty!
Today, in Honolulu, it was announced that Lance Cpl. David
Motari is "being processed for separation" from the Marine Corps
according to a
USMC news release.
The 17-second video that was posted on YouTube in March was an
instant topic of discussion. The clip shows two Marines joking
before Motari hurls the puppy into a rocky gully. There was a
yelping sound heard as the puppy helplessly flipped through the
air. Besides being expelled from the Marine Corp, Motari also
received unspecified non-judicial punishment.
The YouTube video was played hundreds of thousands of times
before YouTube took it off their site because of a violation of
the site's terms of use.
"In honor of the millions of men and women
who have worn the Marine uniform, I feel that the Marine Corps
has followed through and done a great job in dismissing David
Motari from service. This should be an example that no one is
above the law and everyone has a moral duty to uphold and
represent our great country. It was you, the public, with your
outrage who made this happen," replied Chris DeRose in response
to hearing the news of Motari's dismissal.
The second Marine in the video, Sgt. Crismarvin Banez
Encarnacion, also received unspecified non-judicial punishment.
"The actions seen in the Internet video are contrary to the high
standards we expect of every Marine and will not be tolerated,"
Marine Corps Base Hawaii said in a news release.
