1. UPDATE: LANCE CPL. DAVID MOTARI EXPELLED FROM MARINES
=======================
6/11/08: The Marine Corps expels one Marine and disciplines another for their roles in a video showing a puppy tossed over a cliff to his death. Both soldiers were on patrol on Iraq at the time. In the video a man identified as David Motari dangles a black and white dog by the scruff of the neck, cooing: “Cute little puppy.” Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion baby-talks: “Ah, so cute, so cute…little puppy.” Motari then hurls the animal over a cliff into a rocky gulch. The dog, who looks about 12 weeks old, squeals while flying through the air. A thud is heard far below…
The 17-second video posted on YouTube drew sharp condemnation from animal rights groups when it came to light in March. “That’s mean. That’s mean, Motari,” an off-camera Encarnacion is heard telling the Marine who tossed the black and white dog. The off-camera Marine snickered slightly afterward.
Lance Cpl. David Motari, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment at Kaneohe Bay, is “being processed for separation” from the Marine Corps… He also received unspecified “non-judicial punishment.”
The second Marine, Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion, also received unspecified “non-judicial” punishment. Encarnacion is assigned to the Weapons and Field Training Battalion, Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego…
=======================
2. WHAT ABOUT PROSECUTION FOR THE CRIME OF ANIMAL ABUSE?
=======================
FROM KINSHIP CIRCLE: While we applaud the Marine Corps for expelling Motari and reprimanding his accomplice Encarnacion — animal cruelty is a CRIME. Our letters asked for the men to be charged with aggravated cruelty and intentional killing of a companion animal. We urged maximum penalties and psychological counseling…
