HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) — It’s been nearly two months since a video appeared on the Internet showing a U.S. Marine tossing what appeared to be a live puppy into a ravine.
The Marine Corps says it’s still investigating, with no charges and no disciplinary action so far.
A new statement from Marine Corps Base Hawaii calls the video “appalling, deplorable and contrary to the high standards we expect of every marine at home and abroad.”
The corps says it first learned of the video appearing on the Web site YouTube on March 3.
The statements says the investigation will confirm authenticity of the video and identify those responsible.
The announcement says the vast majority of Marines conduct their duties with honor and compassion. It cites numerous incidents of Marines adopting pets.
