The Girl Who Caused Outrage Around the World When She Appeared on Video Throwing Puppies in a River Has Been Caught

Police in the Bosnian town of Bugojno say they have identified the girl seen on the video throwing six puppies in a river, but they are not going to release her name due to concerns for her safety.

It is not known if the person who filmed the video has been identified also.

The girl is a juvenile, and police were able to locate her with the help of animal rights groups in the country.

The girl's parents will soon be questioned, police said. Under recently adopted animal protection law, people can be fined up to €5,000 ($6,400) for cruel treatment of animals.

The disturbing video sparked outrage when it was posted online as it showed a young blond girl in a red sweater seemingly gleefully throwing six puppies from a bucket into a river.

There were rumors on Thursday that the girl had been identified to be someone named Katja Puschnik or Antonia Miskic, and that she had made a YouTube apology, but those have since turned out to be false.

People all over the world went on the hunt to identify the girl and the person who took the video, and 4Chan were even involved.

It is not known what will happen to the girl, or why she threw the puppies in the river in the first place. There were reports that she had done so because they were ill and her grandmother asked her to get rid of them, but those are unconfirmed.

Now that she has been caught, it is not known if her name will ever be released.

I wonder how she would feel if someone tied a brick around her neck and threw her in the river. She is a very sick individual.

throw her into the river and hold her head down just until she drowns and do this over and over again and see how she feels after that

I hope someone does the exact same thing to her. Anyone who would do that is sick and dangerous, and doesn't have a heart. We're better off without that disgusting monster in the world. She's a waste of valuable space.

animals cruelty is completely wrong

When it comes to animal cruelty I can be very cruel and sadistic on my thoughts towards the other people. But when I saw this video I instantly felt heat rushing through my body and cried but also at the time I wanted to do this to her. 1) chop her legs off and her arms. 2)cut off her eyelids. 3)and throw her in a river so she can watch her own death and see if she can swim and live. I thought it was a very good idea. :D

And I suppose men are better than women? Whites are better than blacks? You are better than every other living thing on this planet? YOU are the "dumb bitch" for thinking you're better than everyone else, you sick fuck.

It was not right at all what this lil girl did, she is going to pay a fine she should have to pay for each one & have to do time in jail. Whether or not they were viewed as unclean it still gives no  one the right to toss them in the river like that. Those poor pups didn't even have a chance, it looks as if that water was very cold and the second to last or the last looked as if it may have hit the tree before it went into water. She deserve all that's coming to her. The police wants to protect her name for what, if it were a celebrity they would have it all over the place

No, the really disgusting thing here is that shes a juvinile, all you people saying yeah shes sick twisted going to jail do it to her, i love your support and its my wishful thinking as well, but the truth of it all is the girls just a kid, there for her parants will probally pay the fine and have to deal with what shes just done as she grows up and lives her life like nuthing happened. That you readers is the truly disturbing fact. and we all have to deal with it

I'd cut her up then pour vinegar into her cuts. then throw her in the ocean. with weights on her back. cover'd in blood so the sharks cud get her. I think that'd be a splendid idea. unfortunatly , their just ideas -.-''

I think it is wrong what she did but all of us aren't better in a way, im not saying that what she did was right. It was horrible and she should be thrown in jail but, WE eat meat everyday. Do you know how they kill cows ? well they slit their necks and let them bleed to death.

But we kill them for a purpose, food. We need to eat.

We dont just kill them for a youtube video.

Are you just trying to get a rise out of people.  Do you think you are really that smart when you make statements about evolution.  I think it's time you examine yourself and look at the person you have become.
