Uncomfired Reports Are Surfacing on the Internet That the Girl Who Appears in the Video Posted on the Internet Throwing Puppies in a River Has Been Identified

Internet users around the world have expressed shock and outrage over a video that was posted on the web of a young blond girl throwing six puppies into a river. The girl in the video is speaking Croatian and was originally uploaded to YouTube and LiveLeak, but was quickly taken down.

PETA has now offered a $2,000 reward for anyone with information leading to the identity of this girl and the Internet has wasted no time trying to throw out all sorts of names and identities as to who it might be. Two names trending a lot on the web on Wednesday morning are Katja Puschnik and Antonia Miskic, although those reports are unconfirmed and the source of the rumors are not known.

4Chan, who were behind the outing of Mary Bale, the woman who placed the cat in the wheelie bin in England, have dug up some information already on the case.

According to them, the YouTube account from which the video was originally uploaded belongs to a user named Martin, and he lives in Bugojno, Bosnia.

They have also posed on the above image boards, some possible Facebook accounts of the YouTube account holder, his mother and the girl who appears in the video and even some of their friends. 

No one has come forward with any admission of guilt at this time, but as with other similar cases, it seems to be only a matter of time as nothing is secret on the Internet.

Yeah - fantastic... 4Chan and most of these other "activists" hunting for this girl via the internet typically use the shotgun approach - name as many people they can find who it might possibly just may be, and then let the death threats root out the real individual. 4Chan has about as much investigative subtlety as a pack of Rottweilers, and in every case they've tried to locate someone, there have been a number of innocent people caught in the fracas. Crazy cat-in-a-dumpster lady? Several other people continue to receive hate mail because they were wrongly accused. Boxxy? They managed to have death threats and general harassment directed to several other young girls and their families before narrowing the window over the course of several weeks. On and on.I agree that this girl, her video taping companion and whoever else was involved in this act should be given a stern lecture at least, that tossing puppies into a river, isn't a morally correct way to deal with unwanted strays in the eyes of most people - but the current gang-mentality of using the internet to hit everybody and everyone who *might* be the culprit - and passing off names and information to the world that may or may not be the individual that is being hunted, is not the way to go. But when has a collection of innocent persons who may get harassed unfairly ever stopped Anonymous, or other zealots, from pursuing those they deem worthy of their wrath. So long as they eventually get the one their after, right? And my God - what a show for the media to tag along with.

First intelligent comment I've read in this whole cyberbullying gangbang.  Stupidity can be so passionate sometimes... I thought I was the only one caring for all those falsely accused girls.  I'm also against that whole witch-hunting masquerade.
