A Bosnian girl who gained worldwide notoriety after footage of her gleefully throwing puppies into a river was posted online has escaped punishment.Police in her home town of Bugojno have said the girl, who is believed to be 12 years old, is too young to be prosecuted. They also claim the puppies were saved by an elderly woman who fished them out of the river, and was later photographed with them.
The 44-second video shows a blonde girl in a red jumper casually taking the squealing black-and-white puppies out of a white bucket and tossing them into the fast-moving river one by one. Animal rights group PETA has condemned the decision not to prosecute the girl.
"This is outrageous," the group was quoted as saying in German newspaper Bild.
"The puppies that the old woman was with were completely different ones to those thrown into the river in the video. The puppies would never have survived in the river. "
That's the bad news
