The small caramel-colored dog with floppy ears stands on a table and wags its tail. Then, a voice commands, Go.
In one swift movement, the man gripping the dog by its midsection lifts it up and turns it upside down over a silver keg.

Lets go, keg stand! someone bellows as another man holds a black tap near the dogs mouth. The now-squirming canine kicks its paws in the air. Suddenly, a stream of foamy liquid squirts from the tap, hitting the dog in its face.
A grinning bystander doubles over and covers his mouth. Someone else lets out a loud peal of laughter.
But the incident, which was captured on video and shared to social media over the weekend, wasnt funny to the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or to Hofstra University administrators.
The Long Island university confirmed Monday that it suspended its chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi pending the results of an investigation after the five-second clip purportedly involving some of the fraternitys members prompted fierce backlash. The video, which had been viewed more than 100,000 times on Twitter as of early Tuesday, also caught the attention of the Nassau County SPCA, leading the organization to launch its own investigation.

(33,643 posts)How much of a DICK (I assume it's still okay to use this word on DU?) does one have to be to take part in something like this?
Whether it was beer or water, this is animal torture.
Sounds like some assholes need to be expelled, pronto, and with extreme prejudice ...

(8,144 posts)worked in a rescue shelter and two young guys came when we were closed with their college sweatshirts insisting while smirking that I let them in to see some dogs. I just smelled something. It was all off. I was the only person on duty.
Yeah, young monsters.
