We have family downstate Illinois who posted the video on facebook to help track these punks down. It made me sick to watch.

NORTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY • Two boys have been arrested after viewers from across the country saw an Internet video of a boy punching and throwing a dog. Laughter can be heard as the dog is slammed to the ground.

St. Louis County Police launched an investigation Thursday after getting calls about the video and that afternoon arrested two students from the Riverview Gardens School District.

The boys were referred to the county’s Family Court for the charge of animal abuse. They were being held at the St. Louis County Juvenile Justice Center.

The animal was taken into protective custody by county Animal Control. A staff member reached there late Thursday afternoon would only say that “the dog is safe and there’s an open investigation.”

1. People who do bad things to animals

are people who will do bad things to people.

2. The abuse is horrific enough

but then they have to record it, and post it in an open forum as if they're proud or boastful of their actions.

3. In a way, it's a good thing they posted it. At least now the doggie is safe.

Gotta go hug my girl.
