Poodle abuse case 2011

Last week Friday, came a viral video on facebook depicting a man trying to train a poodle on how to stand on its hind legs. Whenever it goes back on four, the man would smack the poodle angrily and viciously.

The video, claimed to be found by a woman in a shopping complex on a thumb drive. Not caring about other people's privacy, she plugged in the thumb drive to her computer and found a video in it. Thinking it could be another Edison Chen scandal waiting to happen, she double clicked the video file and found this video.
Thinking to herself that she could gain recognition from finding this, she posted that video on youtube and (maybe it was her that posted it on) facebook as well rather than to send this to the police or SPCA.

So now on facebook, there's this huge following on trying to get the man arrested. Through the video, many came up and claimed that they knew the man in the video along with his friends.
In these past few days, some internet detective work was conducted by fans of the facebook group against this dog abuser to pinpoint who the man is. They "found" him and her.

The accused couple based on internet/facebook search had evidence pointing to them from their profile pictures. This has led the couple to receive countless and endless death threats from the kind hearted Malaysians. Telling them to die, kill themselves and cursing their family and friends.

Today, news came out that the man that was accused wasn't the man in the video. His defense is that he has no tattoos on unlike the man in the video. Being Malaysian who cannot accept anything else but 'their own' truth, some members of the fan group said that he could've removed the tattoos or had used a washable one during the filming of the video...

Below is an extract from a comment I posted on facebook (not their fan page)

I went to the fan page and the moment I saw death threats and defamatory remarks... I know that majority of the people who liked that page (to get the couple into jail) are retards....
I know you're pissed off but to go and curse his family, his mom, his dad, etc. That just shows how intelligent/ educated most of these 'fans' are.
Heck I was looking at some of the photos uploaded... comments from the some users are supporting abuse of animals...

Take the image below for an example (disturbing content)

Really? You're supporting it and yet you show such anger/hatred towards the poor thing. Even though it could be a joke, remember what happened when this dude 'jokingly' said that he was the one responsible for the Church attacks back in Jan 2010? He was arrested.

Seriously people... think before you start dissing others. It gives a bad impression on you and if many follows, our own country.
