Posted by: anne hoesch | April 1, 2009 03:27 PM

This is FANTASTIC news...I am thankful for PETA, everyone who signed the petitions, for Ximena Flores Castro, and the Bolivian minister of defense!! This is an excellent example of compassion and actions on behalf of animals and must be shared with the US Military to prompt them to do the same NOW!!!

Posted by: Heather | April 1, 2009 03:28 PM

Phew! Thank you Bolivia and PETA for organizing this... Like many others, I have had nightmares after seeing this video.

Posted by: Bobby | April 1, 2009 03:54 PM

I just finished watching the video posted on this page and am SO happy that poor helpless animals will no longer be going through the brutal torture and pain. The acts which were done to those poor dogs were outrageous. I am so mad and upset that this went on there and still goes on in many other country's. It's a sick,sick practise that needs to be stopped. There ARE other ways for the military. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PETA. You have my full support

Posted by: Lindsay | April 1, 2009 03:55 PM

This is a great victory for both PETA and Bolivia - and another proof that it's worth to be a proud Peta member!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Sofia | April 1, 2009 04:27 PM

I'm happy to read this news, but I'm not sure if this is not only for good publicity and, secretely, Bolivia will continue to slaughter dogs mercilessly. Remember that Bolivia has a festival where they eat cats.

Posted by: Cordelia | April 1, 2009 04:32 PM

¡¡¡ very well PETA and Bolivian people!!! good job ¡¡¡congratulations for all!! I'm very happy . Thanks for give us this wonderful news

Posted by: Monica | April 1, 2009 04:47 PM

Certainly a disgusting practise and something one would expect to have been abolished centuries ago... I'm amazed - and distressed - that the US army still hasn't outlawed this obviously inhuman, barbaric and useless practise!

Heartfelt congratulations to PETA and to everyone supporting PETA!!

Posted by: Kathleen Conner | April 1, 2009 06:46 PM

YES! I am super duper thrilled! I was sick and sad to know that they were killing dogs, but now I'm half OK. At least now all we've gotta deal with is the stupid flippin US!

Posted by: Fernanda | April 1, 2009 09:45 PM

Hey! Thank you guys so much for everything you do for the animals, but I think you should put a link so that people can thank the bolivian goverment for this great desition.

Posted by: Diego | April 1, 2009 10:13 PM

As a PETA supporter I am happy for this victory for animal reforms in Bolivai. But the video clearly shows a need formilitary training reform too. How they used these animals was barbaric - are they planning to still use those training techniques> Hope not!

Posted by: cjm | April 1, 2009 10:14 PM

Wow, I have never seen such a group of pathetic men in my life then i've just seen in that video. If they had any balls of any kind they should have they could have at least not held the dog down and let it defend itself. Bolivia's military is absolutely pathetic in every way and I would have loved to have been there to tell them......Awesome job PETA and I love how no country, however dismal, isn't to far to be changed by PETA

Posted by: Tommy | April 1, 2009 10:22 PM

Posted by: Adriana Vicario Chávez | April 1, 2009 11:25 PM

Well, it is a great advance and I am really glad for it. Nevertheless we must neither deceive nor do false expectations to us. It is a secret to voices, which these insane practices realize in all the Armed Forces around the world, in the trainings of the "special forces" or "elite forces" also called Commandos. If a man is trained to kill other one, why he cannot commit these atrocities and worse others against these defenseless "not Human "animals ?

Posted by: Fernando | April 1, 2009 11:44 PM

Let's keep up the pressure on US, Canada to do the same. Unacceptable for these countries to torture and kill animals to train soldiers.

Posted by: Jamie Rivet | April 2, 2009 02:12 AM

Thank you PETA! I haven't had the courage to see the film... Its description was enough. In can't more support all this suffering! It's wonderful to know finally it is ended!

Posted by: Paola | April 2, 2009 03:07 AM

i`m excited that we all could help to make a difference! i pray that all the animals that died before peta could help is sitting in Gods garden....

Posted by: elzaan | April 2, 2009 03:32 AM

Thanks Peta, couldn't watch the video because I know how awful it would make me feel and am going to bed, want to feel happy in knowing that this torture has ended. May all the animals who have been subject to this cruelty rest in peace and all the others be free of pain and this abuse come to an end in other countries as well. When will human understand the pain they are causing? Makes me so furious that abuse like this is happening, lets make it stop!!

Posted by: katie cooper | April 2, 2009 03:52 AM

PETA gives me a wonderful reason to live...There are a lot of inhuman "human" in the world but there are a lot of responsible ones too. Supporting PETA's activities, it works always!

Posted by: carla lewis | April 2, 2009 06:00 AM

When I saw that video, I was appalled at the fact that this is how they train there military. This victory is a landmark of hope of all abuse against any animal to stop. Thanks Peta, if it wasn't for your wonderful organization, the abuse and torture, and killings would have still continued in Bolivia. Lets hope all other country will follow suit!,

Posted by: Cristina Rodriguez | April 2, 2009 08:20 AM

congratulations to all of us for this very very good news, let us continue to support PETA, and the "stolen fashion" issue, about the fur, i hope that companies like burberry, will drop the fur in their line, so people will stop doing cruel things to animals just for nonsense fashion, and about the 30 day vegetarian pledge of PETA, i am now trying to be a vegetarian, after seeing the videos about how the people slaughter animals, those were way beyond my worst nightmares, i hope animal cruelty will stop, before it's too late, congratulations again to PETA and to all of us, supporters...

Posted by: anonymous | April 2, 2009 09:20 AM

I NEVER EVEN IMAGED THAT SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE COULD BE HAPPENING TO POOR HELPLESS ANIMALS IN OUR OWN MILITARY, THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED TO TORTURE ANIMALS BECAUSE THERE SHOULD BE NO NEEED FOR WAR!!!!!! IT IS CALLED PEACE!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: eleanor Labrozzi | April 2, 2009 11:16 AM

How do we let the Bolivian Government / Military know that we appreciate their decision? Can't we all send them an email just like we did in the petition?

Posted by: Angie Dunn | April 2, 2009 11:23 AM

Very good and promising start.
Congratulation,PETA!

Posted by: sonali | April 2, 2009 12:58 PM

Peta, you have done a wonderful job. I also wrote to the Bolivian Government to stop this horrific act on dogs.

This is a message for members like myself - keep donating money to PETA so that they can accomplish things like this. This does not happen just by accident. They need the donations to continue what they are doing.

how cruel humans can be. I wish there was more of us fighting this. I am still in tears.

Posted by: Anushka Govender | April 2, 2009 10:41 PM

I would certainly hope that they would change what they are doing. It is absolutely barbaric. They atleast will change while they know they are being watched. That is the saddest part of all of your triumphs.

Posted by: Anita Pratt | April 2, 2009 10:54 PM

I didn't get past the first 5 seconds and I quit watching. I wished I hadn't seen any of it. This kind of cruelty is beyond imagination to me. Great job PETA!!

Posted by: Shelly | April 2, 2009 11:01 PM

I'm from Bolivia I'am ashamed to be Bolivian after watching this video. Thank you PETA for your hardwork and determination its people like you that will make this world a better place for animals. May those dogs finally get the justice and rest they deserve.

Posted by: Zulema Perez | April 2, 2009 11:11 PM

Thank God. I never watched the video and still won't. I have three dogs and can't even imagine how people can be so cruel! Thanks PETA!! I

Posted by: Amy Curtis | April 2, 2009 11:15 PM

Did anyone read in the video that those "commandos" were U.S. trained? Where are those Two-Legged Monsters that thought this up? Reminders such as these should ALWAYS contain the sounds of suffering of animals, not just the visuals. Those poor animals had to suffer for 15 seconds (just listen to that poor dog) of agony. And for what? Those "commandos" were going to learn to like the smell and taste of human blood anyway. Remember, this is how Vietnam solders were conditioned - ON SITE! May the "master minds" and those who carried out these animal rapes forever burn in HELL! No forgetgulness, no forgiveness and no "peaceful" balm of Death.

Posted by: Ida | April 2, 2009 11:18 PM

Posted by: Paula | April 2, 2009 11:28 PM

Could not stand to watch the video, why any country would be proud to do this to any animal is beyond me. I hope it will stop but more than likely they will just move operations where PETA isnt

Posted by: Charlie | April 2, 2009 11:35 PM

Hey Obama and co. get the hint?!

Posted by: james | April 2, 2009 11:36 PM

I was disgusted to see the video and ashamed that my country would do such a thing however I am extremely HAPPY!! to hear they agreed to have a law for the first time to defend animals from cruelty! I am also thankful to you PETA and all the people who cared enough to write and asked the government to stop this unnecessary and cruel act. I pray that they stick to their promise to work on protecting animals and punish abuse to the fullest! animals deserve a good life just like us! Thanks for all the work you do and God Bless you for helping protect these wonderful and loving creatures. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Posted by: Shirley K | April 2, 2009 11:44 PM

Thank you PETA and to all the compassionate people out there. I wish I could say I feel happy at this moment. I can't help thinking of all the other creatures out there that are being abused, tortured and killed right now. I will never understand how anyone can inflict such cruel acts upon loving, innocent beautiful creatures, who want nothing more than to be loved by humans. My heart constantly aches over this. Some days it aches less than others. We must do what we can, spread the word, help where we can and support when we can.

Posted by: Janet | April 2, 2009 11:51 PM

Why were they killing dogs? is there a war going on somewhere involving dogs attacking humans in battle? I've never heard of dogs taking over a country etc.UMMMM if there is.. I want to let the morons know that dogs can't carry weapons, or plan battle attacks.. so the violence against dogs NEEDS to stop

Posted by: Gustavo P | April 3, 2009 01:02 AM

While this is a step in the right direction, WHAT IS BEING DONE TO THE COWARDS WHO MURDERED THAT BABY WHILE SHE SCREAMED IN PAIN? Military or not, no human being with a soul could stand by and let that happen. Any instructor or attendee who participated in this or any other canine murder needs immediate and [hopefully] painful punishment. I want whatever the Bolivian equivalent of a court marshall is, and NOW. PETA, please take this a step further and help bring justice for the dogs they have already murdered in cold blood. Please, please, please also add a warning to the front of that video. I was sick over the text and should have known better, but I watched the video (thinking it can't be as bad as I imagine since there isn't a warning) and I've been sick for an hour. I know the pain of those poor, poor animals is so much worse, but I don't think I will ever recover after watching that. That baby's screams will haunt me always.

Though I did not watch the video (cos I knew that if I watch, I sure will cry, just like the killing of rabbits video from Peta). But I'm very happy that this cruelty action had finally stopped, Great job Peta.

Posted by: Irene Wong | April 3, 2009 02:49 AM

I could not believe what I had seen on the video. I cried for days, was angry and felt hatred towards those inhumane people. I prayed all day and asked God why this happens, asked why He does not stop people in their tracks, well the answer was PETA requiring help from us all to stop this. The animals have been heard. To those little angels that died in so much pain at the hands of so-called humans, we are so sorry it took so long to save you, never will we forget your cries, but we do know that in heaven you have a place and will be taken care of.
I often say to people have you ever wondered why God created animals before humans, God knew of their unconditional love and forgiveness and DOG, means GOD's best friend. They have a place; they belong, if we could only just have 10% of the love and forgiveness that animals do, imagine what a better world this would be.

It's impossible to watch this video without crying and wishing I could inflict the same pain on these men - how can savagery like this help the world?I'm glad the Bolivian government has passed this bill and I hope to God it is followed. I hope the US army will follow suit and live up to its reputation of being a civilised country.

Posted by: Cherida | April 3, 2009 03:07 AM

this video is terrible. I dont understad how the people can make the suffering to this animals. This is crueltly.

Posted by: Yanet | April 3, 2009 03:12 AM

I was sick to tears after seeing this footage, then very angry. I just cant seem to comprehend how these people can physically do this to anilmals. They will never understand the un conditional love that these beautiful creatures can give...keep up the outstanding work PETA!!!

Posted by: Stephen | April 3, 2009 03:31 AM

The video was so shocking and cruel,the soldiers should be attacked and mutalated the same way, i know i would not cry tears for them like i am for the poor dogs.

Posted by: ANN | April 3, 2009 03:44 AM

I did't even watch the video it would made me sick for weeks.

I know that for a fact after watching the horrors of the barbaric chinese furtrade skinning animals alive.

But I signed against killing animals in the Bolivian army without having to watch these gruesome horrors.

Glad it helped, thank you Peta for exposing these demonic monsters to the world.

Go Vegan, empty every cage and fishbowl.

I am so happy that the Bolivian Government has finally put a stop to this, but the fight for animal welfare does not stop here! It has only just begun! thanks Peta for being the voice of these innocent animals.
I was born in Chile but was brought up in England and going back to my country of birth makes me sad when I see how many dogs are abandoned and roam the streets of Santiago, most of them riddled with mites or simply starving to death. A lot of dogs are killed on the motorways of Chile because that is where people abandon their dogs knowing they will have no chance of survival, how can humans be so cruel?. Every time I return to Chile I want to do something to help these dogs, but I know that the only way is to educate people on how to look after a pet and that simply you can not leave them on the streets when they can’t afford to keep them, I think that it should be taught in schools.
Returning to England with this image on my mind has made me more determined to fight for Justice for the animals. I know that if we all help in which ever way we can results will be seen, just like today’s good news....CONGRATULATIONS........
PETA, I know that you will continue with your work of stopping cruelty and I will always be here to help, I will make sure that my friends join in with the fight too.
Thank you...Angelica (Manchester)

Being soldier is a courageous. This is cowardice, i salute PETA for bringing this issue but not Bolivia.........Hope resolution work to save poor dogs.

Posted by: Pankaj | April 3, 2009 07:37 AM

If these soldiers in the videos are human beings than I must be an alien as I do not understand their behaviour or mindset. If this is what these 'men' do than my opinion is that they would be better off in a lunatic asylum not an army. Have there not been enough people injured in their wars to get the knowledge without this? Surely this kind of brainwashing has dangerous repercussions to the outside society........there is a quote in the Bible about these men in armies - it says "Men kept for unnatural purposes". How right. These people are totally unnatural-have they no conscience?

Posted by: Julie Boyd | April 3, 2009 08:21 AM

well i could not watch all this video, but if any soldier anywhere has done this, god will decide what to do with them, for me bring them on i dont care, i will cut you open and eat your heart, that how i feel. as an animal lover, the hatret that i have for these sick people, so i hope one of you are reading this, your evil and i hope you burn in hell.

Posted by: donna mulholland | April 3, 2009 08:37 AM

It sickens me that people have no regard for animals and treat them as if they're as disposable as garbage. If only they felt the pain that these animals endure. Congrats to PETA and all the supporters to bring some sort of justice to the beautiful animals who cannot speak for themselves through words--cut who can reach out through their compassion.

Posted by: ACP--Chicago, IL USA | April 3, 2009 08:41 AM

Why would anyone want to abuse dogs or any animal in their military exercises?

What was the goal for them to do that?

I'm astounded by the actions of people around the world to do such a thing.

Perhaps if the tables were turned and they were afflicted with the same then they would think differently...

Posted by: Kiri | April 3, 2009 09:17 AM

QUE MIERDA QUE SE HACE LLAMAR PERSONA PUEDE HACER ALGO ASI??? QUE ESTAMOS TODOS TOTALMENTE LOCOS? CON QUE NECESIDAD? POR FAVOR!!! MERECEN MORIR DE LA MISMA MANERA LOS QUE EJECUTARON ESA BARBARIEE!

FUERZA PETA!

Posted by: juan sandes | April 3, 2009 09:29 AM

This video and other videos have had me in tears and I can't describe the pain I feel for these poor animals and can't even imagine what they must be going through and what a HUGE betrayal of trust this is towards humans best friends!!!It's disgraceful,cruel and totally unnecessary!!!I hope this continues to stop once and for all and is followed up and monitored int the future to ensure this!!!

Posted by: Linda Ward | April 3, 2009 10:12 AM

This is a really heartbreaking video to watch cause it's hard to think that a human can do this kind of action of other's that are without defense, it's a good news to know that Peta's action's on this kind of horror is now stop and hopefully the message is spread for others to stop this cruelty.

Posted by: Nancy | April 3, 2009 10:33 AM

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this video, and am now overwhelmed to hear that PETA has done good in making this barbaric people realise what they are doing is wrong.

Yes good job to them!!! What the hell are they thinking doing that to innocent animals?!?! Im almost in tears right now and am just shooken by this!!

Thanks to Peta and Bolivia for their humanity to animals. Has the US followed suit yet. IF not, then Bolivia is a much more humane society. US is supposed to such a compassionate and caring place??.

Posted by: Tina | April 3, 2009 11:12 AM

Thank you so much PETA for your efforts. When I saw the video on the news I was horrified and very sad for all the animals.
However, as a Bolivian citizen I would like you to keep checking on this since many things are said but not done. We have so much cruelty going on right now here (I live in Santa Cruz), please also check out the pound in the Universidad Gabriel Renee Moreno (the practice that goes on with the vet students), it is horrific!

This is really a victory, specially in a under-developed country where animals have NO rights! Believe me, I write from El Salvador and people kill animals with no regret! It´s so pitiful....The greatness of a country reflects on the way it treats its animals.

Posted by: samara | April 3, 2009 12:29 PM

I couldn't even contemplate watching the video. Just reading about the suffering was heartbreaking enough. Thank you for the good news! It's surprising & so encouraging that this victory came so quickly. Hopefully we will see a worldwide ban on the abuse & killing of live animals in all military training. These violent, sick practices, designed to aid/teach people how to then cause more human suffering & death, are beyond horrifying.

These animals deserve so much better & so do the innocent people being caught in the crossfire of our barbaric wars

Posted by: Diedra | April 3, 2009 12:36 PM

This is a great victory, especially for the animals that would have been subjected to this torture in the future. Well done PETA and to all those who petitioned against this barbaric training regime.
This is wonderful news!

Posted by: Sophie | April 3, 2009 01:24 PM

well done peta (again) mans cuelty has no boudaries this is a third world country sad as that is at least they took action to end this horiffic act we in the so called modern world (the west ) think nothing of butchering millions of our animals in abattoirs and science labs .

After i saw the video i start thinking, brave? macho? i thinks those terms are reserved for people who studies and works for the human being not for that i´m pretty sure thet Lt. Gulo doesn´t knows how to write his name coward

Posted by: Marcelo Uriarte MD | April 3, 2009 02:39 PM

I am curious what measures will be taken to ensure that (as other people have also posted the same concerns here)Bolivia will actually enforce this new Resolution 217? Passing this new law looks great on the surface and is a great way to ease the pressure of world-wide protest but will they actually abide this new law and enforce it? That is the big question here.

Posted by: Judy | April 3, 2009 02:54 PM

Felicidades a todos, juntos lo hemos conseguido. Es increíble lo que se puede conseguir con un puñado de firmas. Ahora a seguir luchando, nos quedan las focas en Canadá y otras muchas causas pendientes y por favor, los que estén un poquitico mejor economicamente en estos tiempos tan difíciles que hagan su aportación a PETA que con el dinero aportado que en realidad es poco ellos pueden hacer MUCHO.

Posted by: Carol | April 3, 2009 03:28 PM

I was soooo happy to read they have ended these pointless exercises. I was really upset when I watched the video & asked all my family and friends to sign the petition. I honestly can't understand how people are capable of listening to a defenseless TIED DOWN animal scream in pain and be ok with it. These soldiers should be puinished, I hope in their future they get what's coming to them.

Posted by: courtney | April 3, 2009 03:38 PM

Posted by: Monica | April 3, 2009 10:16 PM

Posted by: c | April 3, 2009 11:22 PM

I can't believe things like this happen. This is awful how they can bare hearing those screams, i could bare hearing nevertheless witness it with my own eyes. I cry every time i see things like this because it really breaks my heart, but i am happy that the Bolivian people stepped forward and ended this abuse. Animals do not deserve such a painful death. I really hope the U.S, who is a much more powerful country can stop it, but money is what the U.S cares about. We are a capitalistic country where money comes first. Animals have that connotation where they are what their name says they are. I don't know who invented such definition.

Posted by: Judith | April 3, 2009 11:52 PM

PETA, thanks again and again for exposing the atrocities against animals. I can't even begin to imagine what comes over another human being when they commit these acts. Bravo? hardly. Holding a helpless dog down whilst you mutilate, and it screams in agony is beyond comprehension. I live in hope that one day these sorts of crimes will disappear...until then, please keep going PETA. Please keep investigating and reporting.
Is there anyway I can also write to the Bolivian govt to thank them for Resolution 217.

Posted by: Natasha | April 3, 2009 11:59 PM

I can't believe this video. I makes me want to vomit. I don't think people like that should be allowed to live. some people just don't care its a sad sight to see. Everyone of those people need a good butt whipping in my opinion. and if i were president helping animals would be one of my first priorities.. GO PETA YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Sylvia | April 4, 2009 06:18 PM

I respecfully BEG to "PETA" to put an eye on BOLIVIAN MILITARY'S, in order to see if they really want to stop with the uncivilized and barbaric practice. As we know, all the Latinoamerican countries are doing many CRIMINALS ACTIONS AGAINST ANIMALS. We need help from International Animal Organizations. We don't have the POWER neither financial and materials resources to stop UNMERCIFUL ACTIONS FROM THE GOVERNMENT to INNOCENTS ANIMALS. My concern, who will control the BOLIVIAN MILITARY'S DOGS IN COMBAT-TRAINING EXERCISES FROM NOW AND ON?? Of course,NOBODY. We don't have to call HISTORIC VICTORY yet. I am very sure that BOLIVIAN MILITARY'S, they will continue with the TORTURE AND MARTYRDOM on dogs. It is only politician's issue.
Please read what the Bolivian citizen say:
However, as a Bolivian citizen I would like you to keep checking on this since many things are said but not done. We have so much cruelty going on right now here (I live in Santa Cruz), please also check out the pound in the Universidad Gabriel Renee Moreno (the practice that goes on with the vet students), it is horrific!

There are still lots of animal abuse in Bolivia, but this is now already a great victory, which will hopefully be followed by many others to protect the animals from being tortured and abused by heartless and feelingless beasts!

Posted by: Tracey | April 8, 2009 01:56 PM

what does this prove? aside from the futility of war and fighting..are their imagined opponents going to be as unassuming and helpless? I would imagine that the soldiers they are training to be able to defeat are also trained in killing..so they won't be helpless and gentle like an animal. I can't believe that after all I've seen happen to animals at the hands of humans, I am still seeing new tortures..really impressive..the military establishments of the world should be proud that they can not only inflict damage and destruction on other humans, but on the animal kingdom as well..hope they can sleep at night...I know they are brainwashed into not having a conscience..maybe they have no cerebral function either. Apparently.

Posted by: Heather | April 8, 2009 06:52 PM

Soldiers are the ones supposed to be helping end suffering... not the ones to bring it upon living creatures. Thanks again to all of you!

Saw this video now. Such barabaric methods of traninging ostensibily meant to make them ruthless commandos, is in fact nothing but cowardice. Killing helpless dogs, aren't you ashamed ? Bolivia. Good that PETA got the animal protection act in place, please make sure that it is FOLLOWED .

Thanks PETA!! Im so happy that torture stopped!

CONGRATULATIONS. You should now take steps towards investigating US ARMY. If they trained Bolivians, where else in the world are they teaching the same practices?? It is good to look into you own home

Posted by: trstn | April 15, 2009 09:39 PM

doesn't the US euthanize enough animals every day without having to be cruel about it?? I hate dogs, but that still does not make me want to do something like that. Now if it was Bin Laden......

I'm glad that it has stopped, but you know i dont think is only in Bolivia, but also in my country PERU, I.m not sure but i have seen couple months ago a report on the spanish news on how they use dogs too in the army to train the soldiers. Please be aware of this. How can we find out for sure?

Posted by: tatiana parra | April 21, 2009 12:33 PM

Posted by: Chris | April 25, 2009 12:32 AM

If i was the richest woman in the world i would get every single suffering animal and build a loving shelter for all. That video made me sick to my heart people that treat any animal in that way should be tourcherd over and over again. Peta keep going x0x0

Posted by: Andrea | April 25, 2009 03:38 AM

Thank you so much PETA for putting an end to this sickness. No animal deserves to die this way, those soldiers do though.

Posted by: Winnie | April 25, 2009 04:00 PM

its funny people will get so mad and enraged and terrified of a human getting hurt or killed but when it comes to animals people laugh that is such a terrible tradagey but of course if we took one of there loved ones and stabbed it in the head and cuts it head off they wouldnt be laughing theyd be trying to lock u up people need to either be locked up for mistreating animals or they need to be finding people to lock up that are doing this if u ever see something dont watch because thats what 99% of people do they watch and keep quiet that made me sick

Posted by: krystalthomasson | April 25, 2009 05:54 PM

THE DEVIL IS ALIVE AND WELL.....WHEN I HEARD THE SCREAMS TEARS POURED DOWN MY FACE.....ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS WHAT I WOULD DO IF I EVER CAUGHT A MOTHER F**KER DOING THIS SICK ASS S**T......

Posted by: vikingfan | April 26, 2009 03:34 PM

Are those the men we trust our lives with? The are not so brave in the battlefield, are they? What heroic act: to kill an innocent dog when others restrain him and to laugh at his screams of pain. When you think a dog is capable of dragging a man to save him or staying by his side at any cost. Thank you PETA for showing the real life.

Posted by: laras | April 28, 2009 06:08 PM

reading these things and watching these videos of animals getting killed just for fashion and other things is wrong this has really made me think of whether id rather be a meat-eater or vegetarian i definitely think im going to be a vegetarian.

Posted by: christina | April 28, 2009 11:03 PM

Congrats .Let us all hope this abuse has ended and that other sick cruelties subjected to animals by humans will one day also come to an end.
Thanks

Posted by: Sarah | April 29, 2009 10:43 AM

that was so sad!!!!!!!!!
did u know more than 115 million animals are killed a year. that made us cry so bad. that we had all tears all over. :(

Posted by: marlene & kathy | April 30, 2009 09:00 PM

Whow this video is so shoking.
i wounder why people like to hurt animals.

Posted by: Liliana Rodriguez | April 30, 2009 10:56 PM

Although this is a FABULOUS victory for animals, I think that people are overlooking the really disturbing thing about this. These people- and our own people- are not being trained to kill or maim, they are being trained not to care. This is desensitization training. If you can kill a defenseless dog, you can kill a man or a woman... or a child. What's the difference? Especially if they don't look like you or talk like you. This is VERY disturbing!

Posted by: Amy Carter | May 15, 2009 12:19 AM

I can't even express myself..

THANKS from the bottom of my heart..

Posted by: Van | May 27, 2009 09:26 AM

This great news! I have been posting the video about the military in Bolivia and the killing of dogs on FaceBook. You could hear their screams. I could almost feel their pain and fear. Hopefully I won't have
to post it any more. Animals,
what did they ever do to be treated that way?

Posted by: Kren | May 28, 2009 03:41 PM

it just horrible why do i live in this wild world

Posted by: Tito | May 28, 2009 11:04 PM

Congratulations on a historic victory!!!!!!!!

The Bolivian military training video was one of the most horrifying videos I have every watched.

Thank you 1,000,000 times over for making Bolivia ban their military abuse of animals!

Posted by: Sanjay Rupani | May 30, 2009 12:44 AM

YES, I've been waiting to hear this news for months now.It's a about time the Bolivian Military knows that using animals , DOGS or any other animal is not the way to do their Trauma and Chemical Casualty Training.THE ANIMALS ARE NOT THE ENEMY!!! NOW less go after the U.S.Military and any others that do this barbaric,cruel and uncivilized act on all innocent animals out there. PLEASE PETA KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU DO FOR ALL ANIMALS IN THIS WORLD.GOD MADE YOU TO HELP US HELP THEM FOREVER AND ALWAYS. BLESS YOU ALL AT PETA AND EVERY ONE OUT THERE WHO HAS A VOICE.We all should stand up for the animals,Their GODS creatures just like we are.They need much LOVE and HAPPINESS.Every living thing on this earth deserves it L.O.V.E. and PEACE TO ANIMALS AND HUMAN ALIKE!!! TRY IT ,IT'S NOT HARD TO DO.

Posted by: karin | May 30, 2009 11:06 AM

THANKS FOR SPEAKING UP FOR GOD'S CREATIONS.ONLY YOU GUYS HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO KICK A**.

Posted by: FRED | May 30, 2009 08:49 PM

This may seem horrifying but sending out soldiers without desensitizing them to the battlefield is essentially cruelty to humans.

A medic who cant bring himself to cut, sew and stitch while hearing his patient scream in agony is sentencing his patient to death or mutilation forever.

A soldier who cant bring himself to kill against the howls and screams of the wounded will more often than not sentence himself or his comrades to a bullet by others who can.

War itself is cruelty. Animal cruelty, even as horrific as this, is unfortunately only one of the smallest and least consequential of the cruelties of war.

Well done Peta and thank goodness not all have the same quite pathetic attitude as our animal loving friend 'john' JUNE 3RD 04.12 PM

Posted by: Lorii Hernandez | June 14, 2009 05:04 AM

I am a Bolivian and what I just saw on the video is just cruelty and makes me sick how our soldiers do this to inoccent dogs and it hurts me and just by watching this video makes me sick and I thank PETA for everything Thank You

Posted by: Gustavo | June 25, 2009 09:12 PM

Thanks for speaking up for those who don't have a voice PETA. It broke my heart to hear that dog yelping in pain. I love dogs. :( But thank goodness Bolivia stopped these acts of animal cruelty.

Posted by: Jena | July 1, 2009 06:33 PM

A DOG IS QUITE CLEARLY NOTHING LIKE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING!! WOULD NOT TRAIN YOU IN THE SAME WAY ATALL, And you would like to think that people who are ment to be helping your country would have the basic common sence to realise that!!!!! very discusted at this video. hardily a victory when it even had to start in the first place!! these people should be pnished for this!! sickens me! Thankyou for your actions to end this though peta! =]

if we fight for what we believe change will follow. animals must be protected and not abused

i'm so happy now!!

Posted by: Madison | August 12, 2009 03:59 AM

Jeez,it is just so sad to see dumb, ego driven idiots like that doing these things to defenceless (and restrained) animals. Let them try it with a loose lion or tiger, now that would be more fair, or even better, to eachother!

Posted by: Irma | September 8, 2009 09:08 PM

We are disgusting beings, maybee one day we may call ourself with dignity in the honor of the word "HUMANS" Thank you PETA for trying to give value to our existence. Will the o so mighty united states will be ready for such a greatness in changes??!................

Posted by: Marlon | September 12, 2009 11:53 PM

How men can abuse animals of any kind like this is beyond understanding. And dogs that gives us so much love and true, purehearted goodwill!! To the defence of all dogs: No other animal have made the same contribution to mankind. They truly enrich our lives in so many ways. A dog wants nothing but to trust us humans. The bond between man and dog, when given the chance, is a rare treasure beyond comparison and something that we humans can never offer one another. A dog knows no envy, no rasism, no greed, no hate and no religion. We should be grateful that they want to spend time with us. Spend it wisely and hopefully, at one point we find that we can learn a thing or two from them...

Posted by: Cecilia | September 16, 2009 11:43 AM

The soldiers were the 'real animals' there... Why must dog?
Thanks PETA for opening our eyes and heart by showing another cruelty from military, army, or even the war itself. Peace to the nature, and the world...
