A press release today from Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Oahu states that the investigation is ongoing and that the Corps deplores the apparent act of animal cruelty. The investigation may be concluded soon, according to Maj. Chris Perrine, base spokesman. The puppy video gained international attention and local interest when people on the Internet identified the Marine in the video as a Monroe man. The man’s family became a focus for Internet vigilantes who harassed the parents and their places of business with e-mails and phone calls, forcing them to discontinue phone service. The man in the video has not yet been officially named by the Marine Corps.
