YouTube.com removed the video for violating the Web site's terms of use.
Officials did not specify the role that each man played in the incident, which
received international attention after a video of it appeared on YouTube.com
March 3.
Lance Cpl. David Motari is being processed for removal for his role, the Marine
Corps said, and Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion also has been punished.
The video shows someone throwing a black-and-white puppy off a rocky cliff. The
dog makes a yelping sound as it flies through the air.
"That's mean. That was mean," someone off-camera is heard saying.
YouTube removed the video about a day after it was posted, "due to terms of use
violation," the site said.
The Marines were quick to condemn the video when it surfaced, calling it
"shocking and deplorable."
Marine officials said the disciplinary action followed a thorough
investigation, according to a statement that the Marine Corps Base Hawaii
released Wednesday.
"The actions seen in the Internet video are contrary to the high standards we
expect of every Marine and will not be tolerated," the statement said.
