Internet Puppy Killer Captured?
This past Monday, August 30, early in the morning, IDA staff spotted on the internet a deeply disturbing video – a young girl had been filmed tossing live newborn puppies into a fast moving river. There was no indication of where or when the act had occurred. We called an emergency staff meeting and decided to do whatever we could to help catch the killer.
IDA’s Communications Team and Investigative Team that included a staff cruelty investigator, a linguist and a private detective, got to work researching and working our international contacts, including activists in neighboring Croatia, and we offered a reward for information leading to her arrest, prosecution, and conviction. We immediately reposted the video and circulated it around the world – it received over 60,000 views in four days. We issued a news release and spread it across Europe, since various elements of the video gave it a “European feel” and an earlier poster of the video felt he had identified the river as one in Bosnia.
We received dozens of tips through our Twitter and Facebook accounts and via e-mail.
We’re happy to report that a girl believed to be the perpetrator was caught today by police in Bosnia. The suspect is from the central Bosnian town of Bugojno. We’ll continue to follow this story and do whatever we can to ensure this individual, if she is indeed guilty, receives the maximum punishment allowed under Bosnian law. It appears that, under Bosnian law, she faces a fine of from $19 (US) to $6,400.
Many thanks to all of you who assisted in the search!

This piece of trash was most likely told by her parents to do it!? Parents need to be held accountable also … total white trash
Any news on the outcome?
she needs to be put away and serve time, so she may then have to think about what she is doing, remove her freedom for a bit. thanks ida again
I wanted to share my story with you guys about my puppy. The day my puppy was born it died caused by premature birth. It was a sad day time and nicely i couldnt even give her a name. Very sad day for me.
Humans are animals too. We must show compassion for all living creatures, no matter how sickening their actions. This girl was obviously acting out unresolved abuse of her own. She needs a doctor, not a punishment.
Cruelty to animals is the first sign of a psychopath so I hope she is sorted out before she does anything else to harm animals or humans!!!
omg, $19 is the starting price to pay for 5 or 6 puppies getting killed? That’s just not right, they need to put her in Jail, and fine her as much as they can go up too!! But I’m sure if she did this she probably has no money and will get away with it, which will be so bad. No one should get away with what this girl did, and they should give her the max sentence!!!!!
She’s a female Hannibal Lektor. Anyone who is this sadistic will commit more crimes. $19 is a joke, right? Good job though IDA!
You guys are awesome! The fine is too puny ~ she needs to be educated ~ must not have much in the way of brains or a heart!
I can NOT believe $19?? WTF?? She should get the MAXIMUM PENALTY of $6400 plus JAIL TIME and NEVER EVER allowed to be near ANY animals!! and she should be publicly shamed in her home town so everyone knows who she is!! She is evil!!!!
Fine is not enough. Hang the bitch!!!!!!!!!!!
I’M VERY HAPPY! SHE IS CAPTURED!! SO EVIL WOMEN!! MUST! SEVERELY! PUNISHED AND HER BROTHER SAME! JUSTICE! FOR THEY POOR INNOCENT BABY* ANGELS* R.I.P BLESS YOU ALL<3***
She should be given the maximum punishment, and maximum punishment should be increased, to see that something like this never occurs again. It’s heartless and beyond cruel. Anyone filming or associated with a cruel act like this should also be prosecuted.
to see someone so young and so cruel is disturbing to say the least.she needs to be punished. it appears she takes joy in killing.very scary. .i am a rescue volunteer in ny and we have our share of very cruel cases.but this is just plain evil and sick.i look forward to finding out she is in jail and paying a hefty fine.and yes her parents need to be hide their faces in shame for raising such an evil child.thank you for the update and god bless all of you for your efforts to fight cruelty.
I hope this girls gets the maximum punishment!!
I’m very happy she was caught. That girl needs serous conseling and more than just a fine. she is heatless and will do it again if not punishes the right way.
I hope that she receives what she deserves, besides the fine she has to pay they should put her in a kind of brain rehabilitation program that is what she really needs. TO THE TEAM AND PERSONS WHO ORGANIZED THIS PERSECUTION, THANKS WELL DONE.
thank you very much IDA.
Make her pay more and make her go to jell she deserve to pay what she have done to those inocent puppies, they will be missed. she should never be allowed near or adopt any pet because if she wanted appeard on youtube what she will do next scary..
Thank you so much for the work that you have done and for keeping us informed of this horrible crime. We need to let the world know that it is not alright to hurt the innocent….
they should also arrest the person who stood there and shot the video!
Thank You, IDA for spreading the video around the world to hopefully catch the individual who committed this cruel act. With a smile on her face, in my opinion, this is a person that has mental illness and needs serious help before she hurts another animal or next, a person. Aren’t there Psych wards in Bosnia too?
I for one don’t care how ‘young’ she is or claims to be, in America we charge minors as adults all the time. There is no excuse for this and the sooner she is publicly outed, revealed and shamed the better. Evil is personified in this video and society must be protected from this pathetic excuse for a human being.
are you serious $6,400 is not enough these where 6 innocent puppies whats the difference between 6 puppies and 6 human babies she should be sent down for life she killed 6 count them 6! innocent lifes she doesnt even deserve to see the light of day the cruel heartless whore
The internet in incredible! It has helped stop an obviously troubled child. We don’t know what caused her to do this — perhaps she is a victim of some type of abuse. I hope she gets the appropriate help she needs. P.S. We have to love people too and know they sometimes behave badly because of their environment.
Thank god !!! now punish her and her brother
who would do that killing dogs is just wrong
Hooray!! I am so excited that she was caught. I am absolutely amazed at how quickly she was arrested thanks to IDA! You guys are amazing! She should be punished to the ABSOLUTE FULLEST extent of the law and then some. People like that end up being serial killers, she should be put away for life!
Good work. Hope she gets exactly what she deserves. She is a sick and cruel child.
She should get *at least* one year in jail for each puppy she tortured to death. And her parents need to step it up and do a better job. Sorry but i was raised to know that what this girl did is plain evil.
PS; Thankyou for acting so quickly..
I hope it is her,& pray the Bosian Police and People react in disgust.She must be made an example of.Im going for $6400, some kind of internment (she looks very young) & police record.
$19? ;/
$19?! Ridiculous! I’m sure the fine for littering well exceeds that!!!
Seriously, $19-6400? Not enough if you ask me! What she did was murder. You can’t bring the puppies back. Horrible, just horrible. She should rot in jail.
Great job, IDA!!! You’re in the right place, Scotlund!
)
Thank you for bringing her to justice.
Thanks so much for your hard work to track down this destructive child. And thanks to the hubris of cruel people who are clearly not smart enough to realize that the video they were proud enough to post could get them in trouble.
I think there should be a law where these people get exactly what they did to these poor, innocent animals! I just can’t understand how someone can be so cruel, she’s definitely a “human” with no feelings, a total pshycopath!!!
I hope they put this piece of trash away for good she should never be allowed around animals or children – she is not crazy, just heartless
Good JOB!!!! AND THANK YOU!!!!!
Do the same to her she is dispicable..
