Dead pupper mega thread

This is really horrifying. There's literally no reason for junior high students to see this. It serves no educational value whatsoever. I don't care if the puppy had a deformity and was sick. If it was going to die you euthanize it humanely. You don't feed it live to a turtle in front of children to teach them about the circle of life.

I'm surprised that some parents are defending this. It actually didn't happen during class but during a supplementary lesson after school. The teacher had previously fed other animals to reptiles.

There are always tough moments in biology class from wrapping your head around osmosis to dissecting a frog, but one teacher in Idaho gave some students a lesson they will never forget when he fed a live puppy to a turtle.

After school, Preston Junior High School science teacher Robert Crosland taught about the circle of life by letting a snapping turtle have at a live pup. Not surprisingly, he is now under investigation with animal rights activists calling the demonstration "disgusting and sick." One told the local Fox affiliate, "Allowing children to watch an innocent baby puppy scream because it is being fed to an animal. That is violence. That is not okay."

However, some parents and students are defending the teacher, pointing out that the puppy had deformities and would've died soon anyways. One student told the East Idaho Post the Crosland is "a cool teacher who really brought science to life," adding, "I loved his class because he had turtles and snakes and other cool things."

Previously, Crosland had fed guinea pigs to the snakes and turtles in his classroom, but it's not clear if they were alive or not.

In a press release, Preston Junior High explained there is now an investigation into the incident and asked parents to be patient and remember the "years of care, effort and passion" from Crosland.

Meanwhile, the superintendent called the event "a regrettable circumstance involving some of the biological specimens," and stated that it did not happen during school. The local sheriff is also looking into what occurred.

Turtle must be Korean.

The only way he can worm his way out of this is trooning out.

Hope the snapping turtle is still hungry...

 

[MG 620]

Yeah, and he better start up a suicide hotline too.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Probably his fetish.

 

[HG 400]

Calm down it's just a dog.

"THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO GENDERS GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CLASS!!!" vs "Check this this out guys."
School is pretty rough these days huh

 

[Salt Water Taffy]

What, they didn't just put on the Lion King and call it "teaching about the circle of life" and then go sneak out behind the school to smoke?

Times have changed, I remember in 1st grade we had a teacher mention that shooting something in the head kills it instantly, and nobody batted an eye....

THese days? Look out social justice mob.

That said, feeding LIVE things to other live things isn't necessary to teach this particular lesson. "Don't be cruel, the inevitability of death does not mean one must suffer" is important too.

Though the "circle of life" lesson is an important one. The number of videos on YouTube of Eagles catching fish, or foxes catching bunnies that have comment sections full of chastising the cameraman for "doing nothing to help" makes me wonder if some people think predatory animals can just hit up their government-supplied vending machine if they're hungry.

 

[Y2K Baby]

Holy shit, what the fuck, lol.

That's pretty badass.

 

[Aib Ld]

I won't lie, I didn't know turtles can eat dogs until now.

Alligator Snapping Turtles are badasses with mouths like pruning shears. Anything that goes in there is 100% coming off. We had to keep our dogs from fucking with them every once in awhile.

He was just demonstrating the way feral teachers feed puppies to turtles in the wild.

That's why I don't understand why the teacher just didn't show a nature film. There are so many of them.

The cameramen aren't supposed to interfere with nature. Although there have always been allegations that some crews have provoked animals to attack each other. Lions are very boring most of the time. They sleep throughout most of the day. No one wants to watch a two hour documentary of lions sleeping and wildebeests chomping grass.

 

[Boyfriend Coefficient]

That's pretty fucking metal.

Just because there's constant suffering in the animal kingdom doesn't mean you should contribute to the particularly painful abuse of one of the more conscious and emotional animals we have, let alone 'man's best friend', a species that has directly aided us for centuries. People can be like "lol it's just a dog" but why a dog specifically? Dogs are clearly much more aware and intelligent than a hamster.

The teacher is getting off to this in some way. Snapping turtles have incredibly brutal bites(basically like you're being stabbed) and rip apart skin/pieces of their prey little by little because they can't kill animals quickly like other predators.

 

[Foltest]

He could have demonstrated with an insect or something along those line. Not a goddamn puppy! Is he on meth or what?

Definitely. They'll take off a finger in an instant.

I've got a picture somewhere of a family member holding one of those prehistoric monsters by the tail. They were digging a post for a fence and somehow it was underground. I know they hibernate underground, but there was zero indication of ground disturbance. There might've even been grass growing over it.

It's too bad the environmental hippies won't let us eat them anymore, I could sure go for a bowl of terrapin soup right now...

@Coleman Francis bet you teacher was white lol

After their career as TMNT villains went down the toilet, Tokka and Rahzar had to find work somehow.
