Dead pupper mega thread

https://wmms.iheart.com/content/201...ng-live-puppy-to-turtle-in-front-of-students/

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.

Fuck you, Ray Bessman.

Sorry for your loss. I hope I am correct in assuming she died having had a happy and fulfilled life, which is something important we owners sometimes forget in the wake of their passing.

Spoiler: Off-topic

Thank you so much. It means a lot. It's been 7 weeks since she died and the wound is still very raw. It's getting better day by day but it's still hard. I just try not to think about her most of the time because if I do I start crying. I'm shedding a few tears as I write this post.

You're correct in that Clancy had a very long and fulfilling life. I got her when I was only 7 years old and she carried me through my childhood, adolescence, and right through my college graduation. She lived to be 15 years old and she must have been the most spoiled, doted-on dog in the world. I in particular spoiled her rotten with love, treats, and attention and so we were extremely close. She especially loved going on car rides so I often indulged her by taking her with me when I was running short errands.

It's because the rest of my family and I loved her so much that we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to put her to sleep. One day she just lost the ability to walk and go to the bathroom by herself, something that greatly distressed her. We took her to the vet (it was on Sunday, so we actually had to call the vet at home and beg her to come in) but there was nothing anyone could do. We could have pursued surgery, but again, Clancy was very old (not in spirit, but in body) and having her body not work scared her so much. We realized that it would be selfish to make Clancy go through serious procedures and make her live as a cripple just so we could have a little more time with her. We decided to let her go out with the dignity she deserved as thanks for her 15 years of love and companionship. She was put to sleep in our home, surrounded by her family.

I know this is all super off-topic and a lot of people probably don't care, but it feels good for me to get this off my chest. It helps to remember what a wonderful life Clancy had. I'm not sad for her sake, I'm sad because I can't see my baby anymore.

I remember in my class being able to check out a cows heart and poke around around. Kids and parents these days are pansies.

Yeah, dissecting an organ is totally the same as throwing a live animal that people identify with emotionally (puppy) into a cage with another animal to be literally bitten to pieces violently is totally the same thing. These parents are just overreacting, man!

If one of my kids had been there, I would be unhappy to hear this took place, because kids, and people in general, can be traumatized by seeing shit like this, especially in person. I'd rather not risk my kid having nightmares or a life-long phobia or something because some guy thought it would be cool and "educational" to do this. Yeah sure, "educational", why not just toss gerbils into a blender and frappe that shit, it'll be "educational".

Fuck off, edgemeister.

All of United's staff from top to bottom, CEO and flight crew included, should be dragged out into the street and beaten.

Specifically, have their teeth bashed in, just like the Chinese doctor they beat up.

Do it with bricks and a potato gun.

One is needless animal cruelty while the other is the life cycle, animals eating other animals. Would you be also outraged if this lesson had been taught through a NatGeo documentary?

 

[Xerxes IX]

It's United. They got that giant rabbit killed (and employees might have put it in a freezer at that), after all. I was going to say United should just ban animals on their flights entirely if they don't know how to treat them properly but fuck it, they don't know how to treat any living thing including people right.

We find their Furaffinity account full of vore when?

Awe did someones fee fee's get hurt? I had classes where they would throw a frog into an aquarium of piranha.

Snappers will eat anything unlucky enough to fall in front of them, and some breeders prefer to feed stillborn or deformed animals to other things so not to waste stuff (for example I've seen ball python breeders feed stillborns and deformed babies to monitors, frogs, king snakes, king cobras, etc). The puppy still should have been killed more humanely prior though, and frozen for several days to kill any diseases it might have.

Probably lived in worse than anything the dog could have had.

Yeah, dissecting the heart of a cow after it's been slaughtered and soaked in formaldehyde is the needless animal cruelty.

Fuck off, dipshit.

Well looks like you got your answer.

Proof that arming teachers is an excellent idea, they're all pretty stable

 

[Ruin]

I'm moderately impressed by the man's edge. He's almost DMC's donte level.

 

[Somar]

Stories about the deaths of random animals always get me much more sad and emotional than pretty much any celebrity death.

 

[Overcast]

I hate people.

 

[frozenrunner]

It's cool, just feed one of his hands to the same turtle.

 

[Lunete]

F
RIP puppers
May you chase squirrels in puppy heaven.

The Continental merger was a mistake. It used to be an airline based out of Houston, and while the United merger kept Continental's logo, it lost most of the offices in Houston and it went straight down the tubes. Feels like its just desecrating it now.

 

[CaptainMappy]

Yo, but when are they going to release the identity of the flight attendant?

 

[Irwin M. Felcher]

Sue their asses. Sue them into fucking oblivion.

 

[Slap47]

Fuck off, dipshit.

Throwing Gerbils in a blender has no educational merit. Showing kids animals getting eaten by animals shows an important aspect of nature. Is it wrong to teach children this lesson?
