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.

A teenager in Houston has been charged with animal abuse after a puppy was thrown 100 feet to its death. 17-year-old Taylor DeWolfe and another unnamed juvenile confessed to a Texas County Sheriff's Department deputy that he carried the puppy to the top of a fire lookout tower on Highway 38 to throw it off. DeWolfe said the juvenile he was threw the animal off the tower and then tossed it into a nearby ditch.

This is burgeoning serial killer/serial criminal behavior. If someone decides to throw a puppy to its death- and not just that, going out of their way to climb a tall tower to throw said puppy to its death- they're severely fucked in the head. You don't do shit like this and then grow up to be a healthy, functional member of society. I would not be surprised at all to learn that this asshole goes to prison for another crime in the near future.
