According to a Monday report in East Idaho News, longtime Preston Junior High School science teacher Robert Crosland is in trouble over what Preston School District 201 Superintendent Marc Gee says is a “regrettable circumstance involving some of the biological specimens” for use in Crosland’s classes.

The regrettable circumstance was, uh, apparently feeding a puppy to a snapping turtle while students watched.

Why not feed it a dead whole chicken?

Whatever. The best the school can say is that it was “unclear” that the puppy was dead...many witnesses say that it was NOT.

Furthermore, he was apparently well-known for doing this repeatedly with live guinea pigs, etc.

What is wrong with YOU that you feel it is OK to feed a live puppy to a snapping turtle in front of a bunch of children? These students are in Idaho..I’m sure they have heard/seen plenty of rabbits get caught by coyotes, eagles & other predators in the wild. This is just making a sport of it with “pets”...and at school...he is a sicko.

Some students reported that they heard the puppy cry out.

If the puppy wasn’t dead, charge him with felony animal cruelty.

So, should he starve the turtle? And it is a crime to feed the turtle?

Snowflakes!

You make a good argument for raising the age to buy a gun to 21.
And i really do not support that.
This teacher us a Frick en idiot and anyone who would defend him is devoid if human decency. Hope when you grow up you get a job in some other country.

You have a problem. Sick mind.

Dead animals can emit noise when pressure is applied to the torso because air is forced out of the lungs... just like air in a squeaky toy.

Dogs and cats are special animals.
Only a paticularly sick bastard would do such a thing or defend it.
I keep reptiles. I don’t feed them digs or cats or live animsls.
Get professional help. Soon.

I usually fall on the side of calling our treatment of students pretty soft.

In this case I make an exception. What a dope.

Poor judgement, but wanting to feed a human to a shark over this also shows a lack of mental stability...

I wouldn’t want him teaching my son, but I do not wish him dead.

There is only this clickbait article making accusations.

Yet you are willling to see this man’s life destroyed because of that.

We have such a thing as due process where actual evidence is presented from both sides.

It is especially important to follow that with these type of cases that invoke an emotional response.

You are promoting what amounts to an Internet lynching.

We don’t do that here. Turtles have to find their own puppies in the wild.

There's a video of a kitten being snatched (by a Muskie) from a Japanese pond's shoreline. Myself? I wouldn't go there again. :(

Read some news articles. It happened well after school. No word if the puppy was live or dead.
