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.

Poor choice of food for kids to witness, but meat is meat.
Regrettable circumstance,That’s what it is.This teacher should be fired and have his teaching license removed.
He should also be charged with abuse of an animal if this incident is proven to be true.
Story should let people know if it was dead or not!!!
What a suck-up student!
Cute warm fuzzy puppies often taste better than scraggely looking ones. Thats what my snapping turtle told me.
And we eat cows, pigs, chickens and fish. But not dogs and horses.
Maxine Waters grade stupid.
There is a Yuge tortise that lives in town. Has its own yard to frolic in and everything. Its at least 75 pounds and the owner has had it since she was a kid. Strong emotional attachment and it will probly outlive her and probably her kids. Its a nice Turtle.
There is sense to what you say.
What I take issue with are what some people here are saying to excuse such an act or defend it - regardless of whether or not he did it.
We don’t troll for muskies using puppies for bait on Lake St. Clair..........

Thanks for posting this. A teacher who can help snowflakes separate emotions from reality in todays America deserves praises. We freepers mock the, “safe spaces” academia is employing in shielding students from any facet of unpleasantness in the world yet it seems we can’t handle our own squeamishness.
I’ve been in some Asian countries but have never knowingly eaten dog. On the other hand, the old Bookbinder’s restaurant in Center City Philly made the best snapper soup I ever had.
I never made the connection to young kids who kill animals to those who have pets who need to be fed live food. I wonder if there has ever been a psych study on that! Ha.
Anywho. Animals are not fallen, however, they are under the curse given after the flood when they were given to man as food. That curse will be lifted after the return of the Messiah when the lion will lay down with the calf. We will be vegetarian along with the lion.
Genesis 8 and Isaiah 11 NASB
Until then, I think our education system should be held to the highest standard and the weak, deformed, and unheard should be helped not sacrificed. This includes the pre-born human.
We are products of intelligent design and should not be taught that we are descendants of animals. We are responsible for their care because this is our Father’s world.
Evolution of the body is pretty much fact. At some point, some ancestral hominid was given a human soul - Adam.
Since animals, LIKE MAN BEFORE EATING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT, are incapable of knowing good from evil, they ate not capable of sin. Ergo, since they are incapable of knowing good from evil, they can”t be under any curse.
No reports say it was dead from what I see, and a few say it was alive, which would have involved a lot of crying and screaming. My guess is an asshole student with serial killing tendencies brought the puppy in, and he let them feed it to the turtle.
It is probably an indication of psychopathy in the teacher. Not the type that will have him killing people, but enough that he doesn’t have the boundaries most people have. I mean what teacher runs what is basically worse than a BestGore video for his students?
As a general rule, I have always found people who kept snakes and predatory reptiles have something going on psychologically. Maybe there are normals out there who do it, but from my own experience keeping an animal is a lot of work and investment. I’ve probably known seven or eight over the years, and all had some real darkness in them, though they’d protest they were normal to their deaths.
It is one thing if the animal has a personality and some form of loyalty exists, but keeping what is basically a fleshy killing robot with no personality does on its face seem strange. Expending all the effort and cost to have a smelly killing machine, when for less you could have a rabbit or even duck that would have more personality and be more amusing, and not require killing lots of animals to feed it is just strange, I don’t care what anybody says.
It is interesting. Lately I see a big divergence between people. Some want everyone around them, including the puppies, to be happy and not upset. And some seem to see a case of misery and revel in it, and feel the need to defend its right to be, unaltered.
It is to the point I knew the responses that would show up here before I clicked on the link. Even discussions of where the Asian markets burn dogs and other animals alive to highlight their musculature for sale, people show up defending it as just normal harvesting of animals, and acting as if anyone bothered by it is sick somehow, and inferior.
Sometimes it really feels like somebody is amassing an army of misery-lovers for something that is coming.
LOL!
Seems the story is a bit more complicated than some may be believing. It’s not clear if the puppy was alive or dead when fed to the turtle.
At any rate, shows some poor judgement on the teacher’s part IMO and there’s no real educative value here either that I can see.
Yeah, wild animals eat other animals, that’s known. No reason to demonstrate this fact so graphically though. Borders on pathological.
I swear, the morons on this thread. Torturing a dog by letting a snapper crush off pieces is a little different than discussing libertarian principles.
Teaching kindness by killing the animal painlessly first would have been fine. A crying puppy is beyond the pale.
