"IMO, the kids should have been allowed to try to hand raise the rabbits. You can buy formula and tiny bottles at any pet store for small animals. "

"We've taken in baby squirrels that were abandoned. It's a good "life lesson." Feedings every few hours, some live, some die, it teaches kids responsibility."

Same here. As kids we LOVED to do this and had success with it. It taught us resect for LIFE and learned how to be RESPONSIBLE.

From what is said here, there was NOTHING wrong with the baby rabbits other than this teacher wanted them dead. The kids also offered to try and raise them - what a wonderful experience this could have been. Instead the teacher angered and chose to beat the baby rabbits to death with a shovel. The IS CRUEL. What a MONSTER for a teacher. She should be terminated.

It said they were sickly and the mother rabbit rejected them --- if the babies were fine, then there was something wrong with the mother and she should have been destroyed.
