        ...and now the turtle has been killed too...poor animals. They should have charged him with a felony instead of a misdemeanor.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/03/16/turtle-euthanized-after-teacher-allegedly-feeds-puppy/433195002/ …

        I agree they should’ve charged him with a felony. Jeffrey Dahmer started the same way. They should investigate him and dig up his backyard too. He’s a monster

        The turtle is doing what it is on it’s nature, the teacher is grotesque and torturous I would not want him anywhere near my kids he did that because he enjoyed it , and it was animal abuse there was no reason to do that disgusting and horrifying, he should be barred from teaching

        Seriously. Some students and parents came to his defense? And the article quotes a parent saying if it was deformed and going to die anyway it's the circle of life? Of course some people are crazy but it's so hard to imagine the majority of the class were okay with that...

        Why is this crazy? Ohhhhhh, because a dog is cute. Do you cry murder when someone feeds a mouse to a snake? Doubt it.

        Replying to @RamboRando1 @collinsbry @USATODAY

        I think mice are cute too. Conscious live mice should not be fed to snakes. It is unnecessarily cruel to the mouse and potentially deadly to the snake. If not feeding frozen mice, a responsible owner quickly kills it as humanely as possible.

        Thank you for saying that! It's all about humanity and knowing that other beings feel pain. And yes, I eat meat.. and yes, I definitely struggle with that often. But I am always thankful for the animal that gave up their life so that I can eat.

        Jeffrey Dahmer did the same thing. Kill animals like dogs and cats. You guys better investigate him thoroughly. I would even dig up his backyard. This is not a human this is a monster

        Where is the Turtle's right to Feed? That Teacher Broke no laws. Circle of Life. That Hamburger are that Chicken you ate for dinner was once ALIVE & sick at one time. EVERY animal gets eaten. What makes a Puppy so special to the laws of Nature?

        Every animal doesn't get dangled over an animal that would normally never be its predator and get tortured to death, genius. But you try to sound intelligent though. Fail

        Good. This teacher lacks common sense, compassion, and human decency. I am troubled that he influences young minds.

        Yep. That's what I meant when I talked about common sense, compassion, and human decency. I wonder if there is an animal doctor to help with said things? Maybe one day.
