Another American teacher charged with animal cruelty

[Catherine]

What is the matter with these people!

First, take the puppy to the vet! If it was dying it could have been humanely killed. If it needed medical treatment  it might still be alive. That is a good question, where did the puppy come from. Who walks around with a dying puppy.

What was the teacher doing with a snapping turtle, one for which he had no permit.  Because he had the turtle without a permit, he is ultimately responsible for the turtle's death as well. I think the turtle could have been relocated. It would have needed a turtle sanctuary. It couldn't just be released to the wild, but  there are sanctuaries and facilities that house turtles.

I think everyone behaved badly. Government agencies have a tendency to euthanize animals rather than look for places where they can safely live. It is a bad attitude towards the animals they are supposed to protect.

Where are they finding these teachers who kill animals in front of their students?
Then they will wonder why they have a bullying problem and why there is so much violence in the schools.
They are learning it from their teachers.
