Sick, unforgivable treatment
It’s not surprising Idaho schools are ranked 48th in the country when you hear about a teacher feeding a sick puppy to a snapping turtle and claiming it was a humane way to end the puppy’s life. And in front of students no less!
Jurors who found him not guilty of animal cruelty are equally despicable. Working in the veterinary field I’ve seen some unbelievable things, but this is the most horrifying example of animal cruelty I’ve ever seen.
The idea that Robert Crosland is an educator and still has his job is just as unbelievable! Six jurors finding him not guilty proves he was judged by a jury of his peers. If his son was diagnosed with a fatal disease, would he be euthanized by tossing him, alive, into a pit of alligators to be drowned, ripped apart and eaten?
The better lesson for students would have been to take the sick puppy to a vet to be euthanized. He should have been convicted of felony animal cruelty and sentenced based on the theory of an eye for an eye! Sick. Just downright sick and unforgivable in my opinion.
