Well, that's true. Unfortunately, the dying puppy mighta been this particular snapping turtle's last meal. The snapper got the death penalty last month.
About two weeks after the puppy incident, state officials seized Crosland's snapping turtle and euthanized it.
Seems snapping turtles are considered an invasive species in Idaho, and a person who wants to keep one must obtain a permit, which Crosland apparently lacked.
A person found to have one without a permit may be charged with a misdemeanor. I don't think Crosland has been charged in that regard though. He reportedly loves all his animals, so he's already being punished.
