IS THIS BULLSHIT OR APPROPRIATE?

[HairOfTheDog]

Reminds me of a story someone told me about this little six year old girl who came into his pet store once and asked "excuthe me, mithter, do you thell wittle wabbits"? And he thought she was adorable with her lisp so he answered "Why YETH little thweetheart, we thell wabbits. Would you like a fluffy white wabbit, or a cute fuzzy wittle brown one?"
The little girl thought for a minute and answered, "I don't think my python really gives a thit."

Along those lines.......in the reader comments, some people are contending that pet owners who feed their reptiles live mice and such should be charged with animal cruelty too because a rhodent's right to life shouldn't be less valued than a puppy's.

Anyway, if the incident went down as described in the linked article, I understand what Crosland did. It's sad to imagine a puppy being drowned and eaten, violent way to go. But, IF the poor puppy was close to death anyway and the death was a quick one, I can see why a science teacher would do it in a manner that fed the food chain.
