The turtle drowned the puppy before eating it. But yeah, Crosland put the puppy in the turtle's tank in the first place, in front of student witnesses. Is it a case of poor judgment, or is Crosland himself one sick puppy?
It crossed my mind that maybe it wasn't the first time that Snappy was offered similar prey too. I read a few different articles and didn't find any claims that it happened more than once, but it will be interesting to see what the investigation uncovers.
Franklin County sheriff’s deputies opened an investigation into the teacher for animal cruelty and relayed their findings to Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Vic Pearson. Pearson, citing a conflict of interest, said he would pass the case on to another prosecutor in the region.
The Idaho Humane Society has offered to help in the investigation and said they shared the concerns of “all of our constituents who are deeply disturbed by the news from Preston, Idaho, regarding the allegations of the mistreatment of a puppy [in a] classroom setting.”
