PRESTON — A junior high school teacher is under investigation after he fed a puppy to a snapping turtle in front of students, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the situation.


Robert Crosland has taught science at Preston Junior High School for years. In a news release, Preston School District 201 Superintendent Marc Gee says his administration became aware of “a regrettable circumstance involving some of the biological specimens” on March 7.

“The event occurred well after students had been dismissed and was not a part of any school-directed program,” Gee said in a news release. “We emphasize that at no time was the safety of students or staff compromised.”

Creepy. My local tv news said the puppy was alive. It's reported the puppy was sick. He let kids watch it.

And we've been wondering why these kids keep going ballistic in school?

Because turtles won't eat rubber puppies? Sort of rules out the Rubber room

It's about animals. Did you want it posted somewhere else?

This kind of thing goes on in nature all the time. It was a bad choice in the part if the teacher. However, had the teacher fed the turtle a live mouse, this probably would not be a news story. People feel a connection with dogs/puppies that does not exist with many other animals.

I’m hungry for a hamburger.

Considering the article, GD, or Badlands would be a better fit

Public school teachers are a menace to our children and society.

I wouldn't want to watch either take place. But yes people do feel bond with puppies I think it was awful.
