PRESTON, IDAHO — An Idaho teacher is in hot water after allegedly serving up a sick puppy as a meal to a snapping turtle in front of several students. <br />Robert Crosland, a science teacher from Preston Junior High School, was charged last Friday with misdemeanor animal cruelty, according to CBS News. Crosland is now facing up to six months behind bars and a $5,000 fine if convicted. <br />According to parents that snitched, Crosland served the puppy up to the turtle on March 7. <br /><br />The turtle was then seized a few weeks later by state officials, who euthanized it because it was an invasive species. <br />Petitions have been started on both sides of the argument, those calling for Crosland's dismissal and others supporting the teacher.
