This happened half an hour from where I live. He claimed that the puppy was ill and had deformities that wouldn't allow it to survive.
He was still fired and the snapping turtle was euthanized.
It was an invasive species and he lost custody of it after the incident.
And because the judge was probably too lazy to find a nearby zoo to take it in.
I was traumatized as a kid after my dad made me watch our friend's pet snake eat a small mouse...alive. It took so long. And the snake didn't give a fuck so the mouse went into his mouth alive. Fuck you dad. I cried for hours
It was a baby mouse. I was five. I sobbed the whole time but my dad forced me to watch. It made these heartbreaking wailing noises as it died. Now my hands are shaking god dammit
I don't care. I didn't want to see it and it was completely irresponsible of my father to show me that at such a vulnerable age for no reason. Maybe you would think differently if you had been there.
