On 4 January, Robert Crossland, a male teacher in a junior high school in Idaho, United States, was acquitted. The reason for this is that in March last year, Crosland fed a sick puppy after school. The brutal crocodile turtle (which is one of the world ' s largest fresh water turtles, large and aggressive) and many school students have witnessed the whole process of implementation, after which the male teacher was accused of abuse by some parents.
Many people spoke for the teacher, and his son Mario also stated that his father had spent his life thinking about animals. Mario said, "The dog drowned before he touched the crocodile." The prosecution, on the other hand, stated that the dog was probably not sick at all at that time and that it was perfectly possible not to put it in the water.
When Crosland was under investigation, he said, “I honestly think that my own approach was the right one, and that it was helping it out of its misery as soon as possible.”
A student who knew the truth testified that Mario had first received the sick puppy from a farmer, who was in very precarious condition and then handed it to his father. He said Dad's character was to do anything to save animals.
Mario's eyes were filled with tears, “Daddy loved animals all his life and saw someone try to destroy him while he was doing his best”.
On 4 January this year, Crossland was acquitted, and counsel for the accused claimed that the dog had become ill and could not be saved before he was exposed to the crocodile turtle, an act that was not a crime at all.
According to the school ' s sources, Crossland had been in school for many years in the natural sciences and had been widely loved by teachers and students, and the turtle, which was in fact an invasive species, had been executed for euthanasia. Mario said that his father would rather end the dog ' s life than watch it continue to suffer.
