This past weekend, one of the animals was stolen from the Twin Falls Zoo, and they need your help finding the people who did committed the crime.

The punishment for misdemeanor animal cruelty in Idaho could include a six-month jail sentence.

An Idaho teacher accused of feeding a sick puppy to a snapping turtle in front of several students has been charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty.

Crosland allegedly fed a dying puppy to a snapping turtle on March 7 in front of others in his classroom.

Special permits are required to own such animals, which apparently Crosland didn't possess.

The incident took place last Wednesday, March 7, just after school was dismissed for the day.
