Unfortunately, that's not a sufficient reason to fire a teacher. I know that if the Union is strong enough down there and she is a member, if they try to fire her it won't work....unless she broke some severe law.

Molly, I'm sure you don't mean it this way, but don't you think
that animal abuse qualifies as a severe infraction of law? That's
what's wrong with society's mindset now, too many people do
not take animal abuse as a SERIOUS crime.

From the article: "Her only comment was that she had made a bad decision," said Animal Services investigator Dennis McCullough. "I definitely felt that the teacher needed to be held accountable."

The veteran teacher is also facing questions from the school board, which plans to review the case.

"We haven't talked to the teacher yet," schools spokesman Mark Hart said, "but we believe that she was trying to explain to them that, sometimes in the course of farming, it is necessary to put animals down."

I believe the "Teacher" in her should have encouraged kindness
& compassion & let the students try to save the bunnies. Even
if she felt they wouldn't live, she still would be encouraging them
in the right direction don't you think.She made a very bad choice
& I think she knows it now.
