Feeding Time at the Local High School
LEON, Kansas - It's feeding time at the zoo. Or, rather, it was feeding time for two boa constrictors at Bluestem High School that recently caused a raucous. Biology teacher Matthew Patton routinely kept his two pet boas in his classroom and often fed them in front of students so they could learn how serpents eat something larger than they are. Everything turned into chaos when school board member Davy Harkins (who also runs an animal clinic) gave Patton three puppies.
The puppies were going to be euthanized, so Harkins figured it would be more productive to have Patton serve them as dinner for the boas. Students were in tears when their teacher wanted to feed the puppies to the boas, and the school was in an uproar. The school stepped in and stopped the feeding just in time. Meanwhile, Principal Dale Harper indicates that some people want the biology teacher fired.
"When you have soft cuddly puppies...there are people who get real concerned," he said.
