      How long until harming animals wasn’t enough for this person…

      Should’ve cut its throat, skinned it and eaten it and nobody would’ve been bothered

      This is horrific. But reading the news article – “protected animals” like mice and rats?

      My biology teacher took some rats that had been in the labs all year, put them live in plastic bags and then put them in the freezer.

      The next day they were pinned to chopping boards for us to cut up.

      I’m curious how that’s different.

      It’s interesting that she was found to have caused “unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.” There are 2 species of rats in the UK, 4 species of mouse and 2 species of dormouse. Of all of these, only the two dormouse are classified as protected animals and only one of them exists outside somewhere in South East England.

      Since it was specifically for doing it to a protected animal, doesn’t that mean she would still have her job if she’d done it to any other species?

      She’s been disqualified from owning any animals for 7 years. Serious question… why not just a lifetime ban?

      Christ this sub is such a day ruiner I swear. Scrolling Reddit and just casually see the most awful stuff written on in titles here.

      If you’re posting potentially distressing stuff here, please consider phrasing it more carefully in the title.

      Disgusted that she called this an error of judgement. She planned it, bragged about it and then went ahead when told not to do it. That’s not a lack of judgement That’s cruelty.

      Good. Should be jail time and mental health treatment for the psycho though. Punishment for animal cruelty should be stronger in this country.

      Regardless of anything else 

      The sheer lack of empathy is scary. People looking after vulnerable people that have no issues killing via bleach and boiling water shouldn’t be anywhere near care work

      Usually a big indicator, of a psychopath. Common trait in serial killers too.

      When your coworkers are all telling you not to do it and you still do it knowing the pain and harm it’s gonna cause and then you say it’s an error in judgement.. yeah f right off with that. Should be a lifetime ban for owning any pets as this person clearly doesn’t have empathy towards living creatures
