Teacher kills rabbit in class
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho biology teacher is facing possible disciplinary action after killing and skinning a rabbit in class to show students where their food comes from.
Nampa School District spokeswoman Allison Westfall said the teacher killed the rabbit in front of 16 students by snapping its neck on Nov. 6 at Columbia High School.
The rabbit was then skinned and cut up in front of the 10th-graders. Westfall said the demonstration isn’t part of the biology curriculum.
Freezing Denver kitty recovering
DENVER (AP) — A kitten found in sub-zero weather in Denver is perky and purring after workers at an animal shelter used heating pads, blankets and hair dryers to save its life.
The kitten, about 3 months old, was found tangled in some electric wires on a porch Thursday and brought to the Denver Dumb Friends League.
Shelter spokeswoman Megan Rees said the orange tabby was barely breathing and her temperature was so low it didn’t register on a thermometer.
Workers also used hot water bottles, booties and a blanket that fluffs up with warm air to heat up the cat.
After an hour and a half, she began to perk up and start eating.
The staff named her Elsa after the character in the Disney movie “Frozen.” She’ll be put up for adoption if no one claims her.
